11 years ago we were down at the Boulder County Courthouse signing a marriage certificate while the state-by-state battle for marriage equality played out.

Thanks to a rogue county clerk, hundreds of LGBTQIA+ couples were able to get married, while the issue played out in the 10th circuit Court, and the Boulder county clerk herself faced lawsuits and attempts to remove her from office.

after a few months of back and forth the governor at the time, hickenlooper, finally decided that Colorado be a state of marriage equality. almost a year later, just a few weeks before first anniversary, marriage equality was passed nationwide.

while it's hard to find the spirit to celebrate with everything going on in the world right now, it is also more important than ever to be visibly, loudly, and proudly queer.

Me this morning, finally motivated enough to trim the damn bougainvillea that's growing out of bounds again: gets the hedge trimmer, extension cord, ladder, rake...

My wife, promptly: do you also *want to* trim the olive tree?

Married people will probably recognize this specialty of relationship language. 😂

Continued thread

Sex is physical communication.
I need to know that [the person I want to communicate intimate things with] knows: possible outcomes (lol tho), possible risks, and is enthusiastic to continue.

To feel sure that they know it (and feel comfortable saying no to me), I need them to demonstrate key details and confidence to relay their desires.

But you can still *talk* to people you don't want to fuck, right? Like... cis het people aren't really going around only spending time on people they want to fuck... RIGHT?!

I'm happy to report that you don't need to share a lot of specific interests or pastimes to have a long happy #marriage. My wife and I enjoy books, walks, museums, restaurants, but otherwise we pretty much ignore each other's favourite activities.

She spends huge time on local politics, the learn-to-swim association and the church choir, while I prep and play tabletop games, go to metal gigs and film festivals, and hunt for geocaches.
