I subscribe to Bob Mould's newsletter; I've been a fan of his group and solo work for 20 years. I thought this was interesting and might cause people to think a bit, that's why I posted it here.

Polygamy? There is no mention of that. I do not support that. Nor do I believe religious customs should take precedence over the rules of society.

I do, however, fully support legal, gay marriages. We are talking about human beings here. There is no reason a person should be denied something like, say health care, simply because a union is not recognized by the state, and thus someone can not be claimed as a dependent on another's health care plan. Especially in the USA, a country which could afford to solve many of its societal ills (no, homosexuality is not one of them) with a more-even distribution of the wealth of this nation. Call my idealistic.

Treating love with cruelty and not celebration is unfathomable to me. My two cents.

Reporting from my feminine soul,
