save marriage from me

representative boyd from lancaster (a republican of course) is drafting an amendment to the state's constitution that he has kindly dubbed the "pennsylvania marriage protection amendment" (which translates roughly into the "pennsylvania save us from the fucking queers amendment.")

in other states amendments like these have not just made it impossible for queer people to protect their relationships, they've also done lovely things like make it impossible for ANY unmarried people in ohio to seek protection from domestic violence. the amendment in virginia is interfering, to quote an email i recieved yesterday from the center for civil rights, with "the rights of all Virginians to create wills, medical directives, powers of attorney, child custody and property arrangements, and even joint bank accounts."

tell your representatives to stuff this amendment where the sun don't shine.
