SO GAY! 8 YEAR ANNIVERSARY // OBAMA GAY AD // PINK FLIGHT TOUCHES DOWN ...

Let's start the gay news, with a personal one ;-) On this date, 8 years ago, Alek and I got "married" ... well that's a big word since there is no such thing as "marriage" in France for same sex couples, you know the country of "Liberté Egalité Fraternité" French for "Liberty Equality Fraternity" (well not so much equality so far!!!!) Anyway we have celebrated this moment with the two people we LOVE the most, in a very nice restaurant in West Hollywood. It was perfect and I can't believe that Alek and I will be soon entering our 10th year together :-)

Not leaving too many comments, though i am an "addicted" reader but with this last info, i had to say it loud : BRAVO LES MARIES !!

Congrats for you 10 years together, and i wish you love for the years and years to come.

Oh, I see Obama is pandering to the gays now. Of course, they'll probably fall for it.

Peter, the Supreme Court of the United States ruled several years ago that sex between two men is no longer illegal in the United States.

Félicitations à vous deux! Here’s to many more years of happiness together.

A good friend of mine recently married his partner in Spain, hopefully la belle France can follow soon.
