Phew! Good thing they're getting themselves wedlocked, in that case!
This is what I'm saying. I don't know why they couldn't have made honest women of each other
before
the baby was born.... oh, right. Yeah I do.
I swear, for the past several years I've been glad to be from Massachusetts, so I can get gay-married in my home town. To a man, presumably, but still.
I never understood the hatred Judas either. I mean for Jesus to have died for our sins in the manner that he did, someone needed to betray him. Shouldn't we be happy that Judas did, otherwise-- no resurrection, which is pretty much the foundation of the Christian Church?
And the whole "Jews killed Jesus!" idiotic thing. Aside from it being the Romans, isn't the crucifixion the whole basis of the religion?!?!? Fulfilling prophecy and shit??
But I often joke that I wouldn't mind surgery to be a few inches shorter.
You don't just have educated white American male privilege, you have educated TALL white American male privilege.
God, my head is dizzy with work and notes and work and notes and phone numbers and more notes.
Getting much more used to handwriting, though.
All the weddings are making me weepy. Especially little old people getting married.
I know! Between Phyl and Del (OMG I AM LONGTIME FANGIRL); and a pic from one friend's monster flickr set from Boston Pride of two dudes in a rickshaw-thing with a "54 years together, 4 years married" sign, and a hot young thing to pull the rickshaw; I Am A Sucker for the senior set today. I am a gooey mess, and not in the same way as Sue's cucumber. Also, Google made me all misty-eyed just by replacing the vertical border between search results and ads with a rainbow banner when I went to confirm the spellings of Phyl and Del.

I don't have this. And I had to perform multiple searches to even get ads, which was weird. (Note: test & caribbean queen are not so good, but central services gets you something)
amych - SFGate has a picture of a picture of young Phyl and Del, shown at their wedding.
The whole ever-expanding series of pictures at SFGate is pretty awesome.

Also, from one of the related articles, about folks planning weddings:
But no toasters or gravy boats, please. Like many same-sex couples, Thomas and Dresser are asking guests to donate to groups fighting the November ballot measure.
Jill Sweringen, 46, and Barbara Schoeffel, 43, are planning an event in their backyard in Miraloma Park in September. They've already visited a stationery store to pick the invitations, which Sweringen described as an illuminating experience.
"He made us look through all these books to choose colors and fonts," she said, noting they chose amethyst and creme brulee. "Which is essentially purple and cream. ... You can kind of see why people might elope."
I looked at about 220 pictures of weddings this morning. I kept having to pause to sniffle.
Another of the pretty brides and baby: [link]
I need to stop reading this [link] and go home, but the sniffle factor has me trapped here for now. Woe!
Oh man, now I'm crying. Yay.
