Rainbow Law is Elisia and Carrie Ross-Stone, lesbian civil rights activists, life partners and grandmothers. We own and operate Rainbow Law, an online service offering legal information and free and affordable legal documents for gay and lesbian families.
We also publish RainbowZine (http://www.rainbowzine.com), a progressive LGBTQ newsletter and we Blog at http://RAINBOWbLAWg/.blogspot.com.
In 2003 and 2004, we rode our bicycles across the country to advocate for marriage equality. Lesbian Grandmothers from Mars, a documentary about the ride, premiered at the Gay and Lesbian Film Festival in San Francisco in 2005.
And if all of that is not enoiugh to keep us busy, we are building our own house with our own hands out of recycled materials. The building project is online at http://www.BuiltfromTrash.com.

Friday, September 14, 2007Fighting Hate in Our Community We read with horror the story of Megan Williams, a young Black woman who was beaten, raped and tortured in our home state of West Virginia. As out lesbians, we are aware that a few of our neighbors are bigots -- some more than others. Yet we can barely imagine what could or would motivate such violence. The lesson here is that all of us, regardless of race, religion or sexual orientation, must fight hate right here at home.
Wednesday, September 12, 2007Mad Dogs and Girlie Men If more Americans could find the intestinal fortitude to collectively stand up to GOP pit-bulls, the house of cards they constructed out of claims of superior strength and morality will come crashing down – exposing them as the frightened little tyrants they really are.
Saturday, September 8, 2007Help! Pat Buchanan is Imposing His Marriage on Us! Pat Buchanan says advocates of same-sex marriage are "imposing" our marriages on him -- presumably forcing him to accept our unions as legitimate. As stable, life-long partners with three children and two grandchildren, we resent having to live with Pat Buchanan rubbing our noses in his marriage as we are forced to do without the rights and benefits that our tax dollars provide to him and his wife.
Friday, September 7, 2007Bald-Heads and Other Fetishes Right wing-nuts are more obsessed with sex than Larry Flint. The more extreme the anti-sexual rhetoric -- the more bellicose the protestations -- the more likely we are to discover they have their own hidden and lurid fetishes. In the meantime, LGBTQ people are forced to live our lives without the legal rights and protections of marriage.
Saturday, September 1, 2007Weapons of Total Distraction Lots of juicy and scandalous headlines in the hot and lazy last days of summer. The combination of news and personal activity keep us lulled and unable to hear Bush and Cheney as they bang loudly on the war with Iran drums. We are so accustomed to their lies, propaganda and media manipulation, its as though we are too stunned to do anything but watch helplessly as the bombs fall.
