Why this must be read: because this is a sharp and biting look at the politics of same-sex marriage. Stella's getting married to Ray Vecchio and it burns like acid in Ray's stomach, because as much as he loves Fraser, that's the one thing they can't do.

I love this story for its realism, and for the hope that one day, we all can have our own happily-ever-afters.


The Supreme Court makes it plain as day: homos get all the rights of cohabiting couples. And they write up a real nice resolution about it, later on--marriage is for boys and girls only, thank you for playing. If you like getting another guy's dick up your ass, you're just another one of those couples who can't commit.

I ought to tear up those newspapers, burn 'em with the next fire, but I don't. I clip the articles and put 'em away in the shoebox with all my other important shit I never want to see again, like my wedding ring and my marriage license.
