Blog Against Theocracy!!!

Day 2 begins with a few of my personal favorites from Day 1 of the Blog Against Theocracy Blogswarm.

This first one is a lighthearted graphic look at our topic. Too much fun!

Next we have a short and sweet personal message from a person of faith:
Sprawling Ramshackle Compound

The Progressive Puppy writes a story of an all too possible future…

I’ve included some of the lighter takes on the theme of the separation of church and state, above.

It’s true, the rant has been knocked out of your favorite desert witch.  As passionate as I am about this topic (and many, many others), I just don’t seem to be able to generate the energy to get too riled up these days.  I should say that it’s not because I’ve “given up” or worse, because I don’t care.  Perhaps it’s because I care too much.  Many of you know that the events, both worldwide and more relevantly in my own personal life, of 2007 pretty much knocked me for a loop (to put it mildy). When I saw that it was time for BAT again I was excited.  I though to myself, “self, you can always get good n riled on this topic!“

Wrong. My message again today and for the duration of this year’s BAT is simply love .  Love that the government has no right to legislate.  Period.

Here in California, in the wake of Prop 8, many of us are still reeling. My partner, the GirlyBoi, and I almost made it in under the wire but our license was pulled at the last minute as the county clerks buckled to the pressure of a proposition of hate, that had not (at the time) even been ratified into California Law yet.

Now it seems that those who managed to marry in the tiny window of legality shall stay married (good for them) while the rest of us are shit out of luck.

I would have NEVER in a million years thought that this would happen in California, the “fruits & nuts” state. If hundreds of thousands of gay couples aren’t argument enough for the separation of church and state, I don’t know what is.

Here are a few of my favorite protest signs for the cause:

So again I say simply:

Don’t be frightened. It’s only love.

Peace, out!
