So disdainful! Heh.
Just updating with a couple little things. First, my sis-in-law had surgery today - a tubal, yay! I took her to the hospital and sat with her and we bitched about politics and life in general and whatnot, and had a good time, and i took her home sore but happy, so all good.
She also handed me a stack of mail from *last December* that had been at her house all this time, so guess what i got?
XMAS CARDS! Hehe. Sheesh. So that's why a couple/three of you never got a 'thank you' - i never got them! Ah well. :)
Also? Second Sweet Charity fic nearly done! Timestamp for Treadmill, yay!
The other thing is why the disdain. I am so angry on behalf of two people, gods. Makes my stomach hurt a little. You all know - or most of you know, i guess - Cat is a tattooist. Right now most of his clients are military, being as we live right outside a base.
So this past week he did a cover up on a woman. She had the two interlocked female symbols and had to have them hidden or no promotions for her! Which sucks. But! The suckier part. She's got a partner. They got tattoos together that symbolize *them*. Her partner is going to Iraq. After that, they'll both be reassigned. But since you 'can't ask' and 'can't tell' in the military, they can't ask for the same duty station. Because their love isn't recognized, and if they were legally married? Their branch of the military doesn't care.
They might be assigned to separate posts with a whole country between them. In fact, odds are, they *will be* separated. And stating that their together, in love, partners? Gets them both tossed.
This has got to end, people. It has *got to end*.
*no, i have no grand plan or anything. just...pain on their behalf, and fury, and disgust, and disdain for all those bigots who are making these women's lives a living hell*
