I am getting married this Christmas. Yep, I am one of those conformist gays who want desperately to blend in and lose my unique queer mentality for the sake of gay rights.
I can disappear once I have that wedding ring on my finger. And I want everyone to be just like me.
Lighten up, people! Of course, everyone is entitled to his or her own opinion.
Queer individuality is a part of all of us, no matter what we believe about marriage, whether it is for you or not.
My partner and I are going to Montreal to marry because the attorney general of New York State and the mayor and comptroller of New York City have stated that they will honor our marriage.
How? They have said that if marriages of same-sex couples are validly performed in jurisdictions where those marriages are legal, then for the purposes of state and city law, that marriage will be honored.
While certainly not a guarantee of full equality, it is the closest that Gary and I will come to having our relationship protected by the state. We may have to go to court to fight for some aspect of that recognition, but why shouldn’t our relationship have that protection? Why shouldn’t we fight for that protection?
I work with a guy who is getting married this summer. We commiserate about how miserably expensive a wedding is. We talk about florists and DJs and reception halls.
We will probably huny moon in hawaii, come join us!
gay pride!!
