Gay marriage: As ubiquitous as Fresh Direct

TAKE A NUMBER – Today’s Modern Love column in the Times is so fucking funny. Bob Morris describes gay marriage best in terms of Fresh Direct or smoking or Botox or parking permits. Read on.

Then there’s the fact that marriage often lasts about as long as a Botox injection. And what is marriage anyway but (if I may be so pretentious) a hetero-normative institution that clumsily mixes property and the State with the divine and ethereal ideals of love?

Then there’s the most insightful quote I’ve read all year:

“Being gay and single is becoming the new smoking…”

Who is this Bob Morris man? And when can I break up his marriage (and subsequent re-marriages), and keep him for myself?
