However, a boycott needs to be a structured event, not something that is "willy-nilly." As it stands now, almost half of our states would be under boycott. I think it is great when conferences, meetings, trainings, and other events can be pushed out of anti-gay states into pro-gay equality states. The problem is that our national organizations are falling flat on their faces when it comes to boycotts.
BTW, I have lived in Virginia, so I am aware of the issues there, though that was in the mid-80s when I was in HS. It is one of the states I keep an eye on. And DC, hell, let's be honest, that can be scary for anyone at this point! Since we are in Oklahoma, we don't have many neighboring states that differ from our own in relations to GLBT issues.
I know how you feel about being lucky, my partner and I have been together for almost 12 years and I found him right here in Oklahoma! It is such a comfort to have someone in your life. Oh, and I know about the "back of beyond", I am in Oklahoma after all. Gay Jew...yeah, lots of fun! LOL!
Oh, and I can't say it will be a success, but you can pop over to Ancient Wisdom and Pagan Spirituality and see if anyone there might know of a distributor for Celtic wedding rings. It is worth a spin!
