Inviting your gay friends to your wedding is like getting into a country club that doesn't allow black people and inviting all your black friends to a party to celebrate

Well, I can't speak as the hetero person able to marry because I'm not and can't. *lol

We thought about not getting married, or filing for domestic partnership, due to the ridiculousness of it all. But in the end I needed health insurance, wanted to change my name easily, and honestly took the easy way out.

Well, I moved to Canada, so it's not really an issue here, but I certainly can understand how it must feel to be excluded from marriage as an institution and then go to participate in other people's celebrations

You guys should just move to Canada and be my neighbours.

K-zoo to Ontario, we tried it and it works.

that's true! how many hours drive is it?

I'd guess about 7 hours from where we love now. We were taking about taking a trip to Chicago and all I can think about is stopping for lunch in Kalamazoo. Maybe Cosmos or Martini's. Maybe a nice cup of coffee at 4th Coast. It's been 10 years and I'm dying just to pop into town even if it's just for lunch.

That probably doesn't help convince you to move to Canada does it lol?

My partner and i are living in Australia and it really is a pain to be invited to all these weddings of friends when we need to think up a game plan for when we get married. We're crossing our fingers the laws will change where we live before 2013 when we're planning for but its really hard to stay optimistic. Really considering moving somewhere where its legalised. Until then, many weddings to attend.
