This may be obvious, which makes it appropriate to write about here since stating the obvious is our specialty — but what is with the debate about gay marriage? Look, first of all, I’m married: other people’s sex lives are none of my business, with the possible exception of my wife. If someone wants to get married — anyone — they should have their head examined maybe, maybe not be so closely related that their offspring vote Republican or have twelve toes on each hand and so on, but if two people of the same sex want to have the same legal protection as everyone else, that doesn’t dilute the sanctity of anything.
I’m with you. Went to “my first gay wedding” last Saturday and it was all *woohoo* nice :)
Thank you. Those few words mean a great deal.
Here, here!
‘Xactly. For some reason they still see the point, so let them go ahead…
Are you insane? Don’t you understand that the actions of some people I have never met, and will never meet, have an incredible influence on my health and well being? If I learned nothing else from high school, I learned that it is never to late to totally overeact to situations that have nothing to do with me. If I can’t stop someone from doing what they want to do, for no other reason than because I don’t like it, then what is the use of being a spoiled, immature conceited teenager?
If that reasoning doesn’t make sense, I might also be able to channel some fundamentalist reasoning for you, but the whiny spoiled teenagers are easier to contact in the astral plane (or in the mall, whichever).
I’m also available for bar mitzvahs, childrens parties, and fund-raisers. Thanks! I’ll be here all week. Tip your servers.
