At dinner the other night, Em lets out the loudest, rudest gas emission I have ever heard from one so small. When asked if it was her, she replied, "NO! IT WAS MY BUTT!"
HA! Reminds me of something Sarah Silverman would say.
I knew it was coming out day. It may seem like there's not much for us straight people to contribute, however
From Pam at Pandagon:
If you are straight and an ally, COME OUT. Support your gay friends and loved ones when you hear intolerant conversation, politely engage ignorance with information.
For my straight readers:
– are you “out” as an ally?
– are you able to talk about gay friends or relatives with others?
– are you comfortable shooting down homophobes when they spout off during a conversation?
Oh, Aidan. Boy am I on top of things today. Thanks JZ.

I guess sometimes I'm a little too "out"--a colleague at my last university thought I was a lesbian for most of the year because I had said that equal access to marriage was such an important political and personal issue for me and was arguing for it with such vehemence.
Sorry, Deena! I'm stealing wireless at the moment because I haven't hooked up my modem and my connectivity is spotty right now. Yeah--we don't have a diagnosis but they expand the class to parents of kids with Pervasive Development Disorder, too. It teaches parents to better communicate. It's really pretty cool. I bought the book that goes with the course, since I can't take the class because of the move. It's called More Than Words.

Teppy, I am in awe of your dad. The fact that he's still going to rake leaves this weekend cracks me up.
I want to call Teppy's dad's heart "Timex."
DH just called profusely apologizing for his lateness. Don't apologize, just get your ass home. I'm climbing the walls here!
Tep, your dad is a hilarious Man Of Steel. Dayum.

Straight-ish, in a het relationship, very much an ally.
It is personal to me Mariage Equality=Equal Mariages.

Greatest honor of my life? I was the first family member my baby brother came out to, lo these many years ago.
I want to call Teppy's dad's heart "Timex."
And now I'm picturing her dad as a bit of human Samsonite, rugged and durable and sturdily unharmed as a gorilla jumps up and down on him.
