What's in a Name? (Hint: A Whole Political Platform!)

Monday, March 31. 2008

Last night, as I was watching a recent edition of CBS News on Logo I could not believe the news of an Idaho Strawberry farmer who changed his name to Pro-Life (yes, that's his full, and only name.) Formerly named Marvin Pro-Life Richardson is running for the Senate seat held by Larry Craig and wanted to make sure that the ballot would clearly reflect his platform. You can read the full article on CBS News online.

So, as I enthusiastically ponder on the easiness of changing one's name in this country, any suggestions on how I could best communicate my support of marriage equality?

A commenter to one of my posts here on Big Queer pointed out to me that I should be sure to use the term "Marriage Equality" rather than queer marriage or some other form since we don't want any different sort of marriage but just for our relationships to be treated equally.

I will edit my post to reflect Marriage Equality - thank you for pointing that out! And I love the name suggested
