Gay Marriage Blogging
Posted by Bill Urban Farmhouse blogs the "Celebration of Marriage and Equality" event in Newton, Mass. From experience, I can say that some of what Kate witnessed during her foray into independent journalism is definitely de rigueur: Oh well. I stepped back, mumbling something, and almost fell over a camera guy and his on-air personality, mid-hissy-fit: "Why won't they SHUT UP! I want to talk to those women!" She went on in this vein for a few minutes, literally stamping her expensively-shod foot that the newlyweds were still on the steps with the speechy politicians rather than granting an exclusive interview to, I kid you not, the roving reporter for our local cable station's news show. Yes, CN8, Comcast's channel that nobody watches. She stormed back to the CN8 Explorer in a huff, leaving her guys to scramble after her. And this realization is kind of amusing: At this point they just kept giggling. My finely-honed reporter sense started tingling, and I realized that, through the patchouli haze, I had inadvertently begun to interview moonbats rather than actual participants in same-sex marriages. (Or both. Who knows.) The two populations are not mutually exclusive.

Posted by: mlah at May 19, 2004 10:22 PM Which would indicate removing the state from ALL "marriage," not just gay marriage ... a concept that I would endorse. Posted by: Bill from INDC Journal at May 20, 2004 09:14 AM Yup. It's the most logical solution. Civil unions for all, marriages or handfastings or commitments or what have you in the worship tradition of your choice. [Assuming, of course, that the civil union carries the same array of benefits that current marriages bestow.] Posted by: Dr. Kate at May 20, 2004 10:37 AM |
