this year’s National Coming Out Day and Connecticut’s breakout news, I thought I’d relay an overheard phone conversation between my son and one of his best buds who’s bisexual and boyfriend-ed. His side of the conversation:

“I just wanted you to know that Connecticut just legalized same-sex marriage.”
-pause-
“Yeah, really.”
-pause-
“So you think you and Joe will be up for a three-way later tonight?”

Of course, it’s not what you’d like to think. This trio often conference-call — usuallly while playing video games.

I’m glad that Connecticut’s “separate-but-equal” civil unions were a short-lived avenue for my fellow citizens and I’m delighted we now have true legal equality. I’m even more proud of my kids who, now as young adults, eagerly celebrated the news.
