Sodomy in the Lone Star State Oh goodie, hot and sweaty M4 M action is now legal in Texas. As a person that has been in violation of the law in Texas more than once�ah hell, sometimes more than once in a night, this is good news, and I don�t want to put any sand in the lube, however: Can I get legally married to my partner of 11 years? Nope Is the suicide rate for gay teens 3 x as high as straight kids? Yup Can I be out and about in this man�s army? Nope Does NBC, which makes kazillions in advertising bucks each weeks by showing �Will and Grace� offer domestic benefits to its gay employees? Nope. Could Ray and I become foster parents to medically challenging kids, even if he is a pediatrician and I am a nurse? Nope Can Ray make medical decisions for me if I am incapacitated? Well, yes he can, but only because we hired a militant lesbian lawyer and paid her good money to get all our financial and legal ducks in a row. I could go on and on (and often do) but I know I am preaching to the choir. Celebrate if you feel like it, but there is still work to do in the morning.
Meanwhile
Here is Jeff's sock, the good news is I have another one just like it.
