Are there words for how much I love Wil Wheaton right now?
An interesting thing has happened since San Francisco started granting marriage licenses to same-sex couples: my marriage is just fine!
That's right. Even though there are thousands of gay and lesbian couples affirming their love for and commitment to each other, my marriage -- my affirmation of love and commitment to Anne -- isn't threatened at all. As a matter of fact, the only people who can really "threaten" my marriage are . . . well . . . the two of us.
It's weird. George W. Bush has opened my eyes to what a political act queer marriages would be. It's a bit like bicon last year, it wasn't something I was ashamed of but going there opened my eyes to how I'd neglected a part of myself. I don't want and I don't think I would ever want to get married, but if I was in a queer relationship right now and an American citizen, I'd be dragging my SO to San Francisco just so we could piss Bush off. And we'd toast Wil Wheaton too for being a voice of sanity in all this.
