Sheri rocks!

Here's a big thank you to Sheri Lynch of Bob and Sheri who pointed out this morning the sheer ludicrosity of our society when people like Britney Spears and Nicky Hilton can have quickie Vegas weddings (often followed by equally quickie divorces)--and many would say it was done merely as a publicity stunt to milk an image or sell a clothing line--when there are people in this country (like a couple of Sheri's friends) who have been together in a committed relationship for two decades but aren't allowed to marry because they are the same gender.

Don't we have our priorities screwed if we think gay marriage is a threat to the insititution of marriage? I've got news for people--marriage, like Elvis, has left the building, and there's no one to blame other than the heterosexuals who have been mucking with it for millennia and just don't always seem to get it right. Personally, I think gays could breathe a little life into the old institution before it dies a slow, bloated death.

Thanks, Sheri.
