New York activist Reverend Billy Talen led straight couples in a mass “unwedding” on Valentine's Day in solidarity with gay couples denied marriage rights.
Sarah Silverman made the same pledge on The View last week, saying getting married right now "is like joining a country club that wouldn't allow Blacks or Jews."
We all know that Christmas is far too commercial. I mean, Charlie Brown told us that years ago. Yet most of us continue to play the same put-that-reindeer-on-my-credit-card games every year, spending money on gifts that our loved ones don't really want or need.
It's hard to imagine Timothy Geithner taking advice from an iconoclast dressed in a white suit, clerical collar and Elvis-inspired hair, but the Reverend Billy may be on to something.
