Jezebel: The after(math)(glow)
My LGBTQWTF marriage equality post, with all the maps, got posted on Jezebel. Congrats to me! Most of the comments are pretty nice, and it’s been retweeted quite a few times, but there’s always the few commenters that criticize and get under your skin and, I think, just completely miss the point.
