Margaret Chow And Everything Else
Winter is really starting to get to just about everyone I know. I usually hold out the longest, not because I'm some sort of goody goody Mrs. Sunshine, but because once you jump on the band wagon, you're along for the ride. My live in lover and I now spend most of our time eating, trying to make up for eating at the gym, and watching movies. Tonight was movie night with the family(His Dad and Dad's "roommate"). Well I have been reminded not so subtely that two family movie nights ago we all watched "Margaret Chow I'm the One That I Want." Some people might not think this is unusual for the families of gay children to watch together, but believe me, some things like Margaret Chow are more of an inside gay thing in Green Bay, WI. I forget how small town our city can be; I mean I take for granted that not everyone has heard of lesbian comedians. Well "Mama," Papa's roommate, has latched on to, "Hi my name is Gwynne and I'm here to wash your vagina." I never in my wildest dreams thought that I would be having family night with Margaret Chow. Chow's own treatments on family make the entire situation even more funny. This was such an oppurtunity for our family to learn more about us as a couple and it was so successful. It's like my "in laws" finally understand a little bit what it is like to be my partner or myself. We have really grown and bonded over this. This is true progess for the gay rights movement because we have changed hearts in a fun and positive way.
The fun positive gay rights movement did however come to its ever expected screeching halt with the passage of the gay marriage and civil union ban referrendum by the WI State assembly last week. A lady from church who knows my parter and myself well was not even able to explain to another friend exactly what was happening because she was so upset by even the thought of it. Again, this sort of phenomenon happening is tremendous progress for the gay rights movement. There has to be been evidnece in the last couple years of a real allies awakening. Our heterosexual counterparts know that we really need them. Our church lady friend had mentioned how she was working with Positive Voice on educating others on the referrendum so that when it comes around this fall it will not pass. It shames me in many ways because I'm not working with Positive Voice to help educate. There are so many excuses why not. But, I'm sure if I tried, I could find the time. I really thank God for people like our friend because without her I'd be really fucked in the long run. The whole gay rights thing is such a struggle for gay people themselves. We are not unified and yet well organized. Many gay people don't even believe in the institution of marriage. I'm not sure what I believe about what marriage is supposed to be, but what I do know is that my partner and I have one of the most real relationships together. It has been inspiring to the both of us, and I truly believe as of today that is has been inspiring to others as well.

Yet Another Joke
One day a teacher was teaching her students the different tastes of food. The teacher said to the class, "I need a volunteer for and experiment." So all the kids jumped up and down out of their seats to be chosen and little Jonny jumped first so the teacher picked him. The teacher then blind folded him and gave him a piece of food to eat. She asked, "Now Jonny what is it you're eating." Jonny replied, "Well teacher it tastes like and orange." "Very good Jonny go and sit down." The teacher asked for another volunteer and little Suzy raised her hand first. She gave little Suzy a piece of apple and she got it right too. Now, the teacher had one more test for her students and little Jerad was up for the challange. She blind folded him and gave him a chocolate kiss to eat. She said, "Now Jerad what is it that you are eating." Jerad replied, "Well teacher I just don't know." Teacher said, "Well I'll give you a hint. It's something your mother gives your father every night." Just then one little boy from the back of the room started jumping up and down and screamed, "Jerad, spit it out; it's a piece of ass!!!"
