And the winner was… Love
For a few days, I have been playing with blog ideas in my head. I was asking myself how I could write about Same-Sex marriage, Prop 1 in Maine, Prop 8 in California, and the fact that even though I am married, I still feel like my union is not the same as other people’s. [...]

Love Will Conquer Hate
The Ministry of Magic had to enforce Muggle Protection Acts to prevent the killing and torturing of Muggles by wizards, but at the same time, they would pass laws that made it harder for Lupin, a werewolf, to find job. Once again, the similarities between the Harry Potter world and ‘the real’ world become more [...]

I imagine the differences in the Andromeda/Ted and Narcissa/Lucius weddings. The latter one was probably fancy, with lots of [...]

It's not over yet.
In California, Florida and Arizona, voters passed measures that will amend their states’ constitutions to deny me, my partner and millions of others the right to get married—a step that many of us take in our pursuit of happiness. I’m disappointed, sad and angered at the result, but I am also very proud of everyone’s [...]
