Meet Someone Now

Winds are shifting?

This past Saturday we went to my niece's wedding with 150 people in attendance. About 90% of the guest list were in their early 20's and some still in High School. The other 10% were mostly over 40, including us (well almost 40 :) ).
It was very interesting to observe people's reactions to 2 gay men together at a str8 wedding. While most of the older crowed stared and whispered, the younger crowd did not even seem to notice us at all. It may just be that they were too busy partying, but I would like to think that the younger generation are less ignorant than their parents.
It was a wonderful wedding and we felt very comfortable attending. After almost 16 years together, it was a little sad not being able to attend our own wedding. However, we see hope in the younger generation and maybe someday that will be us exchanging vows.
Cheers!
