"There is no such thing as a homosexual or a
heterosexual person. There are only homo- or heterosexual acts. Most
people are a mixture of impulses if not practices.""Now you have people in Washington who have no
interest in the country at all. They're interested in their companies,
their corporations grabbing Caspian oil."
Just two of my favorite quotes from the recently departed Gore Vidal.

Creepster Brewer.
Good morning people!
I am back up on my soapbox for a moment. The governor of Arizona is pushing to have employers not cover domestic partners in benefits packages, and that just about burns my bum like a three foot flame. It is my belief that when it comes to employment-related things of this nature, an employee is an employee regardless of orientation. Therefore, gay employees should be covered under the same family benefits as straight ones are. It is not your employer's business who you go home to. It doesn't cost more to cover a gay person's insurance costs. (Wow can you believe that, we're not all AIDS liabilities after all!)
Things like this drive me up a wall. In a country where it's hard enough to find decent work, let alone decent work with good benefits, this type of issue should really be a nonpoint. What you do for a living has no connection to what your orientation is. Unless of course, you're gay for pay. Then...well, that's a different story.

Yay, Nay, and a Whale of a Tale!
On a Yay! Note:
"Let bygones be bygones, and bi-girls be bi-girls" made me just about squee with joy at True Blood this weekend.
On a Nay! Note:
Looking at pictures from this weekend made me cry. What the FUCK is that redheaded whale doing in my bathing suit?! :'(
