Good news!

'Gay men and lesbians are to be given the same right to marry as heterosexual couples under marriage law reforms expected to be announced this week.'
(From the front page of The Sunday Times.)

We've had civil partnerships since 2004, of course, but it's not quite the same...

A) This is incredibly good news! I know it shouldn't be news, it shouldn't be necessary, but it is, and it is, and it's fantastic!

Now if we could only win the damned war over here.

Also, My Little Pony Jack and Ianto - My Little Pony anything, frankly - is surely an advance warning of the apocalypse. Heh.

You said it.

You'll get there in the end. Sadly though, these things just take time. :(

Hey! That's my childhood you're talking about! *hugs ponies tightly* (Although I'm now remembering that there was one called 'Apple Jack' and am thinking that really they ought to have used that for pony!Jack...)

Ah, you see, now I feel extremely old. I was headed to college, I think, by the time My Little Ponies became a thundering toy-store herd.

It may also be because I firmly believe that horses (and octopi - ever notice how they share similar sideways-built pupil eyeball architecture?) are alien.

I was... eight the first time I saw them, I think. And fell in love instantly. *g*

Alien horses? Hmmm. Interesting. I'd like to see what an equine spaceship looks like!
