I never put it together that Susan Sontag and Annie Leibovitz were partners, but what Leibovitz is going through is astounding. Yet, it's representative of what gay people endure in this country; in this case, it's happening to an amazing artist.
Tell me again how people cannot see the denial of marriage equality as legalized discrimination?
A related sidenote: some friends of ours have been more vocal than usual lately about their support of the whole "one man one woman" crap. Considering that we were all in band for a large part of our lives and, as a result, know so many people who are gay, I'm just a little dumbfounded that their hearts are still so hard. How does it feel to regard your "friend" as deviant? How do you sleep at night knowing that you tell someone they're your friend, and yet support discrimination against them? I just don't get it. And, of course, they're "Christian." Whatev.

amen, sista!
when susan sontag died, of course there was collective city-wide mourning in nyc and ny-based media. annie leb photographed her decline, and it was exhibited shortly after ss's death. i didn't see it (in person), but apparently they had a very deep & loving relationship (and children who AL is now raising.) i didn't realize they were together either until her death... two amazingly strong forces, those women. great vision & intellect.
