Article about m/m in the Globe and Mail

This article was going to go out in December, but then they decided to run it near Valentine's Day, which is quite sweet.  There are a few inaccuracies in it, I have to say: I'm NOT 47, although I wish I was, I'm a few years older—and I haven't been married to a man for 15 years. God knows where they got that from. For the record, not that it's really anyone's business, I was married for a year in 1988, and that was only because I had to wait a year before I could start divorce proceedings—he'd been unfaithful around six months so I chucked him out!

Anyway—it's not a bad article, despite the usual slanted nonsense and inaccuracies. The comments are rather amusing though. They range from WHAT WOULD JESUS THINK? to YUK to HURRAH!.

Alex Beecroft and Heidi Cullinan and I are quoted.

You are married to your work... *g* Either that, or Lucius and/or Severus is a werecat! (Bet you're regretting having them taken to the vet now, aren't you? *g*)

And of course you are 47. It's there in black and white, so it must be true! Anyway, I'm 36. With 21 years' added experience...

I wouldn't think that 47 was worth lying about, really. I think 39 is better, but no one who'd seen me would beleive that. :D 21 plus tax. only now it's more like capital gains tax.
