You need to rename this Pinksheet

It's pretty much devolved into a middle aged gay column.

Good for them, good for them.

The LA Time has a wonderful photo that really captures the moment.

Two beautiful souls. They began the fight for equality for all of us and last night they saw it to the finish here in California.

Thank you Del Martin and Phyllis Lyon. You are heroes.

@ pi

Oh, so much nastiness in so few words.

You're a wag with no wag in your tail.

@ The last digit of pi

Don't worry your little head about it; gay cooties can't get at you through the intertubes.

It's fabulous

faaaaaaabulous.

@ pi

I take it back. You're no wag. A wag has wit.

"Fabulous"?

You aren't arch. You're archaic.

I saw them on tv yesterday...

It was one of the greatest things I've seen in my life.

55 years of devotion finally acknowledged by the state.

(Side note: It's been a long time since I took math, but I didn't remember pi being so... small.)

@ Sartrewasright

If pi is infinite, its last number is infinitesimally small.

Thus, it's apt.

But here, here (hear, hear? Does anyone know?) for the brides! As I posted in another thread, let them now hire themselves for relationship courses in those red states, which, as we all know, lead the nation in divorce. Hey, they could tutor McCain in fidelity! Then McCain could return to his only true wife (according to Jesus, whom McCain alleges is Lord)!

Yeeeah!!

Yeaah, old lesbians! Yeeeeaaah!

hail the daughters of Bilitis

Every TIME I read about these two it makes me cry. I'm starting to wonder when the effect is going to wear off!

License?

Let's imagine and hope the county waived the blood test.
