Did someone say Symposium? Gay Greeks Get Married on Tilos

I think Uncle Vic and I were just talking about this island.

Anyway, when you get to the part in the article about how it's the 1982 law recognizing civil unions that's the big loophole for gays to get married-- It doesn't specify that marriage is between a man and a woman, keep in mind that it was my saving grace. How, you ask? It's the same law that the Greek consulate in NY (back in 2002) asked for 100 bucks to apply to my situation -- retroactively-- to recognize the "legitimacy" of my birth and thereby grant me the Greek citizenship I get from my dad. Because my parents were not married in a church (That's what you get for marrying a Jew.) and Greece didn't recognize civil unions at that time, I was officially illegitimate in the eyes of the Greek state until then. Also, that was the first time they had ever had to do that for anyone. They had to go get the law books and look it up.
