The deco antique shop in Beacon we visited last Friday.

27. Do you think the sanctity of marriage is meant for only a man & woman?
What are you - nuts? The SANCTITY of marriage? WHO THE HELL WROTE THIS THING? Sanctity is not a word that has a place in our law. If marriage is to be respected as a legal institution, it's because the two people who signed the contract keep the contract. I hope it's out of love just because that's a nice fairy tale, but that would be their business and I certainly don't care what sex they are. Seeing that most marriages do not stay together I would ask - WHAT SANCTITY? And if the government is giving out 150 benefits to men and women who make that contract they damn well better treat couples of the same sex - LIKE MINE IN CASE YOU'RE WONDERING - equally. But they don't and that is insulting and demeaning. Our constitution (Happy Birthday constitution) guarantees us equal protection and we're not getting it. As a religious rite, I don't really care what marriage does - that's the business of whatever sect is marrying the people who wish to have a religious ceremony. But I am continually surprised that religious people, including those whose faith teaches that god is love, would ally themselves with so unloving a position, would wish to have fewer symbols of love and commitment in the world, and would set themselves up as some sort of police force - determining whose love is acceptable to it and whose is not. How dare every one of you.
28. Do you play air guitar?
No, knee piano.
29. Has anyone ever proposed to you?
See # 27, if they did it wouldn't matter, I couldn't marry them. The law of this country seems to be written by people who are so insecure in their personal religious beliefs that they believe those feelings should dictate our laws. It's a shame people who claim to live in a country governed by laws and not men (and women) should so pervert that intention that they must govern us by their personal religious beliefs instead.
30. Do you take anything in your coffee?
No, although your questions make me so angry, I could use a shot of whiskey in my tea.
31. Do you have any Willow Tree figurines?
What the hell is that? If it's anything like a Hummel - that would be NO.
My high school's rival was Stuyvesant, but that was over the Westinghouse science research awards, not football. If either of us had a mascot, it was probably a laboratory rat.
33. Last person you spoke to from high school?
Amy, she lives in my neighborhood.
34. Last time you used hand sanitizer?
At the lab on Saturday, before running a subject in our study.
35. Would you like to learn to play the drums?
I did, and played percussion in my high school orchestra for two years.
36. What color are the blinds in your living room?
Wood, I believe the finish might be called Cherry, you know how good we are at interior decorating, which must be the reason we can't get married.
38. Last thing you read in the newspaper?
I read the Arts Section in the Sunday New York Times, but none of it stuck.

Are you kidding? Pageant?

47. Who is the last person that left you a message & you actually returned it?
The census bureau.

In Santa Fe in 1999 in the house they gave me when I was working there. It had a carport.
49. Do you have a black dog?
No
I'm pretty sure I did. At least, I sure hope so because if that wasn't it, it won't be pretty when it comes.
51. Are you an aunt or uncle?
Yup, four times over, five if they'd d fucking let me get married. But they would rather children had less structure and security and were surrounded by less love if they determine that love to be the wrong kind.
52. Who has the prettiest eyes that you know of?
The Ragzzo, of course.
53. What kind of soap or body wash do you use?
Dove, no scent - I have very sensitive skin - you know how sensitive we are.

No - even though I'm gay. Can I get married now?
