stinglikeabeeIf it weren't for my mother's nagging about me not eating more and therefore destined to live alone forever, I would have forgotten about the HAPPY EVENTS OF LAST WEEKEND.
No, not Gay Pride, however fun that may have been.
I meant this (from The Advocate):
I'm aware Robinson's appointment as the first openly gay bishop in the Episcopalian church was seen to have torn the organization apart, but for the life of me I cannot see this union as anything more than joyful. If I weren't such an Atheist, this might be the thing to sign me up to the church right away.
It's just... so freakin' awesome, everyone! I hope California gets the same message come this autumn :D

The Reverend V. Gene Robinson said that he “always wanted to be a June bride.” And this weekend he got hitched. Well, not quite.
In a private ceremony that took place five years to the day from when he was elected as the ninth bishop of the Diocese of New Hampshire in the Episcopal Church, U.S.A., Robinson and his partner of 20 years, Mark Andrew, said “I do” in a civil union.
I never cry at weddings, but the news of this made me tear up something fierce and then pretend it was the onions, damnit.I'm aware Robinson's appointment as the first openly gay bishop in the Episcopalian church was seen to have torn the organization apart, but for the life of me I cannot see this union as anything more than joyful.
