The Rev. Billy Talen makes us giggle. Not because he actually got dozens of couples to show up in New York’s Central Park on a chilly Valentine’s Day to revoke their wedding vows in support of gay marriage, but because he asked the crowd, “Can I have a same-sex-elujah?”

Actually, I got unmarried exactly one month early! The divorce was final January 14th. The closet is no place for a gay man…

Scott: do I offer you Congrats or send you a half gallon of icecream?
Rev. Billy does make me laugh, but the guy DOES have a point! If he organized a picket line at the “divorce court” here in Chicago, I would take the day off work and proudly carry a beautiful sign. Am not actually anti-divorce, just to be clear, but divorce is a bigger threat to the so-called “sanctity of marriage” than the gays and lesbians will ever be.
