Mary Robinette Kowal: Love is love. It's only political when you decide to regulate it based on hate.

Love is love. It's only political when you decide to regulate it based on hate.

Oh cool! I'll go inform my non-white partner our relationship is definitely not political.

Absolutely not. I mean other people are 100% going to make it political.

It is HELLA political, Mary.

Okay. Let me back up and say that I'm sorry. I do understand that being in a mixed race marriage in the United States is a constant political act. I don't think it should be. I think people ought to be able to love whoever they want. I think the people who try to interfere are acting from hate

Politics isn't just left-right, Dems vs Repubs, antifa vs fash. Politics concerns the distribution of power and since we do not and never will live in a perfectly equal society, politics permeates every aspect of our lives, even those we'd like to believe are pure and above it.

I completely agree.

I appreciate the point you are making about the people interfering in same-gender relationships, though, it's well made.
