Sorry if it seemed like I was attacking you, Kristin. I really was trying NOT to make it seem like that. I just don't agree, is all.
No, I didn't think you were attacking, I was just confused about what you didn't agree with. My wording may have been poor (likely was poor), but I don't think we actually have different opinions. I wasn't trying to say that my wedding or its implications would be exactly the same if I were marrying a woman, because definitely the legal aspect is what's so important and yet is denied, and any marriage is diminished when the state/country doesn't recognize it.
I was just trying to say that my
reasons
for getting married were primarily personal, not legal. So it wouldn't be the same, legally, no, but it would be the same emotionally. For me, at least.
ETA: Don't get me wrong, I get that the emotional impact of not having a legal marriage is huge, but the weddings I've been to of same-sex couples were not diminished on that day because of stupid asshattery. If anything, they've been even more powerful and profound. That's been my experience, of course, YMMV.
So. Guess who didn't show up for our meeting today.
Damn, Hil. Is there some kind of anonymous online rate-your-teacher site where you can rip him to shreds and save other students a lot of anguish?
Lawrenceville is about 25 miles from my side of Atlanta, which has a large Jewish community. Minus rush hour, you'd be about 35 minutes from everything from a pretty grunchy granola synagogue to the city's largest orthodox synagogue. Both the Publix and Kroger in that area have rabbi-supervised meat departments (not that you'd care about that in particular) and the Kroger has the phenomenon of the Kosher Chinese take-out place. If you lived between Lawrenceville and Atlanta, your commute would be against traffic.
Sorry to be All Baby, All the Time but it strikes me as funny that instead of seeing the Pixies reunion show tonight (sob), DW and I are attending a class called Caring for Newborns. Hahahahahaha! I'm looking into my future, with the exception that it'll be an actual newborn rather than a class!
Hmm. Thanks for the info, Ginger. Georgia Gwinnett might be back on my list of applications.
So I'm really effing pissed off about the effing World Series and NO GLEE AGAIN that I might have to start off a thousand post marathon on cats because Hec loves baseball and obviously Fox programming is All His Fault.

I see from someone's Google map [link] that there's a reform synagogue in Snellville, just a few miles from Lawrenceville. (Note: Snellville's slogan is "Everybody's somebody in Snellville.")

Well, my day is now complete.
Just wait until Glee is postponed by the new reality show: Cat Baseball!
