What Gay Marriage Brings To the Table

Just like immigrants, we welcome Gay marriage to New York. Now that the state has legalized Gay Marriage, the Gay community has a lot to look forward to as homosexuality becomes more accepted as normal.

-Gay Divorce: Divorce rates are sky the high. Gay people aren't immune to that fact. They also face real problems and disagreements. Do I expect the gay divorce rate to be any greater than the current one? Well, I don't care. Everyone do what you want to do.

-Gay Gold-Diggers: There are old, rich, and gay people. Old, rich, and gay are fairly common traits to be found, so there is a huge overlap between those vague descriptions. Plus, there are just assholes in the world. I am not saying gay people are assholes, I am saying that gay people are people. And a lot of people are assholes. They'll be gay gold diggers, and they'll probably think of a new term for that. Even though they don't have to. Gold Dickers?

-Gay Estranged Spouses: It could be good for their marriage. Shit happens.

-Less pride parades: Everyone gets it- you're allowed to be gay. It's cool that you're proud of it. But parades are annoying. Married people don't worry about parades, they worry about living life. I'm just saying that being gay is normal and no big deal (and I'm sorry if it is a big deal to you, but it's just who you are). Celebrate if you want to, but it's not an alternative lifestyle. It's just life.

- Gay Complacency: that's nothing new to anyone. They'll just be more movies about it with gay couples. Which is great. Goodness knows how Hollywood revels in cliches. Pretty soon they'll have a standard studio sitcom where the only difference is that its a gay couple. It won't be unfunny because they're gay. It'll be unfunny because its a standard studio sitcom.

That's it. 5 things. I'm happy for everyone.

Review: NY Comic Con 2010

I don't have any interesting pictures. Or even any interesting insight. Or even any interesting stories. Just perspective.

As this was my first Comic Con, I processed a lot of information one processes when they experience a first of something. Do I like this? Is this fun? What's that smell? Are these the people I want to associate with?

And perspective- I am not that nerdy. Nerdy in the unsocial sense. Nerdy in the fantasy sense. I mean I love the things I love to an annoying degree, but I'd like to think I'm articulate about it and I like to think that comes from being comfortable with my level of it. Comic Con- as you can assume- is the people who aren't generally comfortable with themselves in a place where they can let loose and be comfortable with themselves. That sounds good and all, but it really isn't. I'm not being cynical (no baby no). I'm just saying I didn't feel like I wanted to fit in. I mean, I don't read comic books.

Why did I go to Comic Con then? Delocated Panel. Your Highness Panel. And morbid curiosity. There was also a Butters from South Park panel, which was nothing more than a glorified commercial for a Butters DVD. But whatever, I went to it. The 2 mentioned panels were great and I got to ask a question and feel proud about it. Did you know most comic con questions are like this: What are you doing with the props/Can I have one? Can you give us spoilers on the other project you are working on? Will there be a sequel to the other project you did? Can you say hi to my girlfriend? Let me mention something obscure you did- and then can you say how that relates to nothing you're talking about?

So yeah- re-reading this, I'm pretty cynical. It comes from a good place though. A comic con. See- I just said Comic Con was a good place. Just wish I was stoned more.

Sorry for not saying anything ultimately interesting- I just learned more about myself more than anything at comic con- TALK ABOUT SELFISH. Talk about Shell Fish: they also stink.
