You're marrying a comedian?!

by Brian McKim & Traci Skene on June 21st, 2004

In an item entitled “The Gay Lifestyle,” on his Daily Dish blog, gay conservative author Andrew Sullivan ran a lengthy “list of the occupations of the gay applicants for civil marriage licenses in Massachusetts in the first week.” Right there, between “speech pathologist” and “state trooper” was, you guessed it: standup comic! We wondered who it was. Hey: Who are you? Got a photo of the nuptials? Send one in! We immediately concluded that the parents of the person who married the standup comic probably aren’t so much disappointed that their kid is gay, but more disturbed that he/she married a standup comic! What?! You couldn’t have married a doctor or something?
