My wife forwarded this to me just now, and I find it really rings true. A beautiful message
As an aside, I actually know Terry, and met Dan once (Dan was an hilarious sex columnist in the Seattle Independent paper). My wife (gf at the time) was had a co-worker who had gone to college with some gay guys, and she hung out with the group of them. That group was friends with Terry, who worked at our local video store, and so I got to know Terry. And at a party one night I met Dan, a real thrill for me because I greatly admired his edgy and very humorous writing. So, not much of a personal connection, but it's there. Circa 1994-5
Oh, and I'd HIGHLY recommend a book by Dan Savage about adopting their child: The Kid: What Happened After My Boyfriend and I Decided to Go Get Pregnant
