Ranting is love

I'm getting pretty sick of all the variations on the rainbow "this is love" banners. The original message means a lot to me, is a cause I will take direct action to support, and if you know me, it takes a LOT to inspire me to activism. I think that making anything and everything into a rainbow banner cheapens the original, dulling the call for equal marriage.

So rar.

It bugs me too when people ignore related issues in favor of just one issue. I am interested in a lot of "family" issues domestic abuse, single parenthood, accidental pregnancy leading to unwanted children and/or marriages (and related abortion/birth control/sex ed issues), child support enforcement, etc. On the other hand, the gay marriage thing should be able to be fixed so much more easily than the others.
