One of the time-honored slogans of the right-wing anti-marriage-equality camp is, "God made Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve!"
Well, someone should tell that to the Berger-Franks.
I don't normally read the wedding section of The New York Times (the closest I come is watching that classic Sex and the City episode, "until recently, the bride had a life of her own!"), but The Times put a color photo link on the online homepage.
They story of how they met and fell in love is pretty cute, actually.
Adam Berger, an investment strategist, and Stephen Frank, a lawyer, are of course not actually legally married, thanks to the New York Court of Appeals. (They have been partners for 10 years.) Some might ask, "But if they can live together and go through a religious commitment ceremony, why does it matter that they're not 'legally' married?"
Well, since we've spent the last couple of weeks pondering September 11th and its lessons and meanings, we might want to take a look at what happened to some of the partners of gay victims of the attacks.
Equality matters.

Thanks for pointing that out, I missed it. I love the info I get on your blog, thanks and keep up the good work.
Yes, that's a nice story. If only more of the world could recognize that love is love. It knows no rules.

The happy couple look great in the picture, and bravo to them for going ahead with the ceremony, and bravo to the media for covering it.
However, you realize that the following...

Okay. You've been warned. I will say, I have two good friends who thought it was "good" and "cute." I thought it was excruciating.
how could they NOT know the other was gay?
they look gay to me.
Oh please, Gino, there were women who were shocked, shocked that Liberace was gay. And how many teenage girls had crushes on Lance Bass? Some people just aren't tuned in very well.
heehee...
as for teenage girls: all the guys who got the girls in junior high all turned out to be gay. thats just the way it is. go to any jr high school dance. the guy who has the girls lining up to dance with him? he's gay.
