In a few days from now, just after the world celebrates love with roses and chocolates, FJ and I will be celebrating our love too. We’ve been married for three years you see… I’ve never been married for three years before, so we have huge reason to celebrate. And even though people still refer to our wedding as a gay wedding (I don’t really mind, but it does remind me that our wedding was “not the norm” and definitely not “traditional”), I decided I would see what tradition dictated I buy my husband to celebrate a third anniversary. I know that the first year is paper (so a card suffices) and year two is equally banal, so by year three the creators of this traditional anniversary present thing must have surely started getting more creative.
So before I whipped onto Google to find out what FJ should be buying me I should be buying FJ, I attempted a few guesses. I know diamonds, silver and gold come later, so following from paper and whatever a second year anniversary is must be something exotic like tin or an exotic (yet inexpensive) gem. But alas, I was wrong. And shocked! It’s leather. Clearly these people were declaring anniversary gifts that are totally insensitive to the vegans, but definitely right up a gay man’s alley. Ahem. I mean which gay man hasn’t donned a pair of tight gay black leather pants to a night club?
So I decided to google “gay leather”. Let’s just say I’m glad I never searched for it at work. I never knew so many gay men had celebrated three year anniversaries. There they were in harnesses and collars. Some had straps around their arms and other body parts. There were lovely little hats that mostly men in moustaches wore.
It seems like there are a lot of us three year gay married types out there. And some are so proud they even take to the streets to declare their three year marriage leather love. Hundreds of them in leather, kissing and hugging and loving. Now that’s gay pride.
So I’ve ordered a harness and a leather ring from a leather anniversary site I found. They asked if the ring I wanted was small, medium or large (which is strange because my ring finger was measured in alphabet letters when we ordered our wedding rings). I went for a medium. Let’s just hope it fits these chubby ol’ fingers of mine.
