![]() ![]() By the time we could actually get legally married for real, our children were in high school and we’d been a couple for 38 years. We had already jumped on the Domestic Partnership bandwagon, and then on the Civil Union bandwagon. ![]() The real point is that my husband and I married in 2013, when it became legal in New Jersey, USA. I mean, our kids are surely imperfect because of us, but not THAT bad. First, I have to make it clear that if Luc and/or Oliver had been raised by me and my husband (47 years now, since university), they would not be as messed up as they are, because gay couples have learned to be parents in different, new ways. ![]() It’s also about a spectacularly failed marriage (Luc’s parents), and a successful but toxic marriage (Oliver’s parents). In fact, there’s a consciously “Four Weddings and a Funeral” format here that I appreciated. This book is all about marriage, and more specifically about weddings. I liked it even more than I liked “Boyfriend Material.” In order to fully explain why I liked it, and being an entitled old white cis gay man who could be Luc O’Donnell’s and/or Oliver Blackwood’s father, I feel forced to interject my distinctly American and elder-gay perspective. ![]() Published by Sourcebooks Casablanca, 2022 Husband Material (sequel to Boyfriend Material) ![]()
