Can't Top That

Britni Danielle of Oh My God, That Britni’s Shameless weighs in on the particular peculiarity of contemporary marriage laws as they relate to bisexuals.

I am not planning on getting married any time soon. In fact, I don’t know if I plan on ever getting married. Plus, as the law stands now, if I end up spending my life with a woman, I wouldn’t be able to marry her anyway. I don’t know if I could find a good enough reason to marry a man, even if I’m in love with him and want to spend my life with him, just because the law lets me due to the fact that he possesses a penis and I possess a vagina (when it wouldn’t let me if my partner had a vagina).

She said it here.

She said it by way of introducing a wedding-cake statuette site called That’s My Topper.

The item pictured above is from the site. This topper, called “Double Happiness” is evidently the Chinese character for marriage or wedding. It should escape no one’s notice that a) there’s no obvious indication of gender in the characters b) the twin symbols are identical and side by side, and c) they describe emotional and spiritual essence instead of physical description. Pretty nice idea, that.

I have an acquaintance who was unwilling to pursue a legal marriage under circumstances where the sex of her partner made a difference to whether or not she could.

She was married a few months after Goodridge, here in Massachusetts.
