My BF sent me this pertinent article on the new California same-sex marriage laws. It's a personal issue for me, because two weeks ago, my aunts got married for the second time. They went up to SF in 04, then the laws changed and they got "un-married," So this summer they got married again, but if this measure that will be on the Nov. ballet passes, I'm guessing that history will repeat itself.
Just imagine getting married, and then being told that your marriage is no longer valid. Well, honestly I can't imagine it, but I hear that it's an awful experience to go through. So I'm getting political again, and planting the seed.
For those of you in California, please vote on the side of love.

Ru Stuff
What's a Ru?
Ru is a shortened form of the word Guru. It was initially a derogatory term, coined by the "townies" of Fairfield Iowa, and used to refer the members of the Transcendental Meditation community. It has since been taken on by Rues, particularly second generation Rues, like me, as a way to describe ourselves. It has come to mean a person who practices TM and participates in the TM Movement, regardless of where they live. See Ru Stuff links for more info.
