Ah, marriage inequality. This disparity in civil rights very rarely enters my consciousness, but when it does, I find it hard to resist being bitter toward my straight compatriots. Since there isn't too much I can do about this issue on a national level, I instead fight the good fight in small ways, such as by making things awkward for those who have the nerve to do something that I legally cannot do myself.

Take, for instance, the recent wedding of a female coworker to her boyfriend. In anticipation of the ceremony, a congratulatory card was passed around the office for everyone to sign. Most people wrote something along the lines of "Enjoy your big day!"

I wrote, "Congrats on getting married - sure must be nice!"

Well, the truth is I didn't actually write that, but the thought of doing so came to my head, which is sad. It's not fun to be bitter when others are rightfully happy. (The story of my life!)

That said, I very rarely explore politics on this blog because I almost never know what I'm talking about. But when it comes to the fight for marriage equality, I'll gladly do what I can to raise a little bit of awareness.

Tuesday was the 40th anniversary of Loving vs. Virginia, the historic Supreme Court case from 1967 that removed prohibitions against interracial marriages. In an effort to educate the community, a national GLBT organization, Freedom to Marry, has launched this provocative advertising campaign, which you should definitely check out and share with your friends.

And thus concludes this Vividblurry PSA.
