It took over two and a half weeks for him to ask me out, and even then I had to instigate things. “You can buy me lunch,” I texted him, hoping he might get the hint and buy me lunch or something.

— Fiona McCann on her registry-office wedding and civil partnerships, in the Irish Times. (via bingoparaphernalia)Is this the equivalent of applying for membership of a whites-only golf club and having to explain to our black friends that while we regret the fact that they’re not allowed to join, we’re waltzing in the front door anyway? Does this make us two more well-intentioned liberals unwilling to walk the walk? Signing those documents felt like slamming the door in the faces of all our gay friends, and showed up all our mutterings about equality to be mere lip service. One glimpse of the upper deck, and we were gone.
—It can only be seen as funny that men buy magazines containing pictures of breasts, but not magazines with pictures of knees or forearms. It can only be seen as funny that demagogues give speeches denouncing men who insert their penises into other men’s anuses - and then go home to insert their own penises into their wives’ vaginas! (One might have thought it obvious that either both of these acts are completely outrageous, or neither of them is.) And yet the interplay and permutations of the apparently meaningless, the desire to penetrate anus or vagina, the glimpse of the naked breast, the hope of sexual intercourse or the failure of it, lead to joy, grief, happiness or desperation for the human creature.
