Virginia can be surprisingly cool when it is not forcing me to facepalm. It is a roller coaster state.

Things certainly have changed since I moved here in the bad old days of Aught Six.

Yeah. Despite the headline, I haven't been forced into a mandatory gay reeducation camp and it is almost as if I haven't been holocausted in any discernible way. What's with that?

She got this really big bouffant earlier today and if I don't, she'll think I don't like it.

It's still 2015 out here in the foothills, but Happy New Year to all the Eastern Coastern Wonkets.

In the spirit of this post, I -- a 68 year old straight (pretty sure by now) white guy -- will tell you a short story about my millennial offspring and their friends. These children are children of Silicon Valley, so mostly somewhere between "moderately well-off / nice head-start" and "already richer than fuck", with a flavoring of "Ooops, you can get in trouble with the law".

They're in their twenties, and because of differences in life history have varied political and religious views. Some of them are a little libertarian on economic matters (: They are, however, essentially unanimous in the opinion that everyone's gender identification and preferences are private business, and that marriage is only a concern of those getting married.

Happy New Year, Evan. On gender civil rights, I think we're getting somewhere.

Is there a gay sub-sect that listens to the Good News of Finntroll, or of the Red Army Choir, or of Polka, because, I only like two Elton John songs, and it's all a little flat without accordions.
