Homo Why We Fight
posted by September 12 at 15:54 PM
onSuperstar gay journalist and blogger Rex Wockner has a post up on his blog today made me cry like a little Palin. San Diego City Councilwoman Toni Atkins married her partner of eight years, Jennifer LeSar, on September 6. Rex was there, got quotes from the happy brides, and took a few pictures. And it was one of the pictures—and its caption—that made me choke up.
Imagine the impact that attending the wedding of his openly-gay aunts had on that kid. What must it be like for young gays and lesbians to live at a time when—and in a state where—gays and lesbians are fully-enfranchised citizens, and gay relationships are afforded the same respect and protections that straight relationships have always been afforded. To know that love and marriage are possible for you too—not compulsory, gay “radicals,” but possible—must be incredible.

Rex is a moron.
Little Tommy looks old enough to be in grad school, it's not like he's sweet sixteen and never been kissed.
Sweet -- his face is actually shining with joy.
He looks about the same age my uncle Terry was when he shot himself. He was born a few decades too early.
But that's a very happy picture. Thanks for posting it, Dan.
Hmpf. I bet they were told to smile.
Wow, thanks Irena. Now I wanna shoot myself.
Talk about Debbie Downer.
Hah, I'm going to steal that Napoleon.
Sorry, Mike in MO, I didn't realize it was a party. Just what ran through my mind.
(And I really don't think it warranted an asshole comment like that.)
Oh, wrong Rex. It's the New York Rex I hate.
I enjoyed this post a lot, and I have had that same thought.
*snore* and the one trick pony beats himself to death some more...
Gays have been marrying here in MA for how long now?
