In all the spittle-flecked, hymn-humming, hair-tugging, petal-strewn pre-nuptial hysteria over how many gays should be allowed in a marriage—the happy homo couple or just the priest, the choirmaster, and the hairdresser—we’ve all overlooked something far more important. The big day. The wedding.
No aspect of our 21st-century lives is more parched of gayness than weddings. They are desperate for a fairy makeover. We heteros should be begging gays to come and give the best day of our lives a dressing-down by joining in.”
— Writer and critic A.A. Gill posits in Vanity Fair that if fairness and equality aren’t enough to sway the case for gay marriage, detractors should at least consider the wonders the gays could do to spruce up the institution of weddings — aside from planning them of course.

Yes, this minimal post is much more relevant, than any articles on any of the gay marriage laws coming up for a vote, the millions that anti-gay groups are spending to defeat them or any other relevant stories.
But again, this is the same poster whose additions to Queerty so far have been a post about a peodophile posted as “Gay News” and a post about a guy who lied about being gay bashed. So why be surprised at this post with it’s mocking toward gays undertone.
Just in case the Editors were interested.
Here is info on one anti-gay bill and efforts to fight it in Mn. and info on a campaign to fight against the repeal of a pro-gay marriage law that the Gov. of Md. signed. You know, in case this blog every wanted to put anything in here like that. Oh and by the way NOM with direct funding from the Mormon and Catholic churches is pending a fortune on these, but you know, I guess this site can’t talk about that can you?
