I received a wonderful invitation yesterday. On June 5th I am heading out into the country to attend a wedding reception that promises to be unlike any I have ever been to in the past. So, I am going to a wedding...so what! How does that make me happy to live in Canada, you ask. Well, let me explain...
I have known Bryan since we were in school together. He was and is one of the most interesting and entertaining human beings I have ever had the honour to know. He and his fiance have been together for seven years...about time they made it legal! I have never met James, but for Bryan to love him and spend his life with him I know he must be a fantastic man.
Bryan is also known as Divinesque, a wonderful drag queen who does her best to keep the heart of Divine alive and well here in Canada. The reception promises to include old friends, show biz folks, members of Bryan's pipe and drum band (maybe they'll give us a show), open mike for songs and roasting of the couple and I am sure there will be a beautiful Queen or two.
So, yes... I am so much more than happy to live in Canada where two people who love each other and want to make a lifelong commitment to each other are free to marry and share their happiness with everyone who loves them...regardless of their sexual orientation.
Congratulations to Bryan and James! I can't wait for June 5th... Now to find an outfit!
