Separation of church and state is a big issue here in American gay communities. Some folks want to be married at city hall, others in front of their local congregation. But when talking about where same-sex marriage would be appropriate, we’re often talking about Christian or Jewish marriage commitments, glossing over the struggles of practicing Muslims in the gay community.

Around the Frameline offices and around town, we totally use “sir” or “ma’am” as verbs: “I totally got sirred/ma’amed at Walgreens over lunch.”
