Moving beyond his
Gay Haiku and
Swish: My Quest to Become the Gayest Person Ever and What Ended Up Happening Instead, yesterday Joel Derfner published
Lawfully Wedded Husband: How My Gay Marriage Will Save the American Family [
Kindle]. The University of Wisconsin Press copy says, in part, "Add to the mix a reality show whose director forces them to keep signing and notarizing applications for a wedding license until the cameraman gets a shot she likes; a family marriage history that includes adulterers, arms smugglers, and poisoners; and discussions of civil rights, Sophocles, racism, grammar, and homemade Ouija boards—coupled with Derfner's gift for getting in his own way—and what results is a story not just of gay marriage and the American family but of what it means to be human."
