It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

What's Sally Ann?

bon bon, I found this [link] which discusses the case. It's over year old, though. I have no idea whether or not the site or piece is objective.

It only discusses the allegations, not the actual decisions, but it looked to me that it would answer many people's questions about the case. It doesn't talk about expressive association, however, so I was probably wrong to assume that.

Speaking of things legal, has anyone else looked at this? [link]

(Here's the actual draft)

Apparently the Indiana legislature wants to make it illegal for homosexual or single people to use artificial insemination. 'Cause that's . . . any of their business?

What is even happening?

Heh. I checked to see if ohhellno.com was a website, just for the hell of it. Their 403 error message is sort of demandy.

error 403: Forbidden!

The server understood the request, but is refusing to fulfill it. Authorization will not help and the request SHOULD NOT be repeated.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Sally Ann? Salvation Army. No idea where I got that from.

I keep thinking of Sally Mae, which is a loan program. Sally Ann may have been a nickname for the stores at one time, though.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Awww, that wacky Indiana! They've got a long history with eugenics, actually. The Nazis based their eugenics programs on the early 20th century Indiana laws forbidding miscegenation and allowing for the forcible sterilization of people who had mixed race children.

Indiana! How your roots shine.
