You know, I have been reading Savage [Savage Love] for years because it’s funny shit. But lately it just seems the writer is too hung up on the “gays and marriage” thing. Who is to stop you from having a ceremony? Just because you don’t get the “paper” doesn’t mean it’s going to stop you from enjoying all of the relationship things that any other couple does. This writer should focus on the letters he chooses to publish and give them the benefit of the same old shitty (funny) advice as in past years. It’s a personal column in name only. His perspective should not be personalized. You can give advice without making it personal. Call it like you see it.

But, yes, I do take comfort. I too believe that same-sex marriage rights are coming. I want them to come sooner rather than later, and I’m going to remain pissed–power pissed–until gay couples enjoy the same access to civil marriage.
