For British gays, new law rings in wedding bells

BRIGHTON, England — “It was love at first sight,” said Tony Mason, speaking amid chocolate fountains, flower bouquets and cruise ship brochures at a recent wedding show in this city on the south coast of England.

After a three-and-a-half-year engagement, the besotted groom will soon marry his “soul mate” — an act the Atlanta, Ga., native once thought impossible in his adopted country.

While their wedding will be traditional, and their honeymoon a time-honored riverboat cruise down the Danube, the groom and his prince charming will make history as one of the first same-sex couples to legalize their union in the United Kingdom.

1. I'm so happy for them!

come on,if there was a bride and groom in this story, everyone would be saying "Aw, isn't that sweet! True love is so wonderful!" Why can't people realize that love is for everyone?

2. Yep...and...

...as the UK couple honeymoon in a time-honored riverboat cruise down the Danube, the citizenry of the US rushes down ShiteCreek, paddle-less, into the Dark Ages.

5. Yay!

Weddings just got a lot more fabulous! It will happen here. They can't turn back time no matter how much the fundies want to. We may be the last "western" country to see the light but eventually we will. Yay!
