On a lighter note

Monday, August 25th, 2003 | Giggles

After that last one I had to post something more fun… Was reading Let me get this straight and found reference to this article from the New York Times that made me smile.. Especially this blurb from a predominantly straight suburb..

“Mike and Sue Weinberg were out to dinner when their 6-year-old son, Jack, declared, “Mommy, I’m going to marry you.” When Ms. Weinberg explained that she was already married, Jack persisted, “Then I’ll marry Daddy.”

“You can’t marry Daddy,” Ms. Weinberg said patiently, “He’s a boy.”

“But Mark and Kevin are boys,” replied Jack, logic that his mother could not refute.”

And this one from Boystown:

“Chicago has been been so segmented, and not gay-friendly,” said Desiree Witte, stopping her baby stroller in a tiny park on a quiet side street in Boystown. “It speaks wonders that they would do something like put those pylons up, to say not only is this a gay community, but we’re honoring it.”

I read that piece in the Times on Sunday – and thought it was great. In fact, when I watched Sex and the City last night – I turned to my friend and said “could the world be any gayer right now”?

Our visibility has been heightened so much by television, and the press. Could the world be any more gay?
