okay, they've got me

[fflo]

As I was telling queerbychoice, I found it hard to maintain my usual "marriage-schmarriage" attitude when I heard about Del & Phyllis, who apparently didn't particularly care whether they were married but were just doing it for the young people, who'd asked 'em. I mean, how can you not be just a little touched by this?:



And now I'm hearing tales of the camping out at the courthouse and looking at pix at this site and, no, I still don't think relationship status ought to convey any benefits in taxes, insurance, inheritance, etc., but I am touched nonetheless. All those folx standing up for their love. Makes me wish I were in SF just to suck up some of the energy.

But maybe it's just my own heartsickness. Or maybe I'm just hormonal. Right?

That's just a lovely photo, no matter what the circumstances.

I think I'm too tired to discuss the institution of marriage. I was very, very against it until I realized that my lover could probably get me some spiffy health benefits (I was without insurance) if we would get married. I'd still do it to be able to live in another country.
