In times of old, The Furies protected Mother Right. If a mother (or any woman) was harmed, The Furies swooped down and took their vengeance. They were one of the last vestiges of a world that existed before the patriarchy. When we feel righteous anger, it is The Furies who are calling out to us to make what is wrong right again.

U.S. Sides With Iran in Anti-Gay Vote 

Why isn't this everywhere? Or am I just out of it? I haven't heard this on NPR, haven't seen this in the NYTimes, etc. Once again this administration shows that it hates pretty much everyone except rich white people. What am I talking about? "On Monday the United States backed an Iranian initiative to deny United Nations consultative status to organizations working to protect the rights of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people." Isn't that special. So the United States won't allow any money given to NGOs that talk about birth control or abortion and now this. Isn't it great that we live in a country whose officials are actively working to suppress the rights of people worldwide instead of working to protect them. It's really sad. And outrageous.

You may already know this, but Iran also pubicly put two gay teenagers to death last summer...and the administration said nothing.

Thanks, Travis. I did a short post on it last fall. Really sad and outrageous.
