IN LUXEMBOURG, GAY MEN RULE!

: L-R: Luxembourg’s Prime Minister, Deputy Prime Minister, and First Gentleman?

LUXEMBOURG CITY, Luxembourg (The Adobo Chronicles) – Luxembourg is a small European country with a population of just 550,000. It is a founding member of the European Union, NATO and the United Nations. The city of Luxembourg, which is the capital and largest city, is the seat of several institutions and agencies of the EU.

In June of last year, Luxembourg’s Parliament legalized same-sex marriage by a landslide vote of 56-4. The new law went into effect last January.

That is not what’s amazing about the country. Rather, it is the fact that it is now ruled by gay men. Its prime minister, Xavier Bettel, is openly gay and so is its deputy prime minister, Etienne Schneider.

Luxembourg’s gayness will even be more prominent when Bettel marries his same-sex partner, architect Gauthier Destenay, this week. The couple has been civil partners since 2010.

It hasn’t been decided how Destenay will be called.

Could it be First Gentleman? First Man? First Spouse?

HOW TO GET A LICENSE IN STATES THAT BAN SAME-SEX MARRIAGE, ACCORDING TO MILEY CYRUS

DALLAS, Texas (The Adobo Chronicles) – Same-sex marriage is now legal in 37 states. So what can a gay couple do to get a marriage license in a state like Texas? Singer Miley Cryrus has the answer.

Cyrus has managed to raise lots of eyebrows when she went public about her sexuality. She does not have any gender identity. Short of calling herself genderqueer, Cyrus said “I kind of wanted to be nothing. I don’t relate to what people would say defines a girl or a boy.”

In other words, ‘decline to state.’

In California and other states, any voter who does not identify with either the Republican or Democratic Party can mark the box, “decline to state’ in the voter registration form.

“You can do the same when filling out the marriage license application,” Cyrus said. Where it asks for the name of the groom or the bride, Cyrus’ advice is to just cross it out, write your name and add ‘decline to state’ beside it.

“By doing so, the state cannot discriminate against you since technically, your marriage is gender neutral and will not be in violation of any ban against same-sex marriage,” she added.

So if you are a gay couple wanting to get married in one of the 13 non-equality states, you don’t have to wait for the any ruling on same-sex marriage cases now pending with the U.S. Supreme Court.

You can get married now!

SENATOR MARCO RUBIO OVERWHELMED BY SAME-SEX WEDDING INVITATIONS

MIAMI, Florida (The Adobo Chronicles) – In a recent television interview with anchor Jorge Ramos Ávalos, Florida Republican Senator and declared presidential candidate Marco Rubio answered a series of questions about same-sex marriage.

Ávalos is a Mexican-American journalist and author based in Miami. He anchors the Univision news television program, Noticiero Univision.

During the interview, Rubio was asked whether he would attend a gay wedding if invited by someone close to him. The Christian senator responded that despite his opposition to same-sex marriage, he would attend a gay wedding if invited by someone he loves.

Well, just days after the interview, Rubio got the surprise of his Christian life. Dozens of wedding invitations arrived in his mailbox at his Florida residence, all of which were from his relatives and very close friends who were gay or lesbian. He admitted that he had no clue whatsoever that some of his beloved relatives and friends were gay. A few of the invitations came from his own campaign staff.

But as a respectable politician that stays true to his word, Rubio told The Adobo Chronicles that he would be attending each and every gay wedding he was invited to.

The senator may have gained some points there. Que bueno!
