Homo Congratulations, Dearly Beloved Dykes!

onMy big sister Robin? Well, she’s a helluva woman, isn’t she? Of course she is. She was recently declared Woman of the Year at the Oregon State University, Corvallis, in fact, where she heads the Student Organizations and Events department, and she lives with her partner, Carol, in a small house on their big land on a river deep in the misty Oregon rain forest. They have been together since 1996-ish. They were “married” in a mass gay wedding in Washington, DC in 2000. That was all in protest: an outlaw wedding. It was kind of a big deal. Totally illegal, of course.
Well! Now! Here we are eight years later, and their deep and undying gay luv has finally been smiled upon by the State of Oregon: Robin and Carol successfully registered as domestic partners in Portland just last Friday, and it’s a done deal, good and proper and legal and everything. They have now officially been pronounced wife and wife.
My big sister is big gay married! Hooray!

Baby steps...one day my domestic partnership and your sister Robin's will be full fledged legal rights. I hope it is sooner than later. Congratulations!
Congratulations to your sister!

Congratulations to your sister.
Don't feel bad. You're not losing a sister, you're gaining one.
Just love these stories - every single one - all those times I marched over the years - this makes it very worth the effort.
Congrats to the happy dykes, how a bout a kissy proud and happy pix?
You're queer, too, right? Were your parents totally horrified to have not one, but two queer kids? Do you have any regular (it's a joke, people) siblings?
Do a lot of queers share the curse with other siblings?
Also, I love the term dyke.
Asking if Adrian is Queer is the best line of the day ..
Course, there are thousand of Flaming Mary types in Seattle .. really a gay friendly city
Dan and Adrian are hardly unique ..
Congratulations Robin and Wife!!!! I know people who have two queer kids in the family.
