Alaska history was made Saturday night as the first male couple exchanged “I do’s” in Anchorage.
Big Lake residents Gene Zola, 62, and Bob Deloach, 75, legally married at Raven in Downtown Anchorage.
The two men have been together for more than 40 years.
I think that if a couple remains together for 40 years it does not matter WHAT gender they are, they should be allowed to get married anywhere in the world.
By the way first female Alaskan couple married last week in Barrow of all places.
For those trivia buffs you might like to know that Big Lake is just a hop skip and a jump away from Wasilla, and that Sarah Palin also won the title of Miss Big Lake the year after she won the Miss Wasilla title so that she could have a second shot at the Miss Alaska title, which she failed to win for the second time in a row.
Love how you are able to tie that idiot to being a LOSER TWICE and these two guys are HAPPY....suck on that SARAH.
ReplyDeleteAt last! Some good news today. (Speaking of At Last, if you haven't heard Cyndi Lauper's version, check it out. Guaranteed to affirm--or restore--you faith in love.)
ReplyDeleteSomewhere Henry is cheering. Peter, too.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations and best wishes, gentlemen! This picture makes me very happy.
ReplyDelete40 years! Its wonderful glad they finally got to tie the knot!
DeleteCongratulations!
How wonderful! Another 40 years, gentlemen!
ReplyDelete40 plus years together? Talk about unraveling the fabric of society. /sarc
ReplyDeleteAnd we can thank all those politicians who for decades have thought it was just fine to discriminate against a lifelong partner who wasn't a gender the politicians liked. I hope those politicians kick themselves where it hurts until the day they die.
ReplyDeleteAnd I hope Americans are taking a good long look at whom else is suffering institutionalized discrimination...
Who would have believed gay people could marry before Bristol Palin could tie the knot herself?
ReplyDeleteBristol can finally marry Willow!
DeleteRemember Wife Swap?
JJ
Garden gnomes will be able to marry before Bristol Palin finds a trial daddy of her own.
DeleteArctic circle or here in California, my heart melts for all of us finally able to publicly, openly and officially declare our long-term commitments to each other. Especially those who are elderly among us!!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations brothers and sisters in Alaska!!!
Mazel Tov, Congratulations on your nuptuals and for making Alaska proud! No one deserves to "wait" nor "get in line" to tie the knot, it's about love and equal rights for all families. It's our diversity that makes us strong.

ReplyDeleteSame Crap, different day. Media trips over each other to report "there's nothing there to report, move along"

In other news,ticking off the right, it's been three weeks since 40 people in contact with the Ebola victim were put in quarantine, and not one of them got sick. There goes BENGHAZI!! Deux for the election. Damn. And they were so sure they could pin this on Democrats.
ReplyDeleteNaw, Jerry Prevo is doing a happy dance because he knows this will bring more money into his coffers.
