"The results of more than a century of anthropological research on households, kinship relationships, and families, across cultures and through time, provide no support whatsoever for the view that either civilization or viable social orders depend upon marriage as an exclusively heterosexual institution. Rather, anthropological research supports the conclusion that a vast array of family types, including families built upon same-sex partnerships, can contribute to stable and humane societies."

Pat showed me this awesome Star Trek: The Next Generation twitter account yesterday. Simply put it’s two sentence plot lines from what could have been the 8th season of TNG. It’s unbelievable. Seriously follow it.
This is gold.
“Wesley returns from a trip to discover that the Enterprise crew has been transformed into pigs. Worf is a mean pig.”
“Picard faces rogue Vulcans who are destroying planets that pose any minor threat. A transporter error turns Barclay into a mattress.”
Wonderful!
