Surfing around on the internet, as usual. I've somehow been reminded of the gay marriage debate we had in sociology last year, and pulled off one of the articles that I found that "denounces" gay marriage as part of the slippery slope to polygamy and polyamory. This article, in my opinion, is total bullshit, and just goes to show how paraniod and narrowminded people can be. It made me sick to realize that people actually believe this kind of stuff, but also gave me a good laugh as the reasoning that they used here is impossible to prove true, and just as easy to prove false.

For your information, the reasoning that they used here is called the "slippery slope" reason. It's basically saying that gay marriage will lead to this, which will lead to this, etc, etc. This is a FUNDAMENTALLY unsafe and shoddy form of arguement since it is IMPOSSIBLE to prove that such events will happen.

In case anyone hasn't realized it yet, I am in full support of gay marriage, since not being would be hypocritical. Please don't take this article seriously, The Weekly Advocate is a very conservative magazine, one that I detest. I'm just posting this because I think that people need to know how some people see gay marriage, and that (sadly), people like this are still out here, and often are the reason why homophobia is the number one hate crime in America.

Another annoying reason why we don't have equality

I've actually studied today! I feel so proud of myself.

I need some feedback from my fic-writing friends. I've been chasing around a couple of plot bunnies lately, and want to know what you all think.

Both stories are Vam, fyi.

Plotbunnie #1: Inspired by Breaking Benjamin's song So Cold, and the subsequent video. Set in a early america AU, kinda puritan-ish. If you know what puritans were like, it explains a lot. The story starts off at the last day of Bam's trial. He's been charged with sodomy and rape of one Ville Valo. Is already pretty much considered guilty by everyone, and the trial is just for posterity's sake, etc, etc. Reveal in flashbacks (or something similiar) that Bam is an outsider to the small religious community, taken in by relatives after his parents die. grew up in a society that "tolerated" homosexuality, and was rather secular, and had to conform to strict, afterlife centered new society, etc. (you get the idea). He and Ville fell in love (o'course), had a relationship, were found out. cause Bam's the newcomer, older (it's AU), general scapegoat, and since most people don't like him, he has to be punished so that Ville will become free of his sin (i hope you know what kind of punishment i mean. ritual murder. I'd be taking the final scene directly form the video, so go see it or something if you don't know what I'm talking about. or just ask me, I'll explain it in detail). Deathfic, angst, etc.


Plotbunnie #2: What do you mean, ociffer? There's no blood in my alcohol! Title pretty much sums it up. Humor, lots of my two favorite boys getting drunk and having a major run in with the law. Not quite sure about this one, since I just got the idea tonight. I'm still struggling with having more then a one-sentence plot, and am not sure whether to make it smut, humor, etc. Any ideas on this would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for those who give feedback. I will give you cookies and vodka.
