I'm very excited and happy for you. I can completely relate to how you must be feeling. I have a girlfriend, who lives is from Australia, and lives there... I am from the United States and live in the US. So it's almost impossible for us to be able to get together on any sort of a permenant basis right now. Today, the Federal Marriage Amendment that they have been trying to pass here, just Failed in the House of Representatives, I believe it was. It faild the Senate a month or two ago. I'm very glad for that. I'm hoping that someday, my country will be as accepting as yours and a few others, such as Canada. I'm very happy for you :) Take care.

Will you mind if a "few" of your blog-friends stop by to help you celebrate and throw rice? posted by: Mimi (reply) post date: 10.01.04 (9:09 am) yeah, loops! and did you see the gay couple that won custody of the foster daughters...one absolutely requires 2 dads...she had been abused by her maternal mother! so, congrats! to you and to "dad & daddy"! xoxox posted by: Mimi (reply) post date: 10.01.04 (9:10 am) p.s. it's not about anything else but the best for the children! posted by: badaunt (reply) post date: 10.01.04 (10:15 am) Way to go Spain! 'Equal rights' has stopped meaning 'equal rights for everybody except you and you and you' in one more country. Let's hope the idea keeps spreading. posted by: SusanofPudlin (reply) post date: 10.01.04 (5:23 pm) OOOOHHHHH!!! Let ME plan the wedding??? PLEEEEAAAASSSEEE!!! I am so thrilled for you. Where are you planning to register? Crate and Barrel? Bed Bath and Beyond? Target? Do all three!!! What kind of flowers do you want? Have you written the vows? When can I come and get busy? posted by: NurseNancy (reply) post date: 10.01.04 (8:24 pm) This is a good thing for many people. I am pleased that same sex partners are now recognized as the legal next of kin. That medical decisions can be made by each of the partners for the other. I always felt that my patient's partners were the ones I wanted to plan care with, not the next of kin who was probably the sister in from Pittsburg. In the bad old days I was not be "allowed " to discuss care with a partner. I did anyway, but legally I could have lost my licence for breach of confidentiality. IMHO,The RC church is a wet blanket, anyhow. posted by: rosietulips (reply) post date: 10.01.04 (9:52 pm) Hurrah! posted by: Daisymae (reply) post date: 10.02.04 (2:57 am) Congratulations! Something to be very proud of! Times have changed, and we really need to change with it! posted by: Andaloo (reply) post date: 10.02.04 (12:34 pm) Reply to: benontheblock Thanks Ben. Great news eh! posted by: Andaloo (reply) post date: 10.02.04 (12:37 pm) Reply to: TigerGrrl Thanks again. Sorry to hear about your long distance relationship, that must be really difficult to say the least! posted by: Andaloo (reply) post date: 10.02.04 (12:50 pm) Reply to: flaring Ha Ha I can imagine a coach load of t-bloggers at a party...interesting idea. To be honest we haven't decided what to do yet. Being totally unromantic we're working out the financial benefits, and if we do go ahead and marry it will be a very quiet event. (Becoming a legal couple last year was the most bizarre thing I've ever experienced...Hmmm maybe I'll write about it, and the party grew to be a bit out of hand.) I like the idea of rice though. posted by: Andaloo (reply) post date: 10.02.04 (12:53 pm) Reply to: Mimi You're so right when you say its all about what's best for the kids. I'm still sat on the fence with gay couples adopting, it's too big an issue for me to get my head round. posted by: Andaloo (reply) post date: 10.02.04 (12:56 pm) Reply to: badaunt Small steps, from little acorns and other such clichés. As usual you're right. posted by: Andaloo (reply) post date: 10.02.04 (1:04 pm) Reply to: SusanofPudlin LMAO You would love that wouldn't you? Do you think we should register with Tarjay or Bitch Boy? As for the vows...I'm thinking Leonard Cohen or Twisted Sister. Please advise. posted by: Andaloo (reply) post date: 10.02.04 (1:10 pm) Reply to: NurseNancy The implications of this bill will stretch far and wide. Sadly I know too many people who were kept out of any decision making when it came to a sick partner. From myself, and on behalf of the many "silent partners" THANK YOU! posted by: Andaloo (reply) post date: 10.02.04 (1:13 pm) Reply to: rosietulips LOL I LOVE that word! Awww thanks Rosie. posted by: Andaloo (reply) post date: 10.02.04 (1:16 pm) Reply to: Daisymae It's hard sometimes to keep up with the changes, and even harder to understand the implications of some. But sometimes it just feels SO right. posted by: SusanofPudlin (reply) post date: 10.02.04 (2:16 pm) Reply to: Andaloo It's just sad that you are not in New York or we could have the Fab Five throw it. Yes on Leonard Cohen. No on the rice. No rice, no balloons. We will use bird seed. Besides, rice is about fertility and we don't want you converting to breeders now do we? And no red velvet groom's cakes in the shape of an armadillo either. Register at Tarjay, Crate and Barrel, and Restoration Hardware. Also William Sonoma. Go for the Wusthof Trident knives. Start with the offset serrated one. YOU will LOVE it. The New York Times did a critique of it and that is how I came to own one. Now I cannot live without it. Also, thread count - no less than 350 and you prefer Egyptian Cotton, thank you. posted by: Andaloo (reply) post date: 10.02.04 (3:30 pm) Reply to: SusanofPudlin I've had enough already! The whole thing's off. Actually...just been reminded that he hasn't proposed yet. HUH? posted by: TigerGrrl (reply) post date: 10.03.04 (3:04 am) Reply to: Andaloo lol, I'm very sorry about the distance, but definately not about the relationship. It is very difficult at times, but I wouldn't trade it for a relationship with anyone else in the world even if it meant they could be with me every day. posted by: Andaloo (reply) post date: 10.03.04 (3:10 am) Reply to: TigerGrrl Just re-read what I wrote...oops! posted by: TigerGrrl (reply) post date: 10.03.04 (3:14 am) Reply to: Andaloo no need to be sorry :) I know that you weren't saying sorry for the relationship itself.. just sorry that it had to be long distance. ;) posted by: Toad (reply) post date: 10.05.04 (5:45 am) Yeah!!!! At least Spain is getting on with the times unlike the US congrats to you Andaloo and your partner! |
