June is traditionally the month to get married. The nearby church parking lot has been packed for the last two Saturdays, and we expect it will be the next two weekends too.
It was a bit of a shock to learn that Elton John was singing at Rush Limbaugh’s wedding to wife #4. But hey, a million dollars is a million dollars. Nice fee if you can get it.
Tomorrow in San Francisco a different kind of wedding issue is coming to a head. Same-sex marriage is on trial in Perry vs. Schwarzenegger, the significant case that goes up against Proposition 8.
Proposition 8 outlaws same-sex marriage in the state of California, denying gays and lesbians the right to marry there since voters passed the law in late 2008.
Why does California matter? Because it’s the largest state in the union, and what happens in California is often a harbinger of what happens elsewhere in the U.S.
Kris Perry and Sandy Stier, Plaintiffs
Why does Perry vs. Schwarzenegger matter? Because what happens tomorrow in San Francisco will most likely prod the winners or losers in this case to appeal to the United States Supreme Court. Does Proposition 8 violate the U.S. Constitution? This is the first time the gay-marriage issue has been fought on the grounds that it violates the Constitution.
The full testimony from the January trial can be found at the Equal Rights Foundation.
As an appropriate aside, we find it heartening to learn that a new study shows teenaged children of lesbians are quite well adjusted, thank you very much. The study by Nanette Gartrell was published last week in the journal Pediatrics.
As for Perry vs. Schwarzenegger, don’t expect to see the daylong closing arguments broadcast on TV, however. As reported in the San Francisco Chronicle, the judge in the case, Chief U.S. District Judge Vaughn Walker, denied media outlets’ petition to film the closing arguments. It’s really too bad. Perhaps if more ordinary people could see the absurdity of the case against same-sex marriage, they wouldn’t be cowed by the religious right to vote against equality for all.
Frank Rich wrote a good piece in the New York Times on Sunday, required reading if you’re more interested in the TV show “Glee” rather than gay marriage: “Two Weddings, a Divorce and ‘Glee.’”
Needless to say, we’ll be following this case closely as it winds on. Your opinion? Let us know what you think here in the comments section.
Till next time, we say Happy Gay Pride! Wear it well.

Get Nasty This Summer
Friday, July 16th, 2010Midsummer is upon us. Everything seems slow, quiet, slumbering. Time for vacation. The news reports that more people are driving to their vacation destinations this summer, and that’s an even better reason to try something new.
Our next-door neighbors took their kids to summer camp. Yesterday they didn’t come out of their house all day! We thought, bet they’re in bed experimenting like mad.
Here are three down-and-dirty suggestions for trying something new this summer vacation—
If you haven’t tried doing your boyfriend up his butt yet, or if you want your girlfriend to do you, this is the place to start.
