Fort Worth Councilman Joel Burns is fine, but his partner, JD Angle, slipped on the ice. He shattered his ankle and underwent more than three hours of surgery yesterday, Feb. 4.
That was also Burns’ birthday. His last report on Facebook was that Angle is still in the hospital and recovering.
“Surgeon said it was a bit more complicated than they planned but everything is put back together. Lots of physical therapy ahead,” Burns wrote.

So when Sarah Palins Husband breaks and slips on ice, is that news too?

I wish a quick recovery to JD. He and Joel are great guys and such a positive influence on couples (gay and straight). I hope they can return to their normal life very soon.
