As of last week, California joins Massachusetts as a purple state – so blue it’s part red! – with it‘s legalization of gay marriage, civil unions, wedded wieners or tacos together – whatever you wanna call it. I applaud this civil rights milestone for their community as a minority ambassador of Black folks, Role-playing Gamers, and the ultra rare Black Role-playing Gamers.

Gamers have always been able to marry non-Gamers — when they roll a critical success on the romance chart, or settle for taking 10 to land a 5 rating– but there was a time when Blacks couldn’t marry outside our race. OK, Blacks couldn’t marry Whites … all right, actually, when Black men couldn’t marry the White women whom wanted them so badly. Tiger Woods was never in jeopardy of inexistence, but Barack Obama (the first presidential nominee to trigger spell check) was. With the audacity to hope, one of the dreams of his father came true: punani blanco.

When will the first presidential nominee with two gay parents come? Judging from the distance between the Emancipation Proclamation, which spontaneously created both the NFL and NBA, and now, we’re looking at 2153. The controversial issue to be debated: Android marriage. “Intercourse, not Interface!!” will be the war cry, in Spanish of course – you know catholics. We may have an openly gay President before that. Notice I say “openly“; what happens in log cabins has stayed in log cabins up to now.

I hope so, because personal preferences are just that: personal. I like oysters, you like sausage – no biggie. When they’re pushed on others is when the trouble happens, like trying to squeeze democracy in a place it doesn’t quite fit no matter how much oil is used.
