A Queer Sort of Fairy Tale

Like many, I find myself a little unsure what to make of today's monumental legal decision about marriage equality in Pennsylvania. Don't get me wrong, I'm happy that my one-time home state has decided that a weirdo of any gender can marry a fellow weirdo of any gender. I just worry about what happens next. In particular, I just hope that the understandable excitement of gaining a right long denied won't lead to people doing anything depraved like having a "fairy tale wedding". Last I checked, fairy tales tend to be filled with death, sadness and regret. Of course, in that regard, most marriages are like a fairy tale. Carry on.
