Feminism and Diversity

I confess I am deeply matrimoniophobic. Marriage to an alcoholic will do that.

My shouts of "Mazeltov!" and my hearty congratulations and wishes for a long and happy life are always tinged with relief and guilty pleasure that it's not me up there.

I'm delighted that the body of civil law governing marriage is now open to all adults. I agree that the institution has served many people well, although it needs a lot of work. My best hope is that gay couples will show us the way to do that work so that it's no longer a legal arrangement between a man and an appendage, the appendage expected to do all the shitwork.

Then again, I did see the worst of it. The best is likely out there somewhere. It's just not for me.
