Happy Constitution Day! Here are a few issues that involve the Constitution today:
* Bradley Manning is being detained for whistleblowing -- giving Pentagon videos and documents to Wikileaks.
* The Dream Act comes up for a vote soon. This act deals with children who, at a young age, came with their parents to America illegally and grew up as Americans, yet who are still illegal.
* The Don't Ask, Don't Tell policy has been declared unconstitutional yet is still in force.
* The Patriot Act gets renewed sometime (I don't know how soon).
I've written before how the Fundies don't like adoption and are taking it out on gays. In another attempt at reproduction control Fundies are speaking out against sperm donors and are beginning to try to pass laws regulating or banning the practice. They work real hard not to say it, but it's no coincidence that gays and lesbians tend to have children through sperm donation. Once laws are on the books to regulate sperm and eggs it isn't that far to regulate what sperm and eggs create.
Three gay "warrior angels" lined the route the pope took through northern England today. They were there quietly protesting his anti-gay pronouncements. I love their, um, … wings.
