All the rainbow marches, parades, picketing, flights to Massachusetts, contracts and finally-  the weddings.  Now homosexuals are thinking twice about the whole “marriage thing.”  No, its not because someone discovered how unappealing “gay divorce” is, but its a “cultural” decision.  As it turns out, getting married just isn’t cool if you are gay.

 

From NPR here:

Three years after gay marriage become legal in Massachusetts, gays and lesbians, who have come to think of themselves as counter-cultural and unconventional, are now being seen as part of the mainstream.

What happens to “gay identity” when you’re getting married, dealing with a mortgage, kids, picket fences and pressure to “settle down” just like everyone else?

Some in the gay community see marriage as a sell-out and say gay culture will lose its edge. Others welcome a chance to celebrate a gay culture that is more mainstream than extreme.

Who knew that gayness had an “edge?”  I knew it had a soft slippery center, but an edge? Nah.
