Always a Bride’s Maid, Never A Bride…
NO MORE!

WOOHOO! It’s about time! Can I be the matron of honor?
Damn, that sounds old!

I think if you have a kid, you’re not fooling anyone with white.
Huh.
I guess Miss Manners will have to re-think her criteria.
So… have you picked out a china pattern?

I immediately thought of you when I read the news today, and popped on over here. Pretty damn exciting!!

Mazel Tov!

I was thinking about you too!! I think a nice cream would be fine!

Now if we could just get the stupid state I live in to do the same! Michigan is so full of old poop heads! Yes, off-white works well, but heck, I’d wear RAINBOWS!!

I thought immediately of you (and one other friend of mine) when I heard the news, and then I second-guessed myself and felt guilty for being stereotype-ridden, but since others have had the same reaction, I feel a little better. Just so you know, I didn’t think of ALL my gay friends, just the ones with kids.
I’m going to go see if my other foot will also fit in my mouth now.

I think if it’s a summer wedding - between Memorial Day and Labor Day - you can still pull off white.
Or does that rule only apply to shoes?
May 15, 2008 at 12:54 pm
Okay, if there is an impending wedding, there must be a ring! Have you been holding out on us, Frank?
White no longer means “virginal” according to most sources. Now it only means you haven’t been married before?

I just heard!!! WOW congrats - guess now there is no reason for you to come up north - other than having me make your cake!
May 15, 2008 at 1:50 pm
Woohoo!! Now, who’s gonna make your cake!?!?!?
May 15, 2008 at 1:54 pm
Make sure you let me know where you register!
May 15, 2008 at 2:00 pm
it’s official (at least till the possible next obstacle next November) - it’s about time equal rights were actually equal!
May 15, 2008 at 2:15 pm
Woo hoo!!!! I think we’re ALL going to make your cake together- now wouldn’t that be a hoot?
Dang, I’m near teary at the thought.
There are some groups which are already gearing up to put a measure on the November ballot to overturn this momentous decision.
You can make a contribution to the Human Rights Campaign, a partner of Equality for All. They have set up a special fund to fight against the anti-marriage initiative! Don’t let them take away what the courts have FINALLY granted!

I think you could pull off a white suit…but there’s just something about a guy in a traditional dark suit with a white shirt…..
I hope this law makes it all the way….
May 15, 2008 at 2:44 pm
Baby, you can wear any damn color you want.
May 15, 2008 at 3:56 pm
Woohoo! I’m glad some people live in a progressive state. Mine’s so backward about this sort of thing, it’s just pitiful. We had that dumb “marriage amendment” on the ballot. People had bumper stickers that said, “Vote YES for Marriage”. I took great pleasure in coming home after having voted to tell my husband that I voted AGAINST marriage - at least in the vernacular of the pinheads.
I think it’s awesome that you have the right - even if y’all choose not to exercise it. It’s about time you get a chance to define your family the way you want. Yippee!

On second thought, Frank…do you still have your prom tux :-)?
May 15, 2008 at 5:03 pm
I’m with sappmama…wear any damn color you want!!! (I did like your pink prom outfit though.)
This is great news!!!…I do hope that last obstacle is cleared in November. Shame on those narrow minded, assinine people who will try to overturn this. I hope for once their “holier than thou” attitude gets crammed right back down their throats.

Yay for California judges! (How often can you say THAT??)
Ivory is much more flattering than white. I’d go ivory.
May 15, 2008 at 7:12 pm
Yay!!! Yippeeeee! WoooHooo! Yahoo!!! Hmm… how else can I say I”M SO HAPPY for you guys!!! Now if only the rest of this screwed up nation would get their heads on straight… ! Yay Frank!
May 15, 2008 at 7:26 pm
It certainly is GREAT news!
May 15, 2008 at 11:03 pm
W00t! *does a happy dance*
May 16, 2008 at 2:54 am
Great news!
Now, who the fxxx decides who CAN and who CAN’T anyways!
May 16, 2008 at 5:33 am
Yay!!! And Oliver can be your ring bearer!
May 16, 2008 at 9:40 am
You can wear *anything* you want!
May 16, 2008 at 1:17 pm
That was exciting to watch on the news last night. I was impressed with the mayor of SF.
May 17, 2008 at 3:19 am
Very exciting new!!!! Now it’s YOUR choice! :o)
May 18, 2008 at 2:27 pm
