GAY GAY GAY

Yes, I am sure there are some people out there who are tired of hearing about it. I am tired of hearing about GAY MARRIAGE. So you know how it can all end? MAKE IT LEGAL. We will all shut up, some of us will get married, some of us will get divorced. All of us will spend LOADS of money in local industries to help out the economy (which doesn't ever seem to be acknowledged as a benefit to society). So far, I have not heard of ONE heterosexual couple who has been injured by legalizing same sex marriage. When I went to law school a 1/2 a lifetime ago, I remember two things from filing a law suit: standing (having an actionable connection) and an "injury" (which is often defined in a monetary loss). Neither of those things has occurred to my reading of the situations. Obviously it was brought on other grounds but I think it is important to bring these things up to people. Where is the INJURY?
I have been out since 1972. All we have wanted is equality under the law, and to live our lives in safety. You don't have to love or even like us; hell I dont like all of us. But really?
Thats all I got. Right now.

Hi My Name is Debra and I am a TV addict.

Just read a post where some brave woman admits to being a TV addict. So I thought I would come clean too.
TV has saved my life these past few years. Without the ongoing antics of, well, there are too many to name, since I am running out to the Paley Fest in Bev Hills, to hear the cast of NASHVILLE, talk.. but without those characters, I do not think I would have made it thus far. I admit to enjoying the acting, the stories, the productions, heck even a commercial or two. I know, heresy for a left leaning lesbian feminist. But they say the first step is admitting, and I am do that now. Plus, since my group meeting is during that early 6-7 hour I am not in fear of missing any of my shows. (Thank you TV G-ds for HULU, On-Demand and DVR). Ok now you can judge me.
