I registered for BloggerCon II this morning. The list of registrations is pretty cool; there are a number of people there who I look forward to meeting. David Pinto is conspiring to baseball blog, which sounds fun to me. Wouldn’t mind shaking hands with Oliver Willis at all. And the eponymous TPB, Esq. will be there — one of two people on my blogroll who I’d read for the quality of their prose alone. I’m starting to look forward to this.

This shouldn’t come as any big surprise, but the world’s largest anthropological society says that civilization does not in fact depend on limiting marriage to one man and one woman.

The results of more than a century of anthropological research on households, kinship relationships, and families, across cultures and through time, provide no support whatsoever for the view that either civilization or viable social orders depend upon marriage as an exclusively heterosexual institution. Rather, anthropological research supports the conclusion that a vast array of family types, including families built upon same-sex partnerships, can contribute to stable and humane societies.

The Executive Board of the American Anthropological Association strongly opposes a constitutional amendment limiting marriage to heterosexual couples.

So maybe we can drop that line of attack on gay marriage? Nah, didn’t think so.

This article on Kerry’s defense votes is just something I want to have handy for later.
