#Thailand's Cabinet recently approved a bill to amend the Civil & Commercial Code, redefining #marriage as between any two “individuals” and ensuring #EqualRights for #SameSex couples.
About the bill: The amendment, which was approved on Nov. 21, aims to recognize the right to form families for same-sex couples, with plans to extend #recognition in #pension fund laws as well.

This time Ms. Ishikawa suggested the excursion, to check out the new Kyōto annex of her Ōsaka employer, the department store chain Takashimaya. There was even a store in the annex of theme items by Nintendō (任天堂), one of the few big companies based in Kyōto (last photo!).
It is ironic in terms of official Japan's reputation that Japanese women must take their husband's surname, except if they marry a foreigner. Then they do not have to, and my wife kept her maiden name. It is not well known, so sometimes the mailmen have wondered if we are related or what.
Although I thoroughly enjoy the tawny brownish red autumn leaves, leave it to World Heritage temple Kiyomizudera (清水寺) to display the full splendor of red maple leaves.

Much to my wife’s exasperation, I’ve been asked to do a TEDx talk.
TBF, she’s mostly infuriated by the thought that I’m going to be saying, “thanks for coming to my TED talk” at every opportunity, which I am definitely going to be doing. This is a woman who jumped out of a plane with me, not because she wanted to skydive, but because she couldn’t bear the thought of me going on about it once I got back.

Why four couples got married at the same venue on the same afternoon

Why four couples got married at the same venue on the same afternoon
By Lillian Watkins
Two years after standing vigil and praying for her newborn son's survival, a wedding celebrant has hatched a one-of-a-kind fundraiser — marrying four couples in one afternoon.

#Lincoln wrote a #poem that described a marriage between two men, which included the lines:
For Reuben and Charles have married two girls,
But Billy has married a boy.
The girls he had tried on every side,
But none he could get to agree;
All was in vain, he went home again,
And since that he's married to Natty

A quotation from Baudelaire, Charles:
«
Being unable to abolish Love, the Church has desired at least to disinfect it, and has invented marriage.
[Ne pouvant supprimer l’amour, l’Église a voulu au moins le désinfecter, et elle a fait le mariage.]
»

From The Intellectualist at the hellsite, here's Senator Mike Braun [R-IN] saying he's open to SCOTUS changing settled law and depriving people of equal protection in** mixed racial marriages.**
Thus allowing states to reimplement old miscegenation laws, or banning so-called mixed ethnic marriages, requiring SCOTUS overturn *Loving v Virginia* in 1967.
These are confederate radicals.

Will divorce become legal in the Philippines? #EconTwitter #contraception #divorce #marriage #philippines #repugnance
http://marketdesigner.blogspot.com/2023/11/will-divorce-become-legal-in-philippines.html
Twenty years ago today, #massachusetts became the first state in nation to legalize #samesex #marriage. .
Below is a fascinating interview with Hillary Goodridge (she and her then fiancee were plaintiffs for this case) reflecting on the past 20 years.
It was a landmark decision by the state's supreme court. Massachusetts then-governor, Mitt Romney, declared it a "blow to the family" and called for a state constitutional amendment to define a marriage as between a man and woman. Former president George W. Bush, during a State of the Union speech, similarly advocated for a constitutional amendment.
From the article:
"And as today, we were used as political fodder — which continues now, especially with young trans kids, with people of color, with immigrants. Politicians will use us for whatever end — and forgetting, as Mitt Romney did back then, we are your constituents. We are the people you are here to serve."

Still recovering from an incredible outpouring of love from friends and family celebrating our 40th anniversary last weekend. So touched and honored to have people I've known longer than that come to town to celebrate, as well as our newer friends who really laid on the love. If you can throw a party where people come and say nice things about you, I highly recommend it. Four days of wonderful togetherness. (Pics on the way – didn't take a single one, myself.)

OTD a quarter of a century ago (it was a Friday) a young-ish woman and a young-ish enby (who in those days was assumed to be a man) who knew each other only a few months said to each other: "Yes, I do!"
Within the next 4-5 months they'd have divorced if the woman hadn't fought hard for her partner.
Then they lived through the ups and downs of their life together in Munich until they moved to Hamburg (2006-2009) just to move to NYC (2009-2013) and again nearly divorced, had, this time, not the enby fought hard for their partner.
Then, by 2014/15 they decided to settle down - in Munich.
During all those 25 years they struggled with each other, with life, the universe, everything; went through heaven and hell; questioned themselves, their life, their sexuality, their job, their ... everything.
But they kept together through all that hardship until, one fateful day in December 2021 the enby finally realized that they are, in fact, a trans non-binary person and came out their partner a week later - anxious, fearful, full of angst...
... but their partner surprised them, because you know what? She loved them - always! And then she said something beautiful: "I can't tell you how it will be and I can't tell you where this will take us - but it will take us there together! *That* I can tell you and promise you..."
Since then the two people have struggled through the ups and downs of their new relationship (with a lot more ups than downs now), made wonderful new friends, learned to enjoy the benefits of their beautiful relationship and vowed to continue staying together until their love for each other ends - or eternity - whichever comes first...
I am thankful to the universe who brought us together and I am immensely thankful to this amazing woman I will continue calling #LoveOfMyLife, my BFF, my island in a stormy sea, my partner, my equal, my missing half, ...
Here is to another 25 years 🥂

Oh, er... yeah... I didn't make a fuss about it, but it has been a bit over one year since I separated from my ex-wife.
It was on November 1st 2022 that I moved out.
28 October 1874 | Jewish man, Moses Katz, was born in Kaunas (today Lithuania). He emigrated to Norway in 1898 with his wife Sara.
He arrived at Auschwitz on 1 December 1942 and was murdered in a gas chamber after arrival selection.

My wife went to a party with her girlfriends last night and was the designated driver for 3 women. She got so drunk that they had to Uber back to our house, and I had to drive her this morning to pick up her car.
So, we drive twenty-five minutes out to Sand Key, and as I pull into the parking lot, she says, "Oh no! I forgot to bring my keys!"
Then she made me buy lunch at a Greek place that had vegan options, because, also, "I forgot my purse!"
I feel used.

This week I've been mainly reading, no. 99.
Rachel Ingalls' short(ish) Binstead’s Safari (1983/2013) is a focussed tale of male stupidity & self-deception and the positive effect of leaving one's country and finding yourself (the wife's story). It focusses on miss communication in #marriage & salvation through becoming someone different when circumstances allow. While having a rather downbeat (but logical) end, it is an acute exploration of how male self-obsession wrecks lives.

It’s been thirty two years since this picture was taken and quite a journey since then. The short version is we’re still together and still love each other. And I’m a better person because she loves me. In fact, that she chose and still chooses to love me is the greatest gift I’ve ever received; a gift I’ve never deserved.
Men, if you could do it over, would you wait longer before having sex in your current or most recent relationship?

Morning school commute: Shelly and I are listening to Oprah Winfrey’s 2017 [PODCAST] interview with “President Jimmy Carter: His Prayers from Inside the White House”
Today, I decided to pay a visit to the neighborhood in which I grew up as a kid. On my way there, I was reflecting on my childhood. Hong Kong by Gorillaz came on YouTube Music. (Yes, I play YouTube Music in my car.)
That's when it hit me.
What an eventful life I've lived! Who could have predicted it? I had a heart attack, and cancer. I've moved from Canada to the US to be with a lady for 26 years, though we're now divorced. I've been to India, Taiwan, and yes, Hong Kong, too. I have a bachelor's, a master's and a Ph.D. I've discovered late that I'm autistic. I've reasserted my true identity as pansexual and polyamorous, a little prior to discovering my autism.
Wow!
Maybe my epitaph will read:
"If nothing else, this man has definitely led an eventful life."

"For those who have money, marriage is likely to help them to have even more of it; for those who find a good match, there are many emotional and societal rewards of partnership. But you need stability first; you need the money, jobs, housing, and health care first. And these are the things that the American government, particularly the American right, does not want to offer its people."

Yesterday, my partner and I shared a beautiful moment. It had been a stressful day of travel, both drained and overwhelmed. We'd taken a shower, I sat at his lap and we rocked slowly. I thought about wanting to marry him. Suddenly, he said:
"Ugh! Should we just get married? Let's just do it?"
"Yes, let's just do it!"
We knew how irrational it would be, considering we have been together for less than a year. But feeling and expressing those feelings is great, I think.

@zoomar the husband of one of my old coworkers used to ask to borrow his friend's car whenever he went on a first date.
You're probably thinking he wanted to drive a better car to impress his date. Actually, it was the opposite. He didn't want anyone dating him because he drove a nice car so he intentionally borrowed his friend's beat-up oldster when meeting someone new.
His date (my coworker) didn't care. They ended up getting married.
A little love for you....

I've learned a lot more about cooking in the past few years, not only because the pandemic (although the it gave me a push), but just from a logistical standpoint. I'm work from home, and wifey has to drive over an hour to Phoenix every day (🙄).
I think that she likes that I'm now able to cook better and more often. As soon as I'm off work here at home, I start thinking of/making dinner. That's another big advantage of wfh. I can't imagine her driving over an hour to get home then having to make dinner. It doesn't make sense. Even though she is a GREAT cook. She taught me a lot. Like what things go together, etc. She's vegetarian now and we try to eat semi healthy (cutting sugar and fat just when we can), so I try to work all that in. Using odd leftover ingredients sometimes, experimenting- it's pretty cool, actually. Sometimes you feel like a mad scientist. 🤣
The most important thing probably to all of it is figuring out what ingredients you always need to have around, finding them at the best prices, and making sure you use them fast enough before they go bad- which is always tricky, especially with fruits and veggies.
I used to hate cooking (all I did before was eggs or microwaved stuff, really) and I think I kinda still do hate the process and effort (I'm not one of those people who gets a lot of gratification from stuff I've cooked, I barely like food 🤣🤣) but I gather up the energy required, and I enjoy knowing that
Having an air fryer has really helped, and I can't stress this enough. If you're on the fence, just get one. I use it literally daily. You can air fry all KINDS of things-- veggies, meat, it's incredible. Probably best not to totally cheap out on it though, as we've been through a few. Ours is a Ninja.
I also set up a Trello board with a bunch of meal ideas, after people on here gave me great advice- if you want to see that, it's here!

We do a little meal planning, as I also make her breakfast and pack her a lunch, as she puts on makeup/does hair in the morning, and again, it just makes sense. I don't need to look any certain way, I rarely leave the house!
This one got a little long. Maybe I'll throw it on Substack eventually? I'm not super active there (yet).

I was doing this kind of wrong in previous editions. You'll be glad to know I fixed it. (Results are about the same, but it's the labor that counts.)
I ended up cross-posting day-before-yesterday's tiny rant onto ErosBlog, where a commenter's question led me to expand on it, just a bit:
"I don’t mind saying that LOYALTY is pretty near the first duty of any spouse. If you aren’t first and foremost on their side, and they on yours, that’s bad. Causing your spouse pain may be inevitable — anybody can fuck up — but putting it on social media postured as funny? That’s NOT loyal enough."
