Don't Ask Don't Tell
daveholmes:
This is a great day. It really is. But I have to say I’m getting a little tired of busting with pride when the United States of America joins the world.
Caring about women doesn’t make me a man-hater. Caring about the rights and welfare of minorities doesn’t mean I don’t care about the rights and welfare of the majority.

No snow here on the California coast, but imagery like this puts me in a wintry state of mind…and if you haven’t immersed yourself in Kirsty Mitchell’s Wonderland series yet, you’re missing out. ;)

Why I Refuse to Apologize Anymore
Because no one has ever apologized to me for pressing the unsolicited burden of their faith upon my day. I have bit my tongue and politely declined to subscribe to the stories, I have smiled as I shut the door, so freely knocked-on during my rare idle and quiet morning hours. I have voted diligently, in the interest of the greater good with no guidance but my own critically-thinking mind and...
