New York Times - Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg summoned his chief policy adviser, John Feinblatt, to his desk at City Hall a few days ago for what seemed like a routine conversation with the boss. “Let’s get a cup of coffee,” the mayor told him, motioning to the office kitchen. There, Mr. Bloomberg made an unusual offer. He did not know if Mr. Feinblatt and his longtime partner, Jonathan Mintz, the city’s commissioner for consumer affairs, wanted to marry. But if they did, and were looking for somebody to officiate, he knew just the man for the job. “If you’d like me to do it, I’d really love to,” Mr. Bloomberg said. “The mayor and John,” Mr. Mintz recalled, “popped the question.”
Does this make Mayor Bloomberg some kind of gay-love pimp? You know what, nevermind, that's not the real question here.
The question is, what if these dudes, or other gays in general didn't really want to get married? Like, yea its fantastic that gay marriage is legal, people should be able to marry whomever they want, yada, yada, yada...but there are plenty of straight people out there who shun marriage, what if this guy was cool with the way things were, now the Mayor is publicly offering to use him as the poster gay for New York's new law change? The guy's probably like "fan-fucking tastic, now my partner gets to blow all that retirement and vacation money on some fabulous wedding, terrific."
