Gavin Newsom and Gay Marriage

gavinnewsomheadshot.jpgI can’t discuss marriage without hearing the voice of the bishop from Princess Bride saying, “…MAWAGE.” In this case, the case of the Supreme Court of California in essence validating gay marriage, I think any bishop would’ve flopped over dead! But there are two important thoughts about this verdict that I can’t separate. One is “Yay! There is some sanity in the world!” and the second is “OMG Gavin Newsom is so hot.” Even though the latter is an involuntary thought. Even though the latter actually has nothing to do with the former.

Or does it?!?!

Gavin Newsom has the suave, well-coiffed looks of a gay man, but he’s actually something of a womanizing playah. (Or used to be if you believe the tabloid press.) He’s clean-cut to a T, dresses impeccably if you can get over the no-tie thing, tall, handsome, male-model looks. To all appearances the man’s gay. Does this explain his gay friendly policies? Not at all. But he is hot. See my problem?

It’s about time. Now if we could just elect our first half-black president I’d really celebrate!

    OMG (and I can’t believe I just used “OMG”!) you crack me up. I’ve had a crush on Newsom forevah! and I can’t stand that he lives on the other side of the country. But then I’m also now of sicko, lapsed NYer who sometimes has crushes on cute young Republican congressmen and still watches Fox News in the a.m. because of Bill Hemmer. Man, it’s a good thing there’s no polis based on hormones, ‘cuz look OUT!

    Oh man, I completely think all elections are made by the “do-ability factor”! Even if all the candidates are unsavory, the one you’d do if you HAD to, is the one to win!

    Come out to California, Jerome! Gavin Newsom needs you! :)
