The Shipping News: Good Omens for Slash Fans and Exploring Genderswaps
People were changing their user pictures, post limits were being hit. No Misha-punches were pulled. It was a sight to behold.
It s entirely possible that you re now unable to stop seeing Misha when you close your eyes. Hang in there; you will eventually recover. If you re one of those people still cackling gleefully at the memory of that day, then I m sorry to say that the cure for Misha is still, as of yet, unknown. (source) The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones full trailer is out.
There s a whole two seconds of Magnus Bane , whoopee! Alec says a line! It s woefully little for any Malec shippers, though I suppose only time will tell what s to become of the Malec pairing on the movieverse.
Sterek fans can t be stopped! The Sterek Campaign (and consequently, slash shipping) have been gaining notoriety everywhere lately. Zap2it recently posted an article lauding the efforts of Sterek fans who have raised a record amount for Wolf Haven International.
John Barrowman and Colton Haynes appear to be having a ridiculous amount of fun filming Arrow , making the rest of us extremely envious. (source) Destiel has made it to the final four of another shipping poll! ( Sterek lost to Barney & Robin from HIMYM , but it's kind of hard to compete with Neil Patrick Harris .) This one closes at the end of the day on Monday, April 8th, so head over to Zimbio's March Madness Challenge to help Dean and Cas through this semi-final round! Fandom Dictionary: Slash Goggles Many people find that once they start thinking about the possibility of slash and various slash couples, it becomes easier to read into the subtext of future series and see the potential of other slash pairings. Once this starts, some of your friends might accuse you of seeing slash everywhere and have to repeatedly tell you to calm down after a dramatic homoerotic scene (e.g.
he touched his shoulder, HE TOUCHED HIS SHOULDER). If you notice this happening, it may mean that you have put on your slash goggles . (source) When viewing movies or television shows while wearing your slash goggles, it become incredibly easy to see the potential for slash romances everywhere. Gender is no longer an obstacle.
You envision a world where couples get together based on their sterling chemistry, character-building interactions and possibly their relative attractiveness. Despite what outsiders may think, this doesn t mean you re blind to all het or lesbian couples out there they re goggles , okay, not blindfolds, and everyone gets their own custom-made pair. Shipping becomes easy, and fun, and so what if you see it everywhere?
People see heterosexual pairings everywhere, and they don t even have to squint.
So go forth, slash goggles in place, and ship whatever you like, for even the tiniest reason!
Interesting things can happen when you re-watch old favorites with your slash goggles on Continue reading

Irish Bishops To "Boycott" Weddings Over Gay Marriage
US: Orange County Representative plants rainbow flag at Congress to support equal marriage
Proposition 8 and the Defense of Marriage Act are oppressive and regressive policies that label a large group of my constituents as second-class citizens and deny hardworking Americans the freedom to love and marry whomever they choose It should not take a Supreme Court justice to prove that love is love. He went on to say that he thought it might have been the first time the gay pride flag had been posted outside a member of Congress office in Washington, reports OC Register. I am honored to be the first and I am certain I will not be the last, he said.
Each congressional office has space for three flags, a US and state flag, and a third chosen by the lawmaker. Representative Lowenthal has also hung the pride flag outside his district office at Long Beach. The Supreme Court will also on Wednesday begin to consider an appeal against The Defense of Marriage Act, urged on by President Obama and even Bill Clinton, the former President who signed DOMA into US law.
Two Democratic Senators came out in support of same-sex marriage ahead of the Supreme Court s hearings on the subject.

The former US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, officially announced her support for equal marriage in a moving speech last week in which she called moves towards equality breathtaking and inspiring .
