Two Spirits are Better Than None, Mr. Romney

Two Spirit people... sacred

I’ve been having some “spirited discussions” lately with some acquaintances on Facebook – friends of mine who, inexplicably, without warning, somehow, somewhere along the way, turned into great, flaming Republicans without my noticing. Somewhere along the way, these otherwise normal, reasonable, rational people lost their minds. Somewhere along the way, they came to the conclusion that decisions about women’s health care should be made, not by the women in question, but by old, white men who – not only do not actually possess vaginas of their own – I seriously doubt they have access to anyone else’s vaginas, either. But, we can let that be an issue for another day. The one that bothers me most – even more than the whole vagina brouhaha (which is a little surprising, given the fact that I’m straight, AND I seem to remember having a vagina at one point… I’m pretty sure it’s still around here someplace…) – the really Big Ticket item for me is the Defense of Marriage/Marriage Equality debate.
