It has been so hot recently that I am reluctant to keep the computer on long enough to blog.
But.
I just wanted to say that Adam and I went to a wedding on Sunday, which was alright. Politically-charged comment: the most expeditious way to resolve the gay marriage controversy is for the State to stop issuing marriage licenses altogether. If people want to live together, be monogamous (or not), raise children as a family, that's fantastic, but it's none of the State's business. It is inequitable to treat married couples preferentially (tax advantages, etc.): maybe the rest of us single folks are poorer communicators, lousier lovers or just plain uglier -- why punish us for that? Besides, if the State stops marriage licenses, the danger of the State sanctioning types of relationships that are reprehensible to some of its citizens will disappear.
