There will be no shortage of news reporting on this event. I’m always gratified to come across reporters who have unique journalistic styles that keep me riveted to the articles they write. Cathy Kelly of the Santa Cruz Sentinel is one of these:
Federal judge’s ruling guts Proposition 8, the voter-approved ban on same-sex marriages
(Hmmm. Let me try and guess which side she was on.)
(About halfway into the article)
Demonstrations coinciding with the ruling’s release were planned Wednesday throughout the San Francisco Bay area and elsewhere, including the Diversity Center in Santa Cruz. A handful of people gathered at the center Wednesday afternoon to await the ruling. Initially apprehensive, the mood turned celebratory once the judge’s order was made public.
“We know and expect this is to be just one piece on the path to marriage equality. But it’s a critical part,” said Lex, who is queer and does not use a last name. “It feels good to celebrate right now.”
Of course, I could be reading that last sentence wrong. Maybe she’s trying to say that Lex is queer *because* he does not use a last name?
What this does is ruin one of my favorite jokes. I am very fond of saying that “I would be gay if they would let you be gay without having to have sex with men, other than not being sexually attracted to men, it’s perfect for me. No alimony, no marriage, no divorce attorneys, some guys have all the luck, that’s why gay is synonomous with happy, I’d be happy too if the law prevented me from getting married.”
That joke just doesn’t have the same zip anymore, oh well. It’s always a good thing when people get what they want and feel equal, but i was kinda hoping the way to solve the problem was to make it illegal for everyone, I guess that dream is out the window.
