Gay Marriage debates still in an uproar
CONCOR, NH — The state's commission on same-sex unions dealt several blows to proponents of gay marriage yesterday. In a series of votes, the panel said it would urge state lawmakers not to allow gays to marry, not to recognize out-of-state same-sex unions and not to set up a domestic-partner registry for couples who cannot legally marry. "My hope is before I die I will be able to approach a justice of the peace in the state of New Hampshire and be legally married," said Ed Butler, an openly gay commission member, who had submitted the recommendation for marriage. Soon afterward, the panel defeated his recommendation by a 10-2 vote. More of Panel rejects gay marriage amid table-pounding arguments @ Salem News - MA
Out of Shape Gay man learns what it's like to play on Atlanta Rugby Team
There were so many other activities I could have engaged in on a Wednesday evening — preparing to watch “Lost,” vacuuming, clear coating my nails or just laying around being fabulous.
Instead, I was on my way to a place where out-of-shape gay boys go to die: Atlanta Bucks Rugby practice.
Players and potential team members bring proof of insurance and a waiver of liability, essentially handing the team permission to injure them. I like my legs, damn it, and they are not to be used for sport.
My papers went to Bullett Manale, an aptly named player who’s known for his strong kicks. Born with a competitive spirit and always involved in various sports, he now admits rugby is his favorite, even with the constant injuries and grueling practices immediately following difficult weekend competitions.
“Rugby is a series of continuous plays for 80 minutes,” Manale says. “Unless you’re out on the field for 80 minutes, I’m not sure you understand how long that is.”
But it’s clear how long it is: too long.
