Federal Judge Walker lifts temporary stay on same-sex marriages put in place after California ruling. Gay marriages may legally resume on Wednesday of next week.
"'Proposition 8 fails to advance any rational basis in singling out gay men and lesbians for denial of a marriage license. Indeed, the evidence shows Proposition 8 does nothing more than enshrine in the California Constitution the notion that opposite-sex couples are superior to same-sex couples,' Walker, who was appointed to the federal bench by former President Ronald Reagan, wrote in his opinion last week.
'Race restrictions on marital partners were once common in most states but are now seen as archaic, shameful or even bizarre,' he added. 'Gender no longer forms an essential part of marriage; marriage under law is a union of equals.'"

That is all.
Shrug. The whole idea was that you never see her anyways. So ~ I guess that's understandable. But she was definitely my childhood hero, her, and Lucca. (Chrono Trigger) No wonder I'm *** up, now.
I've come to realize 2 things...
1) My friends are leaving 11 and not turning back.
2) I don't think I'll be able to join them in 14 until they're way ahead into the game. (assuming I can even join)

A lot of my friends are adamant about sticking to 11. Only thing is I'm horribly unprepared for all the upcoming level cap increases. I barely skated by on this one.

I can't force myself to be interested in FFXIV, so that means I probably shouldn't play it even though a lot of my RL friends want to (and have been trying to convince me to play).
I'm not really prepared for a level cap increase either. I just got used to 80.
Sigh ~ Has been a rough night. I spent all evening out doing errands with/for my family, helping them keep busy, etc. - because we took our cat to the vet and had her put down for fear her condition would worsen very soon, and it was already bad. We did, however plant her this awesome camellia bush, so I'm really happy about that.
Do I go to sleep early, or do I try to level WHM. I'm not even sure I'm tired.
Just curious to see how many of us actually play FFXI. **Now, let's try to keep this clean, please don't respond if you have nothing nice to say.** :] Don't be shy, speak up! :D
EDIT: You don't have to be gay to post in here, if you want to be apart of our conversations.. feel free to join in! Don't be shy, we don't bite.. well some of us do! :] Anyyyyyways~! This thread has become a home to many from the LGBT community & even some from the straight community who are open minded and enjoy chit-chatting with us, :] so let's keep it drama free, we deserve a place where we can be ourselves without being made fun of/harassed.
