First male couple marries in Alaska. Somewhere Jerry Prevo is beating his head against a wall.

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.

Sarah Palin provides drive by support for her husband's bid to win Iron Dog. Refuses to leave truck. Update!

 ...the former Alaska governor and failed Republican vice-presidential candidate, who has gone on to huge success as an author, reality-TV star, and Tea Party inspiration. Sarah was at the Big Lake start on Sunday to bid her husband goodbye, but didn’t appear to leave the truck she drove that was parked on the ice.

You know nothing says "I'm here for you" like yelling it from the inside of a truck with the engine still running. Pure class.

At least when Todd shows up to pretend to care about one of his wife's events he carries her purse for her. You know like any other paid member of her entourage.

By the way, what in the hell is wrong with her lips?

Update! The Sea O'Pee is in an uproar that the Alaska Dispatch claimed that Palin did not get out of her truck and offer a photo, that MIGHT have been taken at the Iron Dog today, to refute their story.

See? She is clearly out of her truck.

I mean sure it seems to have only been long enough to grab a skinny white-chocolate mocha, and not to interact with her husband or any of the other people there, but still....
