I was at a dinner party recently and met a cute heterosexual couple who'd exchanged vows this past summer. They were exceptionally proud as they showed off their matching wedding bands. Big white smiles splashed across their faces; they radiated love. I swear I saw a halo envelop them or a rainbow, or maybe it was a unicorn that flew through the room.
I stood there, trying my best to be joyful. I managed to plant a big smile on my face and tell them congratulations before I walked into the bathroom to have a talk with myself. Mindy be nice. They're happy. Be happy for them. They don't know the privileges they have. Yes, they should know, but obviously they don't. This is not your dinner party, so don't go in there with a political speech about heterosexism, homophobia, and unearned privilege.
