On this week's episode of Defining Marriage: James is a man with a plan to push back against the awful people in the Donald administration. It might not be a good plan, but it's not like anyone else is stepping up. Also, Prop 8 might be coming back. But hey there are some really great documentaries about dogs on Netflix!

On this week's episode, we lament the Three Jerks of the Apocalypse: a trio of Trump appointees who will almost certainly work to undermine marriage equality without ever needing to bother with the Supreme Court. From the departments of eduction, justice, and health/human services, you can expect these people to make life miserable for LGBT people. Get used to hearing the names Betsy DeVos, Jeff Sessions, and Bill Price, and to saying them very sadly whenever they come up in conversation.
Also there was just a cute gay couple that got engaged while cosplaying as Power Rangers, so that's fun.

This week on the podcast: oh lord, won't somebody please give us some good news? We talk about some of the grim news coming out of Washington DC, and also that possible Supreme Court nominee who may or may not have posed nude. Also did you know there are two Fergies and they're not even from the same country?

Here we are, having a picnic!
I don't know what to say about this week's episode, or really about anything, ever. We're dealing with the meaning of last week's election, and also exploring opportunities to take action now that the world is ... different. And I have some good news: in light of these weird times, I've made the ebook version of Defining Marriage free for this week only! Head over to Amazon and pick up a copy that you can read on any device. (Also on this week's episode we talk about how to change the world with picnics.)
And: we had a bit of a whoops with the audio in this episode -- there's a little snap and crackle. I'd reduced it as much as possible so hopefully it does not cause you distress.
This week on the Defining Marriage podcast we are joined by Irish Rotunda, James' questionable drag character with a curious beauty treatment. An Irish commission has ruled that a bakery was wrong to refuse a Bert & Ernie gay-marriage cake. We also discuss the finer points of Hamilton and Miss Saigon, and a real stupid attempt to stop marriage equality by top officials in Texas. And we're doing a 24-hour game marathon livestream this weekend -- get the details and join us at http://bit.ly/extralifeseattle

On this episode of the podcast, we talk about a pup/furry party that Texas Rep. Louie Gohmert may or may not have been at. Louie recently suggested that gay marriage in Talmud-times caused Noah's flood -- sure, why the hell not. Also, an Ernie/Bert gay marriage cake has caused quite a stir in Ireland, and Judge Roy Moore is refusing to remove his annoying grandfather clock from the office he's been ordered to vacate. And we argue about erotic clowns.

On this week's Defining Marriage, we are treated to an extended cut of me trying to remember the name of ... oh dear, I've forgotten her name again. Also, let's talk about that rumor that Hillary secretly opposes gay marriage (spoiler: she does not). And Roy Moore, please turn in your keys, thank you.

On this week's episode: Ben Carson threatened further mass killings if gay marriage is allowed to continue, and we are menaced by ghost pumpkins. We also discuss our family crests, camel noses, and Cher is very worried about this election, but also might want to watch out for ghosts. But not pumpkin ghosts. Those are different.

On this week's episode, we celebrate the legalization of same-sex-cow marriage (or something like that) in the British isles. There's been a lot of nonsense about marriage this week, and this time it's not all coming from me and James: the Archbishop of Mexico says Christians are being persecuted; a judge in Kentucky says gays stole the rainbow from his tiny dog; and an Australian man does not believe in anal sex. Well, believe it or not, it's happening.

On this week's Defining Marriage podcast: The Grande Reveal! I have received a mysterious series of packages and a strange object du art. What could it possibly mean? And is it related to my dream of appearing in Hamilton, the Broadway show about the life of Margaret Hamilton?
On the marriage front, The Catholic Church has laughed derisively at the idea that they might change their minds about anything at all. Donald Trump has hinted that he might do something unreasonable (can you imagine). Australia is "free to tell porkies" about homosexuals. And we discuss the proper wording of wedding vows: "you may attach the ring" is not a romantic turn of phrase.

On this week's episode, we shout nonsense at each other from across a continent: I am in Connecticut while James is in Seattle, which means I can regale him from a distance with tales of NOM's ridiculous fundraising scheme, mysterious packages, and werewolves. Then he threatens to drive a bus with his butt and it's like we're in the same room.
This week's episode is an equine free-for-all, with some horsing around over NOM's ongoing fundraising problems. While they continue to bleed money, Brian Brown is making a ruckus about the Obama administration's "demands," which apparently include "transgenderism." Meanwhile, a Reverend Canon has declared that gay priests are pagans, which frankly sounds like a lot of fun.

On this week's strange episode of Defining Marriage, we respond to listener feedback regarding horses in itsy bitsy teeny weeny outfits. The parade of animals continues with Oscar Wilde quotes about women and chickens; and then we travel to Kentucky for an oddly homophobic ham breakfast.

On last week's episode, we all had a good laugh about how NOM called their own fundraising "pathetic." But this week they sent out yet another money-beg, this time reminding supporters that they need some cold hard cash in order to protect the nation's bathrooms. And that's why from now on we'll call them the National Association for Marriage, Bathrooms, Liberty, and All (NOMBLA).
Also this week, we debate whether marriage is a "Fact or Fancy," as one essayist put it in the 1950s, and also offer our thanks to the Australian legislator who said that gays shouldn't get married because Dolce and Gabbana are still single. Yup.

On this week's episode, we have new details on the Joe Biden-officiated gay wedding, including wild speculation over whether the Vice President invoked his right of prima nocta and bedded one or both of the men afterwards. We also have some dirty songs, and Roy Moore's Hexagonal Honeyhole. It's all very tasteful.
And: did you get the latest fundraising email from the National Organization for Marriage (And Bathrooms)? They called their own donors "pathetic" for not giving more money, so that's probably the most accurate thing they've ever said.

Liberace's seahorse
Who would be in your dream-remake of the movie Splash? For me, it would be Erin Gibson and Bryan Safi from Throwing Shade, and the title would be Splash 2: Serving Fishy Realness. Mermaids are the soup du jour on Bermuda, where the anti-gay-marriage forces are desperate for a compromise, now that it seems likely that they'll lose their attempt to hold back the weddings. The Isle of Man just got its first wedding, no thanks to a man who may or may not have had the head of a fish and the tail of a fish.
By the way -- on this week's episode, we note that there are very few (if any) famous black mermaids. But you can find a lot of lovely art here: http://mermaidsofcolor.tumblr.com/

Okay, I admit it: gay marriage is all secretly a plot to legalize bear-chicken marriage, as predicted by the TV show Arthur. Also on this week's episode: Utah's marriage equality plaintiffs got to march in a Mormon parade by exploiting a rule that was designed to keep them out. A candidate for the Supreme Court in Mississippi says that gay marriage makes America a "slave nation," and I guess he would know. Also, Australia has appointed a shadow minister for equality -- spooky!

This week we take a little side-grouse to talk about Stranger Things (we don't like it), and Ben Carson (he says gay marriage is evil), and Kansas (still not fully doing gay marriage). We also tackle the mystery of the mysterious ghosts whispering in the ears of little Mexican girls and selling cockles in Sherwood Forest. Plus! I cannot for the life of me name a Glenn Close movie. How could I have forgotten 101 Dalmations?

I'm back from LA and ready to catch some gay Pokemans! This week on the podcast, we talk about laptop-marriage, Virginia's latest redefinition of marriage (to exclude child brides), and a new study claiming that gay parents make fat kids. Also, it's weird enough that support for marriage equality is climbing in Utah, but it's even weirder that it's climbing extra-fast among Mormons.
Plus: I have another minor stroke trying to remember a celebrity's name. Camemberta? Harriet Hole in the Mozone? Maureen Slithering? Gary Anda? Chester Hope? Moldy Coldfish? Zoltan Mola Nosecare? Lola Crampstink? Nicole Cankles?

Happy America Birthday! I'm visiting LA this week and James is back in Seattle, so instead of him we have some extra special guests. I'm joined by Bryan, Liz, and a different Matt to talk about the Australian plebiscite, Robbie Kaplan's Mississippi victory, baby-friends, and sneaking onto ChristanMingle.com to gay-mingle with Christians. And we make a startling discovery on a birth certificate!
