By reading I had a hard time telling if Cindy was for/against gay rights, either way it sounded condescending. I understand there will be new things that have to be dealt with, but we deal with new things every day.
I just think it’s funny that she’s not holding any punches for the gays just like she would do for the straights. She is condescending to gays and straights alike! Equality at last. :)
Oh I love Cindy Adams’ cynical look at the new same-sex marriage law that will go in effect this Sunday in new York! So timely with the blog I wrote today about gay/lesbian/same sex divorce. :)
Not a gay old time
by Cindy Adams (New York Post)
Sunday, New York’s first day for same-sex marriages, brings a new rendition of that old wedding song. It’ll now be: “Here comes the bride … here comes the bride …" Officiants will say things like: "Do you, Stanley, take this man, Myron, to be your lawfully wedded husband?”
That’s in two days. In one day, forget barbecues. Instead of picnicking, lawyers are having a real picnic. What they’re grilling are betrothees-to-be. We’re talking prenups. Not like who gets the dog, the apartment, the steady weekly Brazilian wax appointment. Now it’s who gets the child? They’re sharing makeup? Who gets the mascara?
I kinda went on a rant in today’s blog….hope you guys understand….sometimes it just happens. :) Same Sex Marriage in Vermont Gone Wrong I read an article the other day by Karen Hartman in the New York Times. It chronicles her very unusual situation. You see, back in 2000, Karen and her girlfriend drove from their home in Brooklyn up to Vermont to get hitched under that state’s more favorable same-sex marriage laws. I have to add a disclaimer here and let you know that my family is from the great state of Vermont. I lived there until I was ten; my grandparents are buried there; my grandmother Pearl worked for the state’s long-standing senator Patrick Leahy; my mother and cousin graduated from the University of Vermont…I love that state. But even I didn’t run off to get married there “just because I could”. As you know, New York just recently passed a new law to allow same-sex marriage in their state and the first ceremonies will be held this Sunday, July 24th. The problems began for poor Karen and her nameless lesbian wife four years later when Karen had an affair with a man and decided she wasn’t gay anymore. Read More
