Just Say No

In response to the state of Maine voting down gay marriage, Zack from TheNewGay.net caught up with the Hidden Cameras and got them to perform their 2004 song "Ban Marriage". The thought is, if gay people can't get married maybe nobody should be able to get married.

Personally, I think there are a lot of bigger and more important issues than gay (or straight) marriage in this country and that marriage is an antiquated religious rite and property ownership formality.  Besides that, I kind of like that marriage is one less boring thing gay people have to deal with...BUT... I do realize that it's important to a lot of people and there are logistical things like tax breaks and hospital visits (and whatever) that come up that we shouldn't be denied. Either way, joke or not, I'm on board with the Hidden Cameras' idea to just ban marriage altogether.

Here's the video of the Hidden Cameras singing their song (along with former member/solo artist Gentleman Reg) and check out The New Gay for other gay stuffs.

Thanks Zack!

Prop 8, Robyn, and Royksopp

Everyone has their own views about gay marriage, and the contributors to Young Creature are no different. Me? I believe in radical marriage. I don't think that matrimony has to be an inherently patriarchial institution, and that traditions are what you make them. I also think it's important that queer people are recognized legally as people, and that our relationships, no matter how we form them, are protected against bigots by the law.
So, as an anti-assimilationist dyke bitch and a lady who also wants to get hitched some day, I'm totally totally psyched that the California Supreme Court has announced that it will announce their decision on Prop 8 on Tuesday, May 26th!!

Love it, hate it, don't care one bit, or whatever, nobody can say that Tuesday won't be a big day for queer history. Bring it, California! And seriously, Cali, let's have a little talk here. If you become a state where you can buy pot very important medical necessities in a store AND get gay married (bonus points for drive-thru chapels), get ready for some serious new residency in the form of this Creature.



To take it down a notch - check out Röyksopp's new video featuring Robyn for "The Girl and The Robot". I adore Robyn, but she's a little like Ludacris in the way that she is so much better on other people's songs than her own (see: With Every Heartbeat)

She's totally gone high femme for this video, a huge departure from her usual androgynous attire. Robyn, I wonder about you (you're obviously a huge lez... right? or at least bisexual, and not in a Fergie way). This video is totally crazy. I'm not sure what I don't understand more... you going drag on us, or the ending of this video. Either way, the song is ammmaaazzziinnnnggggg. I can't wait to hear the remixes, because this song should totally be about six minutes longer!
