I'm 32. when I was born cops in my city were killing gay men for fun, when I was teenager I was bullied relentlessly and beaten within an inch of my life for holding hands with my lover (thnx Muhammad for taking me to hospital, wherever you are), in my mid twenties it became legal to get married. Now my neighbours are mostly ok with me and my wife.
A lot of people got hurt or killed to get here, it didn't happen by accident. People were disruptive, sometimes violent, but we got here. That said the state still steralised me and maintains that eugenics program, so there's a long way to go.
The state requires steralisation in order to change gender in documentation. Specifically I had to be steralised and then "inspected" by two doctors to confirm.
Damn, what country do you live in? I'm in America and I have to keep reminding my conservative friends how close we still are to a world that sterilizes and murders gay people, and that their votes pull us closer to that world every time they win an election cycle.
I tried to get a groomsmen to be blind and need a guide dog. Unfortunately, my dog is an idiot and scared of new spaces so it would have given us away.
I thought that Hormel-chili-eating old man was just jealous of my apple juice
I think we all thought the same lol
Honestly, I was wondering the same thing.
Was also wondering why they waited for their dog to legally be the flower girl just to get married
I wasn't wondering, but I was getting ready to make that joke in the comments.
My thought process went a little something like:
Holy shit that's a sweet photo, is it shopped? AI?
Omg those dresses are gonna be covered in dog hair.
Why would it be illegal to use a dog as a flower girl?
...OH! 🤦♂️
Lmao same. As misanthropic as I am, it’s incredible to reflect on the strides that society has made.
I suppose that’s the same reason why it’s so goddamn infuriating and deeply depressing to watch things backslide nowadays.
It says a lot about progress that they can get married, and that people have completely forgotten about homophobia.

The state sterilised you?

Wtf why?
What do you mean why? it is the goal of all states to enforce cultural homogenaity and legibility.
What country?

My venue didn't let me have my dog be my flower girl :(
Did you use the Air Bud method?
