mermaiden: (Our Family - Wedding - Kiss)

I've been working on this post on and off for a few weeks, now, and am very happy to share it with you today. :)

How the Queer Rise: A Manifesto at Muse Rising.



When they tell you it gets better, it comes with a postscript: make it better.

Life can be fucked up, and being gay/queer/bi/trans/poly can mean that sharing the truth can cost you a friend or familial heartstring. But for every person who goes out of your life for love, there is another who will love you unconditionally. Forgive the person who left you (if you can). Cherish the one who stayed/came/celebrated.

All of the older ladies and gentlemen who have deep issue with the hoe-mo-sex-uals will be dead in a couple of years anyway. Look to the younger generation who supports gay marriage and believes deeply in our inherent humanity.

mermaiden: (*  Love)
*sings*

We have been WEDDING FAIRIES all evening, and accomplished so much! We finished designing the wedding invitations, and if it prints right, will hopefully get them out by the end of the week (we are fashionably late--and as ever, on Lesbian Standard Time in this ;D), finalized the guest list, finalized the bridal shower list (it'll be such a small, happy party--I can't wait!), started writing/planning/going over the ceremony...but we kept dissolving into tears of love, so we had to stop. ;-; We cried all during our handfasting and then wedding last time...combining the two are SURE SIGNS OF OCEANS OF TEARS. I am WARNING YOU. There was this part of "I will love you far longer than forever" that I was reading Jenn aloud from our old wedding vows just now (we're doing a merging of our old ceremony and many new things), and I just broke down and clung to her for awhile. ;-;

Goddamn, I love this woman so fucking much. ;-;

I'm getting weepy again. HAPPY TEARS. :D

DIVERSION TACTIC--DO YOU WANT TO SEE MY SHOES? OF COURSE YOU DO.

How you tell it's a lesbian wedding: if one of the bride's shoes has unicorns on it.

Croc's Kadee style shoes in black are my most beloved belongings in the world, so my wedding shoes are going to be the Kadee's in LESBIAN LEOPARD PRINT.


With UNICORNS ON THEM. And also sparkly heart Jibbitz. Because the wedding is obviously not sparkly enough without more sparkle.



(The unicorns are going on the outside of the shoe, and the heart on the second hole in from the outside. :D)

I wore my last wedding's shoes until they had holes in them, I loved them so much--I know a lot of people get fancy shoes that they will only wear once, but I really enjoy reusing and repurposing things, and feel it's best for me to get a pair of shoes I'll wear and love until they get holes in them again. :D /EndEarthLovingHippiePaganLesbianSpeech
