We're happy about it. Or we would be, if all the religious gay couples we know whose blessings we've been to (about four now) hadn't used Ruth and Naomi in their readings already. Along with the hymn we want. (LGBT Christians. It's a rather small community. We already have wedding clichés. Go us.)

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
If it makes you feel any better, most of the non-religious Jews I know who had not-traditional-Jewish weddings but wanted to have their religious culture represented used Ruth & Naomi too. So, uh, the girl is a cliche on the other side too?

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I never fail to be offended by the term breeders. Maybe because I can't work out if it's supposed to include me.
I used to be somewhat offended by the term. Then I gave my sperm to a lesbian so she could breed....
Hmmm... I just haven't heard the term much at all in recent years, and no one's called me a breeder in 10 or 15 years.

She'll be so pleased!

"Wither thou goest, I will go."
I absolutely love that quote.
It's right up there with, "As Willow goes, so goes my nation."
And, I'm not even kidding.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
The last place I lived in SF was on Church street, a block or two south of Market. What neighborhood is that?
Sort of on the seam between The Castro and the Mission.
Yeah, you don't really hear the term "breeders" anymore. Maybe because there are so many more gay couples who are having children than there used to be?
Indeed, as tommy notes, many of the parents in Noe Valley would be gay. But it is a neighborhood notorious for its density of strollers on the sidewalk.

I hear/see the term "breeders" more often, but then I look at more childfree sites than some of you may.

New map of San Francisco's sub-neighborhoods. I'd object to our placement in the tiny sliver designated as UCSF Medical, but that's exactly where JZ works.
I see the "Tendernob" is becoming official. Yay? I object to Union Square being a "neighborhood." If it can't bear to admit it's in the Tenderloin, it should just be part of FiDi.
In short, I prefer the maps in the book Scola gave me.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

But it has its own Business District appellation! Complete with people in jaunty jackets to help the tourists and the terminally lost!
