Did you see this?
Yes, the bill now goes on to President Biden to sign into law!
But … hmm …
But why, WHY would they all vote to put my marriage to HR at risk? How does it harm them?

Did you see this breaking news?
Yes! Wonderful!
Here are a few pics from my marriage ceremony with Robert back in 2016.
Beautiful memories. And now it seems that our marriage will be protected.

P.S. But WHY, tell me why, would 36 Republican senators vote AGAINST codifying gay marriage? Against Robert and me being married? What is their reasoning?
“Just Set It Down“
I’m having a bit of trouble being happy today, after the Colorado Springs gay club massacre.
But today we were walking through Hobby Lobby, looking for Thanksgiving placemats for our family gathering, and I came across this.
And it made me smile. I needed to smile.
And HR seems to think the sentiment rings true.
P.S. But aren’t gay clubs supposed to be safe havens? Robert and I have visited them in New York City, Washington DC, Atlanta, Baltimore (HR’s hometown), New Orleans, etc. etc. etc.
But lately, whenever we go into a gay establishment, I look for the exits, just in case.
And even more sadly, when I go to our gay friendly church here in Savannah, I remind myself where the exits are, just in case.
It really shouldn’t be this way.
Proud in Savannah
This weekend is Savannah Pride. (It’s too hot to have it in June, the traditional month for Pride.)
Happy YOU!

“ROGER”
Robert caught me using the WordPress ability to dictate my blog on a break from festivities at Atlanta Pride this past weekend.
As least that’s what he thinks I’m doing.
In reality, I’m checking with my personal assistant Crystalia to make sure she thinks my wooden Pride beads are hip enough for the relentless paparazzi.
She did.

So Robert and I are in Atlanta this weekend for Pride. You may (or may not) know that the traditional month for Pride celebrations is June. But not in the deep South. It’s too hot! And some of our Pride might melt. October works better.
We’re staying at a very cool Airbnb near Piedmont Park where the festival is held.
We get our steps in climbing up to our suite …
And we have our very own little morning coffee spot …
Like-minded folks here.
Today, Saturday, is the Pride festival. (Tomorrow is the parade.)
Such loving, accepting and inclusive fun.
HAPPY OCTOBER PRIDE, Y’ALL!
The View from Behind #4: “Proud?”
For some reason, I have always appreciated “the view from behind.” As a child, on the first day of each school year, I was a nervous wreck waiting for the teacher to announce our seating arrangement. Front of the class? 😢 Too much exposure! Far too much responsibility to “be.” A nice, comfy seat toward the back? 😁 Perfect. I get to observe, to “see.” To breathe calmly.
In this blog category, “The View from Behind,” I invite you to join me, somewhere in the back.
I have not always been proud. As a matter of fact, it took most of a lifetime to come to terms with being gay. That designation, that reality, somehow took a hidden back seat.
But in my … EARLY senior years, I am attempting to embrace the gay joy of being gay.
Say. Saye.
My last name is Saye. And I like to say.
Here are a few pictures from yesterday, walking through the south Georgia city of Statesboro‘s mall …
May we all continue to be able to say “Gay,”
