I suspect that if I grew up in NYC with a name like "Tony Baloney", I might not have much of a sense of humor either... but I don't think I'd go so far as to mace nonviolent/penned female protesters. (The Atlantic has a really gruesome slow-motion annotated version of the video that I can't recommend simply because it's so so horrifying. The implications are ugly enough on their own.)

And it doesn't help that Southwest Airlines seems to think that same-sex affection is not ok (they get to police passengers' size/weight, wardrobe, and kissing partners? guess who I'm not flying!)...


I'm not sure what all else I'm pissed off about this evening... but this might well be enough. (to last me for the next two weeks.)

NOM and their allies, hateful people promoting "gay panic" and rather extreme measures to prevent equality in marriage rights, are fundraising for Carly Fiorina's run for a California Senate seat. Quote from an email from the Courage Campaign folks:

Carly Fiorina's right-wing record is about as bad as it gets, especially in California:

Fiorina supports SB 1070 -- Arizona's bigoted, anti-immigrant law.

Fiorina opposes marriage equality.

Fiorina opposes a woman's right to control her own body.

Fiorina opposes extending unemployment benefits.




argh. I have no words. As if a ringing endorsement from Sarah Palin wasn't bad enough...

*aarrrgggghhhhh*
