That changes a lot of my plans then. I was thinking that I wouldn't be able to get there until it was wrapping up. Hmmm...I can't go this time but I may be able to get there next time then.

Today is the day!
Today, the french parliament votes the gay marriage!
At last!
We've been through a lot these last weeks,a lot of manifestations,some gay-bashing(gay aggressions have been multiplied by 3 those last 6 months), even some death menace letters.
Yes, we've been through a lot those last weeks...
But today is the day!

In France, the law has been approved one hour ago. 331 deputies for the law, 225 against.
The vote opens the right to marriage and adoption for same-sex couples.
The first legal gay marriages are expected to take place around mid-june.
On y est!
Sorry,here we are!We're the 9th european country and the 14th in the world to adopt gay marriage.
Today is the day!

Also, I'm not guaranteeing a coming out story or anything in the future, but I am currently trying to process how I feel about Link after being introduced to Lindsey Sterling tonight.
I haven't felt so confused since the last time this happened.*
*GenCon 2010, Videogames Live concert. Awfully specific hangup, I admit.

I think Lindsey Stirling--as well as all the other people who dress up as Link and play musical instruments amazingly--make everyone gay.

Well fine then. Because this feels so right.
And yep, that was the other one alright.

I'm a straight guy and watching that girl play the flute in that short dress made me even more straight! : )

The floodgates are open... this year Rhode Island (already has), Delaware and Minnesota will become the 10th, 11th and 12th states to recognize marriage equality, and a number of states are considering constitutional amendments to repeal their marriage-ban amendments from the last decade and a half.

I've been in the Puget Sound pennisula vicinity while this was happening but schedule and logistics prevented me from showing up. So frustrating. Like having a lottery ticket with all the numbers just one off from the winner. I'd love for a small conference room to do a shoutout of us T-gamers. Cosplay encouraged, wear your avatar proudly.
Espirit Gala in Port Angeles
Just another 45guy playing his alter ego. No creep factor involved.
edit: Just to be clear, this conference is NOT a gamer event but provide support and resources for those seeking to emulate or transition to the opposite gender.

Ah yes, The Tortoise and the Hare, the fable where we're taught that it's okay to cheat. ;)

I hate Lindsey Sterling. I hate any girl geek who is both cuter than me and better at me at playing the violin (mind, I have not played regularly in a long time, but for some reason the insane jealousy still kicks in). Except Felicia Day, because it's impossible to entirely hate Felicia Day. (The more rational part of me wishes to suggest the two of them should play a duet together.)
Not that these things are hard to achieve.
Jealousy hurts, jealousy baby...
I think I will pause to be really glad about all the great same sex marriage news instead.

You play the violin? That's awesome. I doubt your rival is cuter than you, however... eyebrow waggle

Although it's not tabletop, Jason Collins just came out in the nba, a notoriously homophobic organization. He is getting support from many, including president Clinton, but there are closed minded folks who oppose.
Yes I saw that this morning, and as a coincidence we had a rapport in France that said that 40% of professional soccer players were Homophobics.
Looks like this topic is on the rise!
