Ellen & Portia, Elton & David, Melissa & Julie, Will & Grace, the Modern Family couple, Kurt & his mirror on Glee**... the happy faces of same sex couples in the media are a parade of whiteness. Not to oversimplify but it does seem marginally easier for antigay ministers to stir up black congregations against equality if they consider gay marriage a white phenom. That makes one more reason to celebrate Angelisa Young and Sinjoyla Townsend for being first in line Wednesday morning for an application for a marriage license in DC.
As you know, Wednesday also marked the first day same sex couples in Mexico City could legally apply for marriage licenses. Judith Vazquez and Lol-kin Castaneda discussed their plans in an audio interview with the BBC.
(**Kurt's boyfriend in season two will be "a male Mercedes." Just another singing dancing interracial twink couple in western Ohio.)
