So much fun, and totally legal in Spain. Everybody should be able to marry with the person they love.
And if you are ever invited to a gay wedding go!!!! Best party ever!!!

I guess it’s hard to be the object of so must lust and adoration.

The friend had to break things off with him, as Anderson subjected him to such indignities as walking 10 paces behind him, not arriving to or leaving from public places together, etc. To me, that is enough of a reason to come out. You shouldn’t treat the people you date in such shoddy fashion, all in the name of putting up a front, and then expect them to want to stick around. I still like Anderson Cooper, the reporter, but I sure don’t think much of Anderson Cooper, the man who broke my friend’s heart.

He perhaps “owes” it to young gays to serve as a role model.

p.s. I never let anything go until I feel like it. You can let it go, though.

No, he doesn’t. He does not owe “Middle America” anything. Let it go.

andrea – I do believe it, to me it’s a given.

sonja – NO! George isn’t good enough for Andy!

theShoeGirl – Me too. I’m only PC if it concerns my friends, or my kids, I guess.

Sandy – I totally see what you mean. My BFF has assured me that you can’t generalize about gay men…”they” aren’t all witty and smart. The thing is, my friends who are gay have a quality that sets them apart from straight men. They are expressive, playful, insightful, AND they know fashion. I cherish their friendship, but not more that my other friendships. My straight friends don’t have to worry about their civil rights. That’s why being supportive actually matters.

Sorry if it seems a little off topic SW.

OK, Decorno, I have to address this, but it may not make it to your blog…
Alison, sorry to hear about your main gay, but really, do you have any idea how pejorative that is?
There is a reverse prejudice going on here that is just as evil as someone who hates the gays.
Gays are people, stop all this “Love the Gays” bullshit, because it is completely dehumanizing. Gays are not cute little puppies. They are people who are have sex with their own sex. Nothing magical there.
I know gays that have the shittiest taste ever, homes are awful, couldn’t dress themselves if their life depended on it. Fifty-year old men wearing fucking Abercrombie tank tops.
Anyone old enough to recognize it will see this “Love your Gay” thing is nothing more than a retread of the episode of “Maude” where she hires Florida to be her maid. Gays are the blacks of the seventies, and all the hip sophisticated white chicks want you to know that they just LOOOOOOVE them. How could they possibly decorate without them?
Stop.

Since when do you worry about being PC? I love the term fag hag. It conjures up images of an old hag with a hairy wart on her protruding chin, chasing after gay boys to catch them with her long crooked fingers to cook them in a pot…
no? Just me?
