Hey, Look: Pointing Fingers To Cool Stuff Again

In an ever-present sweep of blogs, I've found several posts I'd like to point you toward. All of these have to do with homosexuals, gay marriage, and the gender issue, so if you don't like reading about these topics, don't click.

First, a self-declaration by one of my dear friends. She and I have has several discussions on the topic, and I really like the direction she takes here.

Second, a very long and very skimmable essay by someone named Jane. Don't be confused; the person who has posted this essay is not the author. It's fascinating because of its links to history and to economics, which apparently are the influences of a libertarian.

Third, another fascinating discussion brought on by a frank question. She's an intellectual who posts regularly with a very advanced vocabulary, she works in the field of women's history, and she usually refers to her significant other as "my partner". The comments that follow this frank question are just cool.

And finally, an interesting concept.
