Just caught this in the NY Times:
Not Going to the Chapel
http://www.nytimes.com/2011/05/22/opinion/22benjamin.html?_r=1[QUOTE]I call on all gay people to join my boycott of straight weddings this summer, regardless of where their straight loved ones stand. Yes, our boycott may bruise some feelings. But then again, our inability to participate in this institution is hurtful and bruising, too. [/QUOTE]
Would he go to a same-sex wedding? Or are those off limits too? There's no discussion area to ask.
I think he has a point. The exclusion sucks. But I'm just not sure it's the most constructive way to get to the matter. Alientating your allies--some of whom do march in protest. FI has promised me when he comes here he'll help me fight DOMA--it was a condition of our engagement!
What do you think? Would you understand if a friend told you they were boycotting?
