the big unmarriage

[handmade34]

I love Rev. Billy. "...The unwed are also welcome to join the ritual as we declare a moratorium on all weddings until gay weddings are legalized and California Prop 8 is overturned. Marriage is a civil right, unmarriage until gay marriage, no marriage until gay marriage..."

edit to add fine quote from Rev. Billy about Howard Zinn

"Howard Zinn’s death lights up the lives of peace elders, the ones who bring a rush of memory with their strong lives: Edward Said and The Hopi elders and Martin Luther King and Dorothy Day and Oscar Romero and Kurt Vonnegut and Sojourner Truth and Thomas Merton and Abbie Hoffman. Dr. Zinn’s spirit crosses the stage with these heroes, whose actions started from an on-the-ground moral honesty. Their bravery, which dazzles the rest of us – seemed beside the point to them. To them, peace was the job that had to be done.

That kind of life – as John Lennon put it – “is something to be.” My god, you look at Dr. Zinn’s life and there are bold risking-all moves at every turn – off to Viet Nam with Daniel Berrigan, editing the Pentagon Papers with Noam Chomsky, storming the modern media with Amy Goodman and Matt Damon. He can even question the good wars, even the Revolutionary War and WW-2, and give us a primer on how very uprooting our questions need to be, to re-conjure peace"
