As a gay, I have to say that one of the benefits of working for yourself is that you dont have to work for anyone you dont like. This attitude becomes real shitty, though, when people are in small spots with not a lot of variety of attitudinal caterers to choose from. Thats when you get into some, legal areas. Look up that one thing about that photographer in like, New Mexico or wherever.

BRAVO!Dan,for this posting… I read your blog always and enjoy it enormously.
This is the first time however that I have commented.
I agree Mrs. BFS. and thank you M.B.
I do find it so interesting as a gay man who has been very happily partnered for ten years and look forward to the day when we have the rights to participate in loving unions, sanctified and protected by the laws that heterosexual people take for granted.
One thing I do know, as many gay men and lesbians will back me up on, is that we would treasure the union of marriage in a way that comes with having been denied the right for too long.
As for the caterer your wife works for, Bravo! to them. I as many of my peers have been discriminated against, victimized by hate and worst of all ignorance of who I truly am, so this blog hit home.
Also if I may in this small forum of friends say… The term always used to identify us as an “alternative lifestyle”, we as people are not a “lifestyle”, we just happen to be of a biologically different sexual orientation, gardening or living on a golf course is a lifestyle.
Also RickMonday… Right on!
Thanks Dan.
Richard

Mickey Mantle, greatest switch hitter of all-time. Oh, I’m sorry, wrong blog.

Re: interracial marriage, I saw the other day where Mrs. Loving died. I always thought they were an aptly named couple. I would have no problem cutting Mr. Limbaugh’s hair, as long as I could stuff an apple in his mouth while doing so. I need peace and quiet while I work, not the yammering of an idiot.

Nancy,

Have you been watching the Barber of Seville?

Rick,

I’m not sure if a fondness for crisp currency can be directly tied to sexual orientation, although it’s certainly queer behavior.

Gish,

Clever.

MB,

Thank you. I’m partial to the Personal Best line.

Dave,

I agree.

Mrs. BFS,

This post wouldn’t have been possible without your hard work and commitment to graciously serve beer to anyone regardless of age, race, creed or sexual orientation. Okay, the age thing might get you in trouble. I read that Ellen and Portia are going to tie the knot. They’d do well to hire you to cater the reception.

Thanks for commenting,
Dan

This post is sooo gay!

Today’s ruling in California is just the beginning. 50 years from now, people will be tittering (NOT a lesbian term) at the notion that homosexuals were denied the right to marry, much as we do today regarding interracial marriage that was illegal in many places not all that long ago.

“Then it was beer and dancing time, which apparently they were able to do even though there were no men there to lead.”

“I mean really, lesbians deal in the same currency as the rest of us and they generally mean no harm, except when they’re playing roller derby.**”

THAT is why people read this blog. Good job.

It was shocking to me that they were turned down by other vendors–I mean who the hell cares? Plus at the end of the day, the people booking and planning the job (mostly by phone) were not the ones they sent to actually work at the function so they didn’t have to witness it, if they were really that ignorant. I don’t think MOST of the tips that were given out were because they were hoping to get us to play for “the other team”. I think they were just drinking and happy to have friendly service (and who’s to blame them for being happy they were served by women!) It was a pleasure to be
at their ceremony and reception. Cheers to you girls!
