Up Front: The Up-Front Guides: The…, in reply to Phil Lyth,
I couldn't think how else to put that. I mean, Banks has never made any secret of his feelings, but "officially", there's nothing on record about how he's going to vote. Marriage Equality is privately run, yes, but they're only recording actual statements. It's... an unofficial representation of the official record?

Sorry, gods, I've put that badly. I'm disagreeing not with you, but with that underlying proposition with which I think we are both disagreeing. Because as Russell has said, the squirming on this is quite incredible. Why are they so desperately uncomfortable? Why this level of weasel? Why is John Banks still officially on the "undecided" list?

"We're going to be discussing that in caucus next week, and I'll talk to you afterwards" is a reasonable -- if infuriatingly commonplace -- response
I will respectfully disagree that this is any kind of actual answer to the question "What's your view..." We know what Brendan Horan's view is. He knows we know what his view is. Not stopping smirking for long enough to be up-front about it is... something I feel okay using as the basis for a personal judgement.

Oh man, did we *all* cry reading this post? Hard out.
Yep. First time I've actually cried over this. Previously it was just all a bit too big for tears.

My daughter was just the right age for Maddigan's Fantasia when it came out. And then when she wanted to know if Mahy had written anything else, I could tell her, yeah, all those books you loved when you were little.
I don't think there's a kid who grew up in Chch in the last few decades who didn't have Mahy come and read to them at school.

You're dead to me, Janssen.

I found this, written in chalk on the footpath by the Barbadoes St cemetery this afternoon. Intriguing and lovely.

Yes there is, Mr. Yiannopolous and I really think you know it.
Well, except that, and I really cannot stress this enough, there's actually nothing wrong with having sex for money.

That's certainly in the ballpark. You don't get much gayer than Dan Savage, though.
