As The Art Museum Goes, So Goes The Nation?

Gay marriage is not exactly sweeping the nation, but the Philadelphia Museum of Art isn't waiting around for progress. In all its correspondence to our home lately, the museum has quietly settled the matter.

An excerpt...

Dear Mr. and Mr. Dobrin,

As a member of the Philadelphia Museum of Art, we know you have a
special appreciation of arts and cultural events...

For the record, we're registered at Tiffany & Co.

Wow! Gotta love this!

Jim:

Tiffany? We registered at Five Below.

Monica H:

I think this is great, especially since I've had the opposite heterosexual experience at the museum. My husband and I have different last names. Despite the fact that I've always been the one writing the checks for our membership, the names on our cards have, over the years, evolved from having both our names on them, to Mr. and Mrs. Both-Our-Names, to Mr. and Mrs. Just-His-Name, without my ever changing anything....
