    My thought process went a little something like:

    Holy shit that’s a sweet photo, is it shopped? AI?

    Omg those dresses are gonna be covered in dog hair.

    Why would it be illegal to use a dog as a flower girl?

    …OH! 🤦‍♂️

      Lmao same. As misanthropic as I am, it’s incredible to reflect on the strides that society has made.

      I suppose that’s the same reason why it’s so goddamn infuriating and deeply depressing to watch things backslide nowadays.

      I’m 32. when I was born cops in my city were killing gay men for fun, when I was teenager I was bullied relentlessly and beaten within an inch of my life for holding hands with my lover (thnx Muhammad for taking me to hospital, wherever you are), in my mid twenties it became legal to get married. Now my neighbours are mostly ok with me and my wife.

      A lot of people got hurt or killed to get here, it didn’t happen by accident. People were disruptive, sometimes violent, but we got here. That said the state still steralised me and maintains that eugenics program, so there’s a long way to go.

        I tried to get a groomsmen to be blind and need a guide dog. Unfortunately, my dog is an idiot and scared of new spaces so it would have given us away.
