Two Swedish lesbians broke a barrier in India this weekend when they married at the Taj Mahal:

The young women, Sara and Sandra had been living together in India's national capital, New Delhi for past one year and 'solemnized' their marriage according to the Vedic rites and rituals.

The newly married couple said that they were extremely happy to get married in the city of Taj Mahal, the monument of love and one of the Seven Wonders of the World.
…
According to Baba Dharam Das, the temple priest said that although he had some misgivings, when the two women said that they are in love with each other and wanted to get married, he solemnised the marriage.

"These two foreigners came here and said that they want to get married according to the Hindu rituals. They said that they would get married and it would be a woman-woman marriage. I conducted the marriage and they are happy now,"said Das.

That's the power of love!

May this never be you:

A Florida couple was busted for brawling over the woman's missing false teeth, which cops later found behind their TV.

"You're going to tell me where my teeth are, or I'm going to kill you!" said Louise Deeringer, 56, as she chased her boyfriend, Guy Dugas, with a kitchen knife during the argument, police said.

Relationships sure can be complicated, huh?

From the Editor: The woman you see at the right goes by the name Janet Webb, but I call her "Gram," a somewhat lazy pronunciation of "Grandma."

This Janet's a pretty radical lady and has been roaming this planet, wreaking havoc, for almost eighty-five years. Considering all she's seen in her time, I decided to ring her up for a spur of the moment interview.

After the jump, read Janet's thoughts on the gays, meeting my late grandfather, getting older, my younger self and what she thinks of anti-gay marriage activists. Her response may not be safe for work. That's my granny!

Meanwhile, hats off to my mother, Marsha, who took this lovely picture with her camera phone. Mom, you're so 21st century! Xoxo.

Don't be fooled by the cover, Bob Morris' Assisted Loving is not about a stooped old man eating roast beef in Florida. Well, it is - at times - but this memoir's more than that.

Picking up soon after his mother's death, Assisted Loving chronicles former New York Times columnist Bob Morris' struggle to find his eager beaver father a date. Surely trolling personal ads for one's father can take a toll, but, after all the arguments and aborted missions and, yes, his own dating misadventures, Morris finally learned to love his father. And, really, that's what this book's about: learning to love a parent - and yourself - as you look toward at times bleak future.

Morris recently sat down with our editor to discuss how this experience helped him come of age, the ethics of memoir writing and how his father led him toward his own relationship.

Straight folk could learn a whole lot from the marrying gays.

The spin doctors are in!

Newsweek's Lisa Miller recently wrote on a gay couple's lawsuit against dating site eHarmony, which prohibits same-sex couples.

The site claims that they haven't calibrated themselves for the queers and, thus, cannot accommodate our allegedly unique dating styles. They also justify their discrimination by saying they're marriage oriented and, since gays can't marry, they're just following the law of the land.

We've always doubted their arguments, but Miller falls for it hook, line and stinker!

Neil Patrick Harris was a chatty Cathy with Howard Stern yesterday and divulged all sorts of juicy details.

Like what? Well, did you know that NPH had his big ears pinned back? Apparently the former Doogie Howser star developed quite a complex, which may have been around the same time that he start having his lavender revelations: age thirteen.

Meanwhile, Harris also informed Stern that he had quite a list of lovely ladies before coming out and estimates that he bagged about 12-15.

That's all behind him now, of course, and the handsome actor simply can't shut up about how much he loves being in a monogamous relationship:

The best part about being in a relationship is like, going through phases and having things being great and things being not-great… I don't know that once your gay you get this card that says that if things aren't going great you can go fuck other guys.

Oh, yes. There's definitely a homo sluttery card. Yours got lost in the mail, unfortunately.

Andrew Calimach's sexual awakening came at a queer time: while at amuseum with his parents.

The family had fled communist Romania and found themselves in Rome, where the 13-ish Calimach felt his first gay pang:

I remember standing in a museum in Rome, maybe the Villa Borghese, staring at this ancient bronze statue of a boy about my own age, naked, pulling a thorn from his foot. I remember my parents trying to drag me away, and me staring and staring, desiring that naked boy.

Hungry for more, the lustful Calimach soon heard murmurs of homo-flavored Greek myths, which only fueled his pubescent curiosity. But, alas, those myths were buried, censored or simply destroyed. It was around that time, Calimach tells our editor, that he decided to dig up the long-lost tales of love and spread the love. And, after about forty years and inmeasurable determination, Calimach published Lovers' Legends: The Gay Greek Myths.

More than just ancient masturbatory material, Calimach found romantic tutorials. The 55-year old historian tells our editor, "The more I study these myths, the more I see in them the Greek's loving guidance: how to love, how to be loved, how not to hurt your lover…" Calimach also gives us the scoop on communism's positive attributes, why he never came out to his parents and how pederasty still exists. After the jump, of course…
