Keeping us tried and true

Finn and Charlie is up

Joni Mitchell sang, "We don't need no piece of paper from the city hall / keeping us tried and true," and in a way, it's true for all gay and lesbian couples, like Finn and Charlie. The real marriage is in the relationship, and the acknowledgement of family and friends that you are indeed a committed couple. But at the same time, that piece of paper comes with numerous tangible benefits. To me though, it's not even about the benefits; it's about some kind of official recognition. I've gone a long time without it, and many others have gone even longer.

And now that you've read my spiel, please go and sign this petition at the HRC website. Thank you.

Sounds like a great excuse for a California vacation!

Ah! You might be getting older, but I'm definitely getting younger. Or at least less mature. Strangely enough, though, we do already have plane tickets and a hotel room for San Francisco in September...

10+ years is a pretty long time, it's about time you get a piece of paper :)

And heck, if you're already going to San Fran, you're really out of excuses. Go for it :)

Rather than reading my blog, which is boring and never gets updated anymore, may I suggest you read my comic, which is at hitchedcomic.com

I am officially no longer a DJ at WLUW. Long story.

However, the Chicago Independent Radio Project will have a webcast soon, and I'll be a part of that. And we can still talk about music... leave me a comment if there's something on your mind.
