Gay It Forward
That I am gay is irrelevant to my blogs and pop culture perspective 99% of the time. Until it isn't.
There have been several hot button political issues, people and songs in the spotlight recently, and due to the frequent nature of inquiries directed my way, I thought it was time to address them all. Here and now. Why the hell not? I rarely delve into the personal, but I'm feeling particularly snarky and honest today.
Question 1:
Are you getting married now that it is legal in California?
Answer:
Perhaps. We've been together for over 11 years, and don't want to get married just because we can. That being said, I cried when I saw this video of Ellen & Portia. So beautiful.
Political side note: please vote No on Prop 8 if you are a registered voter in the state of CA. You may not know me personally, but why deny me the opportunity to finally marry the woman who shares my heart?
Question 2:
What do you think of the song "I Kissed a Girl" by Katy Perry?
Answer:
In college we had a term for what she is boasting about - LUG (lesbian until graduation). It has become as common as the Freshman 15. Yawn. Although I will admit that the damn song is quite catchy.
Question 3:
Why don't you write about Lindsay Lohan & Samantha Ronson?
Answer:
For the same reason you will never see me discuss hotel heiresses and the like; because I do not cover celebrity gossip, nor do I have any interest in perpetuating rumors about people. There are plenty of other sites out there to satiate such curiosities.
Question 4:
What do you think about Sarah Palin?
Answer:
As if you have to ask. Although her official stance on gay marriage and benefits for same-sex couples is vague at best, I'm not an idiot. She and McCain will eviscerate the path which people like Ellen and Bill Clinton paved for so many. And don't get me started with Palin's offensive and egregious views on myriad other issues. This is not a political blog, so I'll stop there.

So there you have it, a completely tangential entry which I'm sure I'll regret in retrospect.
