As far as gay marriage is concerned, no gay ever married me and ever will, so I don't care. It's not any of my business what people do as long as they ain't doin' it to me or mine. If two consenting adults (not children, not dogs, not box turtles, none of which are capable of consent) want a marriage license for whatever reason, well, that's their business, not mine, whether they're male, female, bisexual, metrosexual, homosexual, heterosexual, black, white, yellow, orange, or friggin' Martians from outer space. There's all sorts of folks out there, and they ain't hurtin' me one bit doing whatever they're doing in the privacy of their own bedroom, living room, in a chair, on the table, on the floor, on a towel by the door, on the sofa or on the kitchen counter, so why should I care?
But I guess my tagline applies here. There's some bitter closetted probably gay folks who just cannot stand the fact that there's some other people in this world having fun. Gah! The hypocrisy of the party of Larry Craig and Jeff Gannon lecturing folks on how immoral gay sex is, it burns, it burns!

I don't care what they do either, as long as they keep it out of my face.
ReplyDeleteGood gays, that is natural gays, stay quite and lead peaceful lives. The psychologically screwed up ones make a lot of noise and make it hard for everyone.
They should just shut the hell up.
Could you please enlighten me on those gays that make things hard for you bbc? I`d really be interested to hear about the immense distress caused by those terrible unruly fags!!!

As the late, Great American Philosopher Lenny Briscoe said, "Of course gays should be allowed to marry. Why shouldn't they be as miserable as the rest of us?"
ReplyDeleteHaving said that, the Portland (ME) Press-Herald had a story a few weeks back on some of the gay couples who had married in Mass. One couple, living in Rhode Island, could not get a divorce there because RI doesn't recognize their Mass marriage, but to get a divorce in Mass, they would have to establish a one-year residency. The partner seeking the dicorce was pissing and moaning about the inconvenience (too damn bad, sweetie, now you know what men go through).
And, Anonymous, I think the gays BBC was referring to are the activist ones, who -- on occasion -- seem to go far out of their way to flaunt their orientation. I don't give a darn if you're gay or straight, but PDA (Public Display of Affection), especially over-the-top PDA, is unnecesary, whether it's two guys kissing on the sidewalk, two girls kissing on the sidewalk, or a guy and a girl kissing on the sidewalk.
Out in MI, I saw a gay couple walking down the street - one guy had his hand down the *front* of the other guy's pants. That was WAY too much information.
If two consenting adults...want a marriage license for whatever reason, well, that's their business, not mine...
ReplyDeleteWhat about 3 consenting adults? With all the talk about polygamy these days, i'm actually convinced they deserve the right to marry more than gays. So why aren't gays supporting that effort as well? I think it's hypocritical.
I have no real problems with gay marriage, but I also think it's going to open the door to other stuff and polygamy is the next likely candidate. I just wish people would admit to it.
The difference is that gays are a discrete group of people with a biological difference (and don't give me that "gays choose to be gay" nonsense, I grew up with a number of people in the Deep South who ended up "coming out" in the end, and there's no fucking *WAY* they chose to get all the shit piled on their heads that they got piled on their heads from middle-school onward for not being "manly" enough). Being gay is sort of like black skin or blue eyes or red hair. So if we grant marriage licenses to two people with black skin or blue eyes or red hair, we should also grant marriage licenses to two people with Teh Gay.
ReplyDeletePolygamy, on the other hand, doesn't have anything to do with genetics. Polygamy is illegal in America regardless of whether you're gay, white, black, pink, or friggin' martian for that matter. Claims that the polygamy ban discriminates against a discrete genetic group of people are as laughable as claims that anti-burglary laws discriminate against burglars. Burglary is illegal regardless of your race, color, gender, or sexual orientation, as is polygamy. So there is no discrimination involved here, and you are creating a false "slippery slope" out of thin air. You are making a false analogy, comparing apples and oranges. What next, you bring up fuckin' box turtles and dogs, already?!
And if you want to go back to the whole "gay is a lifestyle, not a gene" thing again, I mean, c'mon. Do you really believe Larry Craig *chose* to be gay? Do you really believe that Ted Haggard *chose* to be gay? Do you really believe that Mark Foley *chose* to be gay? No. They just are, no matter how much in denial about it they are. Ted and Larry should have the right to marry even though they have Teh Gay, just as people with red hair or black skin should have the right to marry even though they have Teh Red or Teh Black. But Ted and Larry and Mark should not have the right to marry just because they think a gay threesome is more fun than a gay twosome, because as with burglary we ban polygamy for *all* Americans -- including gay ones, straight ones, red headed ones, and black-skinned ones.
