I’m boycotting all heterosexual weddings.
How utterly absurd to celebrate an institution that I am banned from in most of the country. It puzzles me, truth be told, that wedding invitations deluge me. Does a vegan frequent summer pig roasts? Do devout evangelicals crash couple-swapping parties? Do undocumented immigrants march in Minuteman rallies?
Heterosexual ladies and...

I received several pieces of mail from the candidates this election. Who doesn’t? But it several of the campaigns wanted to send us two of each. One addressed to me, the other my husband. Then there were several other campaigns that sent pieces of mail to us.
