This was sweet!

This afternoon I saw Priscilla Queen of the Desert with my friend Sally. It's pretty much exactly what you would expect from the movie being turned into a musical-- fun, lots of flamboyant, discolicious drag queens and a plot that doesn't exactly resemble Shakespeare. We had great seats just four rows from the stage

I wouldn't kill him (probably), and I wouldn't dump him on the spot, but pulling a stunt like that with me would provoke an agonizing reappraisal of whether or not I wanted to be involved with him in the first place.

I mean, really: in that situation there is tremendous social pressure not to say anything except "yes" -- which means it is the last place in the world a decent human being puts someone whom they care about and respect to make a crucially important decision.

I am torn between "Aww!" and this, but I am going to take the optimistic stance and assume that Johnny knows Terry well enough to know that it would be a well-received gesture (just as I'd hope my long-term partners know me well enough to know what kind of public surprises [not this kind!] would and wouldn't be well-received by me).

It didn't seem unwelcome in any way.

Your sense of fun does not necessarily align with what other people enjoy. Presumably your partners already know how you would feel about such a thing.

Judging by their body language, there was no "crucially important decision" involved-- it was more a matter of formalizing what they already both expected in the form of a delightful surprise.
