re: #129 calochortus

We’ve been redefining marriage for centuries. However, apparently arranged marriages actually do fairly well-at least currently in cultures where it is traditional-which I suspect means you don’t absolutely have to go with your parents’ choice of a mate, there is some choice.

I have a few friends from arranged marriage traditions. One is gay, another is gay in a pre-Prop 8 gay marriage. But another friend I think was more annoyed with having to field questions from dunces about why it didn’t really bother him (in his culture, it’s initiated by aunts.) I figure hey, if it means participating in something your family has done since the year 7,777 BCE and it’s the “in” to the rest of the culture, then why not.
