Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you’ve probably heard that New York is on the verge of legalizing same-sex marriage but it’s been wrapped up in all kinds of religious exemptions and political red tape for about a week now.

But that’s the whole plan.  Gay pride is this weekend.  Just picture legalizing same-sex marriage on the Friday of gay pride weekend.  INSANITY.  The parade will be ridiculous.  Everybody and their cousin will be out frolicking in the streets and it’ll be a big fat celebration with equal parts abs, leather chaps, gay thumpa-thumpa-thumpa, and wedding dresses.  On the men of course.

Or.  On the other hand, what if they let us get married the Friday before pride weekend, and all the homos are celebrating and running off to the chapels and being even more ridiculous than usual because it’ll be the most joyous pride ever…and the next week the legislation is like “okay…we tried to let y’all get married but you went and acted a fool so let’s go on ahead and revoke that privilege now.”

Sneaky sneaky sneaky!

But forreal though, can they just get this over with?  Why are my rights a bargaining chip being used to get NYC rental legislation passed?  Unless I’m about to get a monthly discount for being a cocksucker, I don’t see what that has to do with me at all.

PS: Why does it have to be gay marriage, gay marriage, gay marriage all the time?  Why can’t it just be an amendment to marriage?  Anytime I do something with another homo, do I have to put gay in front of it now?  I guess over the next week I shall gay workout at the gym, gay eat lunch, gay ride the subway, gay audition for an acapella group, and gay fuck.

I’m OK with that last one though.
