"Is this a proposal, or some kind of postmodern intimacy avoidance strategy?" -- Only Alison Bechdel, the genius behind Dykes to Watch Out For, could spin such dry comedy from the same-sex marriage revolution. Enjoy!

In addition to this gem, for today's same-sex marriage update I'll post a Letter to the Editor of Salon, which is so goofy it just might have something:

"As a heterosexual couch potato, I wonder when all of them thar' wacky gays on TV are going to become fed up with the double standard in our country.

The stars of "Will & Grace," "The L Word," and most definitely "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy," et al., should wake up America by walking off their respective shows and declaring that they will not be the modern-day Amos and Andy. These celebrities have a direct line into the hearts and minds of millions of viewers who are happy to see them play gay for pay, while at the same time considering "real" homosexuals to be second-class citizens.

Maybe it is the metrosexual in me that's gotten me worked up, or the fact that (unlike the moral majority) I've actually met real live gay folk, but this is crazy! Move on up to the front of the bus and demand that this stupid debate over gay marriage end. God save the queens!"
