Woe to the same-sex couples of the District of Columbia! It is of course a wonderful thing that the city has recognized the legal right of any couple to marry if they so choose. But next up come the consequences: Queer wedding magazines. ABC marriage sitcoms. A new section on the Hallmark aisle. In-laws. Marriage is not all love and games and eternal enduring bond of matrimony. All too often, it’s kinda cheesy.

Seeing all those joyous images of same-sex couples getting married in the District, their straight allies registered a very powerful message: Suckers! Now we are all in the same crazy mix together.

Overheard of the Week

Clyde’s in Gallery Place on Friday night:

A gay couple is arguing.
Guy 1: “You never told me you cosplayed as Digimon!”
Guy 2: “That’s because I wanted you to love me.”

After the jump: Clueless cabbies, horny Texans, and the first stirrings of springtime tourist nonsense.
