We’re putting out our American flag. I feel that this has been a good week to be an American. Obamacare, gay marriage, and a president’s eloquent speech about grace. Oh, and in California, the vaccination law! Maybe there’s some common sense left in America after all!

I remember whan so many people were angry at him for “poking the bear” and even blamed him for Prop. 8.

How things have changed.

I’ll bring it up at the next Gay Agenda Central Planning Committee brunch. (Before we all get hammered on Mimosas and Belinis)"

You’re on a roll this morning, LOL.

I follow the example of the great Dorothy Parker: “The first thing I do in the morning is brush my teeth and sharpen my tongue.”

I lost a close friend that I loved as my little brother, to aids back in the late 1990s. He was such a good person, full of love, beautiful inside and out. How anyone could discriminate against someone like him always baffled me, and I was sure that the children of my generation would look back on that discrimination and say WTF??

My faith has been renewed in my fellow man, and I am so glad the court did the right thing.

“Marriage between a man and a woman was established by God, and no earthly court can alter that,” Jindal said. “If we want to save some money let’s just get rid of the court.”

What an ASSHOLE! Why do people believe spouting their version of scripture is somehow relevant to doing one’s official government job? We’re not a theocracy, Piyush!

What would be next? Mormons unable to dispense coffee at a Dunkin’ Donuts because “it’s against my religion”? Would Gov. Asshat get behind that too? With all the guns and rampant fake religionists, it’s a wonder we have electricity and the wheel here in America!

Notice also he went directly to get rid of it with no suggestions on how to correct the system.

Better yet, call it “Civil Rights Day”, because that’s what it really is.

Using Gay in the title would remind the baggergeoisie which civil right they were once again on the wrong side of.

He’s so revolting, trying to insert himself into this story. He is utterly irrelevant, as no Catholic Churches are needed or wanted for any couple to legally marry anywhere.

Another typical Catholic Bishop desperate to get his name in the newspaper for something other than fondling children, I guess.

Your job. And while you’re doing so, try to remember the public officials who are expected to issue marriage licenses and all the other assorted civic duties required to accommodate gay marriages who might not be personally thrilled about it. Because that’s what we civilized people do.

I would encourage you then, to have a nice cocktail while unwinding after your shift and bask in the knowledge that you are so much better than the people you would (rightfully) fantasize about pushing over the edge.

Personal bravery-- I’m glad you shared.

I too went through a bout 4 years ago where my physical demise-- though lengthy, and was proven temporary-- allowed others with whom I was acquainted-- to give up on me as an individual.
Familiar to a point-- but can’t fathom the added pressures you and your partner dealt with.

And I recall some time back-- where you expressed that you and your partner where able to wed.
When I have the chance later today-- I’ll raise a glass to you both!
