“I just thought you were really butch!”

I haven’t planned a wedding but when people say weird/awkward stuff to me and my boyfriend, we like to act surprised. As if we’re just finding out we’re two dudes ourselves.

Typical anti choicers, they are always taking credit for doing nothing.

A) Birth control is free now.

Social conservatives are just plainly some of the dumbest people on the planet. Every iota of evidence flies in the face of their views, yet their ability to perform the mental gymnastics necessary to confirm their bias is constantly without fail.

With the internet and voyeuristic media abounding, I think this challenges people to ask themselves *why* they seek to validate or judge someone else’s personal experience.
