Dear Editor...

From Rev. Stu':

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY

Homos-Erectuses.

 Much Love to You & Yours.

Happy Anniversary to Rev. Stu' & Mrs. Stu' from Stupid Monkey Planet

Happy anniversary wishes go out to my good friends the good Rev. Stu' and his wife from Stupid Monkey Planet Church of Primatheism. In addition to the help the Rev. has given me on the blog, he and his wife have also been very good friends for over 15 years. Though they've recently moved 1,000 miles away, they're always close by in my cold, black heart. June 13 was their twentieth anniversary, which is a hell of an accomplishment. Maybe they're not such stupid monkeys after all! Congratulations you two! Here's to 20 more.

Going to the Chapel, and I'm Gonna Get BACON?

Goddamn it ! Why did I have to go and get gay-married? Who knew this option was available?

Um, what? Really? Yeah, I know some churches are deeply attached to reserving the "religious" right to be anti-gay. But, I thought they were all way beyond this. Guess not.

Sanctity of Marriage? Kardashian Calls it Quits After 72 Days

He can do better. She's got a "brand?" Gahhhh.

This post has nothing to do with any respect I might have for the Kardashian family, or any of the several dozen ridiculous reality shows they have. The only reasons this story registers on my radar, are a) because the scale of the wedding was on par with the British Royal Wedding of Prince William; and b) that this highly public "sanctified" union was rubbish before a typical 90-day probationary period would be over.

Often, when it regards marriage equality (same-sex or gay marriage), we are told that marriage is not a civil right. It is a holy, sanctified privilege. This is of course, far from the truth. The truth is that any two opposite-sex, unrelated, of-age people can get married. They need not be in love. They need not be able to procreate. They can be criminals, they can be insane. They don't even have to know each other. In fact, I could put an ad on Craig's list for a insta-bride, and I--a gay man--could marry whoever showed up, tomorrow. But I can't marry* my partner of almost 14 years? You know what? I'll bet this Kardashian chick gets married again before I can legally do so in Las Vegas. Sin City!

Also: The fact that this chick has a "brand," and a following is a sad note on today's young people.
