Darren Hayes Truly, Madly Married

Darren Hayes, the Australian singer who has done his part to make the world a gayer, better place, has Myspace-blogged some of his thoughts on the passing of Prop 8:

This is a picture of Richard and I recently in Paris.[photo by Maggz Appleton] We're married. Some folks in California decided to change the American Constitution to legislate that this right should not be given to gay people in California. Presumably because of what gay people will do to the definition of marriage.

Just so we are clear, this is our definition of marriage:
We want to grow old together. We love each other so much that we want to share our lives together, forever. We are monogamous. We're faithful. We're in it for the long haul. Sometimes we argue over who's turn it is to make a cup of tea, but for the most
part we are soul mates.

If, God forbid, one of us should fall ill, one of us will take care of the other one. If, God forbid, one of us should pass away suddenly, we would want our estate to go to the one of us who survives. We'd like other stuff too, like, you know, the same tax breaks as other married couples and the civil rights you would extend any other committed couple in the free world. And to be able to be respected and receive the same rights that everyone else has.

But mostly, we just want to grow old together.

Who knew I was so romantic? Between this and the Boyzone video, I am one power ballad away from calling up my ex (any of them) and proposing.
