NYS Senate Passes Marriage Equality Bill 33-29

After a long wait, a couple of false starts and lots of preening on the senate floor, the New York State Senate passed the Marriage Equality Bill 33-29.

Excuse me while I WHOOZAH! It is official. You may now marry your shoe, dog, computer etc. Lulz wut? You just wanted to marry the adult person you loved? Aaah well you can do that too. But you you wouldn’t want to disappoint the Archbishop Timothy Doland, David Tyree and company would you? Let’s have some of that anarchy they warned about. Get to the drinking and the gay marrying of everything New York! You finally earned some of that “Progressive State” cred.

What? I had to.  Comment

A Male View on Wedding Planning

It was less than 48 hours after the proposal that the binder had already been constructed. I didn’t even really mean to see it, but as I was clearing off our cluttered counter I spotted the pink three-ring binder tucked away under some papers. At first I thought it may have been a work file, but the pale pink seemed an odd choice for a professional folio. I picked it up to examine the meaning of all this.

There was no cover (there would be one later), no binder label (that too) and no indication from the outside what it was for at all. When I opened to the first page and saw a list of links to every wedding website imaginable, I finally realized what I was holding. My fiancée is an incredibly well-organized person, but even for her this was a quick turnaround. My only explanation was that she’d been lying in wait; there had to be a secret cache of magazine clipouts, Internet printouts, and pricing lists that she’d constructed over the previous months. As it turns out, she had compiled all of this over the now 48 hour life of our engagement. The ideas, she said, had been stewing in her head since she was a little girl.

I Found the Long Island Serial Killer on OKCupid

So guys, I found the Long Island Serial Killer (or rather, he found me) over the weekend and then sicced him on furiously_red last night. 

I’m on the dating site OKCupid and received a standard message on Friday from a guy saying he liked my profile, I was cute, etc. However, his screename was YankeesFan, which gave me pause as a) I am a diehard Mets fan and b) I find Yankees fans to be insufferable (present company excluded, of course. Except people who drive ’92 Buick LeSabres). Continue reading →

How to Dress When Meeting the Girlfriend’s Parents

I’m about to spill a lot ink giving suggestions on how to dress for your first meeting with your girlfriend’s parents. You can ignore everything I will say, if you follow these two rules.

  1. Assess what she is wearing…and go a notch above.
  2. Tailor everything.  Everything.

If you are a fellow homodeviant, these rules apply to you too.  The female pronouns just make my job (haha) easier. Continue reading →

Divorce: The End of the Beginning?

It took her only 24 hours. 24 hours to turn our lives upside down and change everything. 24 hours to wipe the whole slate clean.

My mother had recovered fairly quickly from the divorce. At least to the point that she was able to function in day to day life and put forth a brave face for her daughter, who, incidentally, did not recover quite as quickly, nor really understood exactly what had happened to their family.
