10-Year-Old Won't Pledge Allegiance To A Country That Discriminates Against Gays
“I’ve always tried to analyze things because I want to be lawyer,” Will said. “I really don’t feel that there’s currently liberty and justice for all.”
After asking his parents whether it was against the law not to stand for the pledge, Will decided to do something. On Monday, Oct. 5, when the other kids in his class stood up to recite the pledge of allegiance, he remained sitting down. The class had a substitute teacher that week, a retired educator from the district, who knew Will’s mother and grandmother. Though the substitute tried to make him stand up, he respectfully refused. He did it again the next day, and the next day. -

Chart of the Day: “Explicit Support for Same-Sex Marriage by State and Age” (pdf) by Jeff Lax and Justin Phillips of the Department of Political Science at Columbia University. Created using data collected for a joint paper on gay rights.
Prof. Lax breaks it down:
Seven states cross the 50% mark overall as of our current estimates, but the generation gap is huge. If policy were set by state-by-state majorities of those 65 or older, none would allow same-sex marriage. If policy were set by those under 30, only 12 states would not allow-same-sex marriage.

pat we need your brains back
pat we need your fire
and your imagination
pat we know you fucked up
but we don’t care you fucked up
everybody’s fucked up
thought I heard your voice
the other night
and sure enough it came
from you
thought I’d be surprised
that you weren’t dead
but all I was was glad
just sitting by your bed
and talking to your head
and hearing what you said
as if you’d never left
can’t you see yourself yet
can’t you see through our eyes
can’t you see the truth
nothing’s worse than never
falling in a dream’s where
we can see together
saw you the other night
have to say
something wasn’t right
of course
but I didn’t mind
cuz seeing you
being all alive
just walkin in the room
made me so relieved
like everything was fine
and you had never died
or second guessed your mind
or gave up on our trust
thought you’d gone too far
for us to take you back
but distances like that, pat
don’t exist in fact
