PSA: Live Long and Marry
So, probably everyone who watches me has already heard about this? But my home state just recently passed a law that allows for gay marriage. Even though my partner is male, I was still so proud and happy and moved that I cried when I heard the news. My family have already stood as witnesses for various out-of-state couples whom our Rabbi has married this month, and it's just been such an incredible thing; you can really see how much these people love each other, and how much this means to them even aside from the step towards equal legal rights.
And now there's an initiative on the November ballot that would make those marriages invalid and prevent future couples from having the right to marry.
Among the IRL things I'm doing about the situation, I'm also offering art at the fundraiser auction Live Long and Marry. My post has more details, but I'm offering a fully colored, finished pic of any fandom I've done so far (and you can ask about others) or original art (of you, or your OC, or something else), drawn, printed on glossy photo paper, and mailed to you with a digital copy. Bidding starts at 10$.
There's also a lot of other shiny things up there. I know both Laylah and Sister_Coyote are offering fic, and there are a lot of interesting other things being offered as well. Please check it out and consider contributing in some way if you can.
