Sadly, yes. They also assume that we're promiscuous and either cheat on each other or bring other people into our bed all the time.

Holy shit, are you serious? What kind of miscreant actually says that? At this point it's fucking ridiculous - and the even more ludicrous thing is that at this point, in my opinion, people like that are a stereotype themselves and they don't even realize it.

Like, oh, I've never heard that joke before. Yes, you're terribly witty.

Argh. Fuck them. And congratulations to you both - because you're right, you guys have already been together longer than several straight couples I know. Gay, straight, I don't care - why can't people focus on happy and leave it at that?

Though I have to say, someone did manage to surprise me once, sayin' "I think it's stupid that the conservative group's main argument against gay marriage is that it'll 'tear apart the fabric of society.' As if gay men would ever do something to harm fabric." I thought it was rather funny.

I thank you kindly. We've had our ups and downs, of course, but we're happy. And I think that's more important than anythin'.
