unfortunately this country, settled by the Puritans, is moving farther from either of those options. Hell- the wording of some of the proposed state amendments would prevent me from being medical power of attorney for my future partner. And Republicans in several states (including Iowa) have over the past few years proposed legislation that would keep me from being the legal guardian of my nephew if my sister and brother-in-law were to die.
As soon as I'm done with my education I will take a serious look at leaving this country and settling in a place with a better stance on equality and human rights.

It annoys me that the Republican party has allowed itself in many states to be taken over with religious-extremist hicks. That is the case with the Oklahoma Republican party. I'm all about fiscal conservatism, etc. But their social policy is similar to that of the Taliban sometimes.
