I’m at home sick as a dog with the flu—although, my dogs have been anything but sick as they lay around patiently waiting for me to take them for a walk or play with a bone with them, so I don’t know how valid that cliché is.
Anyway, yesterday was a really weird day. Gay marriage came up for vote in New York and I anxiously dreamed of me and my partner having huge financial and legal security issues solved at last. But the politicians said hell no, which, considering Democrats hold the power here, just proves that most of them suck and simply humor us to get our votes. They aren’t concerned about voters’ lives and quality of living, they just want to get re-elected. Oh well. Props to those impassioned politicians who got choked up while speaking in favor of gay marriage—which shows that there truly are some who do understand what the issue means to us.
Heck. We may have lost to family values yesterday, but we sure won on the Family Ties front! Yes, it’s true. Alex P. Keaton is in a dilemma on par with Dick Cheney’s learning he had a gay daughter. Because Meredith Baxter Birney (aka: Elyse Keaton) has come out of the closet! And it only took her like three failed heterosexual marriages to realize she was going down on the wrong ‘P’ all along!
The real suffering I’ve experienced through my three days home with the flu though is a result of the excessive coverage of Tiger Woods, the latest role model for heterosexual marriage. Somehow, he’s getting more attention than the uninvited couple who was able to walk right into a presidential dinner! I honestly don’t CARE about all of Tiger Woods’ extra-marital affairs. What sickens me is—when did this guy become a stud? He seems to have more holes off the course than on it! Do women really find him that sexy? Sorry, not even money or fame can make this one attractive IMO. I mean, if you’re going to cheat with a married sports figure, you could do much better than a visually forgettable golfer!
