"You may kiss the bride." #823

It's déjà vu all over me !

When I was of public school age the passengers on my school bus belonged in one of two categories.

- Category #1:
The "in-crowd" kids, the ones in the know, the ones with the inside scoop, the ones with the skinny ...

- Category #2:
Me.

With superlative cerebral agility I grasp and embrace the concept of same-sex marriage. I don't even mind a charming young gal in a tux. - but -
I have a vague, undefined impression that I don't get #823. No worries. Wholly Acrimony is outside my repertoire.

Thank you Pride.
NBC briefly mentioned what seems to be a wrap-up of a successful international pride celebration.

Personally I'd prefer a world where such blow-back was not necessary. Where we are all individuals and such categorization immaterial. BUT !!
I suspect more civil rights progress has been made in my lifetime than in the previous thousand years.

See you in the Promised Land Martin.

Indeed.
BUT !!
The pics in #823 & #825 make me feel like a glass half-empty kind of guy. Why?

Perhaps I've been living in a fantasy world. I figure many if not most have swilled the gender Kool-aid, - black suit, white dress.
Fantasy though mine apparently is, I'd conjured the notion that at least within LGBTQ there was a micro-minority that shed the labels.

Either of the pics in #823 or #825 might not rain on my delusion. But it's both. It's unanimous, 100%.
Even among carpet-munchers the distinctions of male & female persist.

Perhaps it's mainly ceremonial, and once the wedding is over they can get down to simply being mutually supporting life partners, gender irrelevant. BUT !
However mistakenly, I perceive it as a shadow of gloom. As if there'll never be a Paradise without a serpent.

I'm not a -kill the messenger- type of guy.
But I infer from this that the next trillion years of human history will be pretty much like that since time began. -depressing-

happy pride

#823 is actually a vid

A beloved Catholic school teacher was fired after a parent found an old obituary… and discovered he was once married to a man.

This is Catholic "morality" in practice.




Sounds like someone's kid was failing music
