Yay, Iowa! (Iowa Court Says Gay Marriage Ban Is Unconstitutional) (With thanks to half my Friendslist. :D) (Check out some excerpts! Courtesy ckd.)

Boo, Massachusetts!("Massachusetts state representative Kathi-Anne Reinstein has introduced a bill making it a crime for anyone over 60 to pose nude or sexually for a film or photo. The person taking the photo—whether a lover, artist, or commercial porn maker—would also face jail time.") (With thanks to halleyscomet, who has much more info at the link.)

And what if their partner is also over 60? um......

We live in a country where teenagers who take nude photos of themselves end up jailed for producing kiddie porn. I suspect both partners would get to spend the next 10 to 20 years in jail if they were both over 60.

I wonder if it stacks. What if a partner is disabled AND over 60? Would that result in two charges with a total of 20 to 40 years?

Of course not! Nobody is over 60 AND disabled.

That'd be like saying someone's black AND queer.

I mean, c'mon, it just doesn't happen.

I guess thorbol and I could live with it if they gave us the same jail cell. Of course then we'd accumulate multiple offenses.
