In the wake of the recent Ontario Supreme Court decisions regarding same-sex civil marriage, I thought I'd share my opinions on on marriage in general and gay marriage in particular, and what the ability to marry a man would mean to me.
( High Fidelity vs. Solid Monogamy )
In sum, why shouldn't we marry, even if our notions of what marriage means to us don't quite square with our parents' notion of what marriage means (meant) to them?
(Oh, and why "solid" monogamy? Because Joan Rivers, in her persona of Heidi Abromowitz, when asked her opinion of monogamy, joked to the effect that her dining-room table was solid monogamy, and so were the chairs. ;-)
