Connecticut now has same-sex civil unions! Yay!

Unfortunately, the Texas house passed a ban on gay foster parents -- not to mention the poor transsexuals, who get lumped in here for no reason I can figure -- and Microsoft pulled its support for a gay rights bill. But hey, accentuate the positive.

(Thanks to liberalrage for the first and last links, and many, many folks for the second).

An article on the new exercise recommendations, and the relationship between exercise, weight, and health. Among other things, it mentions that physically fit obese people have much lower death rates than physically unfit normal weight people. Also, people who are overweight but not obese have lower health risk than normal weight. Not that that helps me, but it does explain the folk wisdom that a little extra weight is healthy.

As important as the rights are, this is not yet equality.

*sigh* I'm just happy to be moving to Massachusetts, where my marriage will be completely legal!

The weight stuff is interesting -- I think as in all things, humans should seek a happy medium, neither anorexic nor obese, but somewhere in the middle, pleasingly plump.

Yay for Massachusetts! Still, it's a big step towards equality, and I'll take it. Or I would if I were in CT, and, you know, married.
