Insert bad Gay-Themed headline here
Remember when I told you last night that I would explain the ramifications of any potential new job on Verbal Jazz? I lied.
In between watching movies both good ("Erin Brockovich": 3 Whole Notes in 4/4 Time) and bad ("Dogma": 1 1/4 notes in 3/4 Time) Verbal Jazz discovered a whole new handy rating system for movies, books, and other forms of entertainment as well as took notice that all Episcopal Bishops are now allowed to marry in Massachusetts, but all are still not allowed to neither ask nor tell in the United States Military. In short: the Supreme Judicial Court for the Commonwealth (we're so good we're not even a State) of Massachusetts has found that Gay Marriage legal in Massachusetts.
Verbal Jazz won't bore you with the details of the ruling we (Royal "We," mind you) didn't really want to be bored with either. Apparently, this ruling isn't the final nail in the coffin for "Family Values" advocates, the legislature has six months to respond and we in Massachusetts could be voting on a Constitutional amendment to ban Gay-Marriage in 2006.
Homosexual rights are still a hot potato. Potato is still a word that reminds me of Dan Quayle and his misspelling of that word. Remember when Quayle lambasted "Murphy Brown" for showing a woman having a child out of wedlock? It wasn't all that long ago that openly gay characters did not exist on TV. The Missus Jazz was watching an episode of "Murder, She Wrote" in which all male dancers with a ballet company were mulleted hets (not that there can't be mulleted het dancers, but certainly not every male in the troop).
Back to the hot potato. Are people, even in "liberal" Massachusetts ready to accept openly gay marriage?
