How to Get a Domestic Partnership in Cali
I originally posted this on the Huffington Post. But thought it would be good to have in my archives for when people ask me about it. Before signing domestic partnership papers with my wife last year (yes, I call her my wife), we were told by several people who had walked that path before us [...]
Prop 8 Ruled Unconstitutional!
From the Prop 8 ruling today: “Proposition 8 served no purpose, & had no effect, other than to lessen the status & human dignity of gays & lesbians in CA.” But that does that mean? Can Remi and I run down to the court house today and get LEGALLY MARRIED? … Of course not, [...]
The Long Arm of DOMA
On the heels of the 3rd anniversary of Prop 8 passing, Remi came home today with some disheartening news from her work. We already knew that since she works for a federal agency, there was a good chance that they wouldn’t offer any domestic partner benefits. But over the last few years, we had heard [...]
Remembering Prop 8
Today I received the following press release and wanted to share it with you. It’s a sad day for our community. But hopefully we can use the anger, sadness and injustice to spur us forward and continue the fight for equality. November 4, 2011 — Today marks the 3rd year anniversary of the passing of [...]
Happy 4th All you 2nd class citizens
I hope everyone has a happy and SAFE 4th of July. I was trying to think of something to blog about, besides bitching about the obnoxious block party my irritating neighbors are throwing again. Which basically either forces you to take part or hide out in your house, a prisoner in your own home since [...]
Wedding Plans Postponed!
As a lot of you know, our wedding plans have been postponed. Not cancelled. Just postponed. I swear. Part of me is totally bummed but the other part of me is responsible for the delay, so I figure I don’t have the right to be disappointed. Since it’s kind of my fault. Let me start [...]

I have recently been on their site and they are offering a documented registry (though not legally recognized), of married homos. yay! [...]
Fuck Being PC
I haven’t posted in a while because …. well honestly, I haven’t known what to write about. Back in the day when I first started this blog I was a single lesbian looking for love in all the wrong places. Which in turn made for some pretty fun blog posts. But a lot as changed [...]
A Piece of the Pie For Gay Marriage
Just came across this on this site and had to share. Feel free to show it to any confused homophobes. Share on Facebook
“THE” Wedding Theme: Pasties Not Included
I must have some super serious writer’s block because I can’t freakin’ think of anything to write about that’s worth you reading. So, I thought I’d just ramble a bit. We found a wedding venue. No, it’s not the Queen Mary. They want a lotta lotta money for cheese and crackers and I’d rather spend [...]
Wedding Dilemma
You all brought up so many good points about the type of wedding we’re going to have. Is it sacrificing our individuality for tradition? Is giving into pressure to prove something really just selling out? Is it even worth it to spend all that money just to prove to our straights, that our marriage is [...]
This Ain’t No Invisible Tea Party
After multiple mental run-throughs of our various destination wedding ideas, I started to freak out. Was I cheating myself by simply having a pool-side cocktail party wedding? Was the original “no-stress” virtue of this plan actually a compromise in disguise, slyly cheating me out of my dream wedding? Was I giving up before I had [...]
NO H8 Campaign
We already know this but maybe you know a straight person that needs to hear this or a parent of gay child. Please repost this and share this with everyone. Share on Facebook
“The Wedding Matters Month” should be every month
In light of our upcoming marriage, Prop 8 is on the top of my list of news issues to keep on top of. I found a great resource for that, http://prop8trialtracker.com. I found the following post on there, and wanted to share it with you. I would also suggest you take a minute and go [...]
