Yup, such teases. Pfft! I can’t wait to hear the new stuff.

Also: NOOO! Now I’m tempted to watch the new Heroes. Perhaps this will fill the void of gay story-lines on TV, not. Uhg.

Such a tease… still, I’m excited to hear songs they’ve written together. This is going to be a long 4+ months.

Why do I have no memory of this? I remember blithely accepting the joy of The Sims being allowed to marry people of the same sex in 2003 — but I did have expansion packs, like the pets one. probs that’s what did it; you know how gays always want to get involved with animals.

It’s also possible that I never actually got that far, because none of my characters ever liked each other well enough to do anything besides move in together. Babies were expensive, so I never had one of those. Much like my own life perhaps.

I think in 1 and 2 you could get them to be married if you downloaded the hacks/user-made expansions, but it wasn’t officially part of the game. Also, from what I’ve read, if you got 2 same-sex characters married in Sims 2, your points/meters would go down… but I never tried it so…

Anyhow, for anyone else who is interested in why this annoys me … hm … brb …

OK, I was about to quote my own badly written essay about my addiction to The Sims but then I realized I didn’t mention in the essay that my Sims only dated other women. But I did talk about their shared bedroom!

Luckily, the fine homos in the comment section at Queerty (citing this article) have pointed out:
–
- The article’s wrong on one count: in the Sims 1, characters could only move in together, but in the Sims 2, they could have what was euphemistically termed a “union.” They could have a ceremony and subsequently adopt kids, but it wasn’t called a “marriage.” Kudos to Maxis!
–
-actually, to further nerd out the conversation this article is also wrong in that the game wasn’t even developed by Maxis.. It was fully made by EA Redwood Shores.
–
-Actually, it was the Sims 1 where gays could only move in. In the Sims 2, they could only get civil unions.
–
-Gay Sims could get married since the first game. If you didn’t bother to learn how to download things to customize your game that’s your fault.

ta-DA!

I can’t believe you forgot to note The Sims 3 FINALLY legalized gay marriage!
