My husband has always been, as I say, a "manly man". He would drink beer, cuss, do stupid crap with 'the guys' and wasn't about to associate with the 'homos'. He has held that stance for a long time. Oh, he doesn't drink beer anymore and rarely does stupid crap with 'the guys' - he's matured. But it wasn't until this weekend that I pronounce him EVOLVED.
I informed him of New York's voting to legalize same sex marriage and he said, "Good for them." Now 14 years ago I would have fallen over from shock. Hell, 3 years ago I would have! But see, he's a changed man and all it really took was two girls and a baby. :)
My friend Erin moved near us and I wanted him and my kids to get to know her and her family. She and her partner Lisa moved just about 8 minutes from us and they brought with them their darling baby. He was hesitant at first, but the baby won him over first and now he just loves the girls. They've opened his eyes to the fact that they are just as in love as we are and it's a shame that they can't legalize it and have those little extras like shared health insurance and both be legal parents to the baby.
I pronounce my man EVOLVED and it made me fall even more in love with him. Oh happy day!
