Thank you for signal boosting Sarah Brown's link. It definitely needs more coverage. I'm getting pretty annoyed at the blank stares and disbelief every time I point out that same sex marriage is not equal marriage and there are some serious problems with the bill.

Glad to; a friend asked on FB about it, him having heard something but not being aware of the full issues, as well as specific answers from people someone posted that link, and yeah, it seemed worth sticking on the linkshare.

Your link share is the main reason I didn't delete my lj account when I purged all my other social media. :)

Thanks! Glad it's appreciated.

I have to admit I've grown somewhat disconnected from Livejournal myself, I think partly because I now have on FB two of the people I share links from/otherwise significantly read, and LARP + work means I use FB a lot. But the linkshare is no work for me, as it's automated, so it's less of a problem if I'm paying attention to LJ or not.
