2 Gryphon Is Engaged, you guys

[Jim Demintia]

Speed-withdrawal assault comedian 2 Gryphon has gotten engaged to his (extant, apparently) boyfriend, and it was suitably exhibitionist:

Just proposed to my sweetheart @Toasttherabbit in front of about a thousand people. He said yes. - @2_gryphon

Noted roach furry Sam Conway popped a boner, or he would have, if not for the years of sake-infused Corn Flake breakfasts. Too bad 2 is still in LA, pursuing a comedy career shouting at people about male nerds having awkward sex with each other, and gay marriage is currently illegal there, thanks to Caleeforneeuh's illustrious multidecade experiment in citizen governance.

Is this going to be a thing now? Fandom celebrities proposing during closing ceremonies? This is only, like, the fourth time in the past three years it's happened.

Well, in fairness they disallowed marriage at Anthrocon years ago, so it's the next best thing.

It happened this year in the Artists' and Dealers' reception, too. All of a sudden, clapping. (I guess the four types of cheese and the chocolate brownies put people in a good mood.)

The thought of approximately 1000 people caring (let alone being overjoyed) that some nerdy looking quote-unquote comedian with purple glasses proposed to some likely equally-nerdy looking guy at a furry convention and OMG HE SAID YES YOU GUYS isn't really "the next best thing" to anything at all.

2 is an attention whore, and his John list probably covers 75% of the fandom.  I'll never understand that.
