Here come the gay greeting cards…

When we married almost two years ago, we received some warm cards and some elegant cards and some funny cards. I think only one or two of them were specifically geared towards same-sex weddings, likely because there are relatively few such cards out there, at least few I have seen. (Hey Hallmark people, there’s a market for you…!)

Then I saw this card online last week. It is from Whole Foods, the healthy food store. Who knew they sold cards? Are the cards vegan? But I digress…

I saw this card. I chuckled. And then I was embarrassed that I laughed. Yes it’s funny… and kind of racist?

Would Mitt Romney be offended? He is the only Mormon I can think of right now, besides the Osmonds, and Marie Osmond has a married lesbian daughter she is cool with. So I guess I would care more if she were offended, rather than Romney-Bot. What would Marie Osmond do?

And how would someone feel about receiving this card? On our big day would I want a card that brought up the controversy and bigotry about same-sex marriage? Or just a simple well wishing card, maybe with some sparkles and a mini pink boa?

On second thought, it is funny….

I began this blog in fall 2009, after seeing Julie and Julia, a movie which inspired others to cook and had no such effect on me. I have always been a wannabe writer, and always had tons of opinions, so this was a natural fit. Random thoughts, big gay opinions, sarcastic observations, shared stories, political musings, quote collecting, and lots of love for Alfred the adorable Havanese.
