It must be a royal wedding when two old queens get hitched. Star Trek's George Takei, 71, and his longtime love Brad Altman, 54, show off thier marriage license in West Hollywood yesterday. Congrats you two kids. I still think everyone deserves the right to be miserable, not just straight people.

YAY.
Very good news indeed. We've had Equal marriage here in Canada for several years now. It doesn't detroy the Country & doesn't make headlines...it's just marriage people!
Hopefully, this will carry forth to other States & other Countries as well.
I deserve the right to be as legally miserable as the rest of you!!!!
And yes, as a matter of fact, i HAVE spent the entire day with my Hag trying on wedding dresses. It was AWESOME!!
Maybe I should have shaved my beard first...or at least applied copious amounts of glitter, LOL
At least my chances of finding a man are doubled. I can get married here in Canada OR in CA...and yes, I do own a house in Palm Springs...so...YAY for me.
Serioulsy DD....set me up & you cna vacation for FREE, LOL
Air kisses to all,

Good for them, now they can continue living the same way but under contract.
Two mature male homosexuals marrying may work out, but young ones are just too horny. What's the point on marrying if you're gonna cheat. I used to be a cheater. Mainly because of the hassle of breaking up. I'd rather jump from girl to girl and stop calling the previous one. All that changed when a girl broke my heart and taught me about loving someone exclusively; that's something these two may know something about.
I'm Canadian and our marriage laws are still archaic. It should be MUCH harder to get a marriage license and MUCH easier to divorce.
The way it stands now, of course, it's the opposite, and it creates all kinds of acrimony.
Nelly meet crabbie...now, I want my two weeks in Palm Springs.
LOL...i gotta admit, i do love to read Crabbie's page too. He's an elusive little Blogger tho

You know, I opened my newsapaper yesterday and saw the picture of the lesbian couple in their 80s who had been together for decades getting married and the tears welled up. Those in opposition to gay marriage have the dirtiest minds -- it seems that all they think about is sex, who's having it, and how. And how evil it is! I don't understand how not letting people marry is a moral issue. I just hope that gays aren't put under a microscope to the point that when they get divorced there's an "Oh see? They couldn't keep it in their pants" spin coming from the holier-than-thous. How people can "defend" the sanctity of marriage" when the divorce rate among the heteros is so high shows the hypocrisy that stagnates this country. And that is my rant for today, June 18th, 2008. Carry on.
This is a BIG DEAL , my sister-in-law is an attorney for Disneyland and they are FREAKING OUT. The *Happiest Place on Earth* was designed with families in mind. Since this has happened they have been getting phone calls from people who want to host their weddings there. Disneyland says, "not in Mickey's house!" They are frantically trying to figure out what to do, stay tuned. Disney is bigger than Las Vegas....
If Disneyland doesn't think that the Gays don't pour a bunch of money into their coffers, they're deluded. If they won't let them have the same rights as straight people, they can prepare for a bone-crushing backlash, and not just from gay folks. "Not in Mickey's house" indeed. Shame on whoever's in charge.
P.S. My gay pals are procreating at a faster rate than my hetero pals. Disney must realize that there are several definitions for "family."
then why does Disney host an annual Gay Day at their parks? It's no wonder the gay couples are wanting to have their events there. "Gay Friendly" Disney changing it's mind now? Why?
Disney's Gay Day sounds pretty tokenish to me. I guess they're pariahs the other 364 days. I've had countless arguments with my UNMARRIED friend about gay marriage. He talks about the sanctity of marriage and all that other crap, and how only straights deserve to be married. Nonsense. Internet dating sites, bars--hell, even the workplace--are CRAWLING with cheating husbands (and yes, wives) who wouldn't know the first thing about the sanctity of marriage, or give a rat's ass (sorry, Bee Bee) about it.

calm down kids, I talked to Sheila an hour ago and she says the situation is well under control. The hot topic was "The Garden Wedding package". This was the least expensive wedding package at the Disneyland Hotel in the garden, it was for smaller groups. This package was discontinued this year. So when the couples called up and were told they could not have their wedding in the garden they had a WTF moment. "Don't try to hide us you fuckers!" was the response, Disney responded with, are you jackasses crazy? We take EVERYONES MONEY here, so don't worry, you'll get your chance, just not in the garden! When asked why the answer was simple. Disneyland has been unable to control the garden, as it is a public area of the hotel, so you pay a shitload of money for a wedding with beautiful atmosphere only to have uninvited spectators with beer bellies and cut off shorts gawking at the ceremony and screwing up your pictures. She claims they are going to add a "do ask and you tell" clause to all future reservations. Gay families will not be subjected to the Louisiana Christian Conference, unless they want to. Oh well, no drama here...
OK, OK, I'm putting away my torches and pitchforks. Save them for another day.
