Of the gay couples I’ve known, most of the truly commited would do a better job of marriage than every single hetero couple I’ve known, because those who’ve considered it have also known the obstacles they face to get there. There is something beautiful about that level of commitment.
I’d love to see equality between gay and straight people. The first part would be banning heterosexual marriage. Would solve a lot of problems, I reckon.
My BIL is on his 4th relationship. He’s been married 3 times and this is his 4th relationship but they’re only living together so far. Each marriage lasts about 10 years so by the time this one tanks, he’ll be ready to retire. :rolleyes:
DMark , I’m wondering what, if any, explanation your brother gives for his repeat marriages and divorces. Does he see 8 as a surprising number? Congrats on the longeivity of your union!
Ok, how’s this? Your success in a gay relationship just shines the spotlight all the brighter on your brother’s failures, causing further erosion in public confidence about heterosexual marriage?
Eh, I guess that doesn’t really hang together logically, does it?
Nope, I got nothing. Sorry.
Congrats on your long and successful relationship!
See? This proves the insideousness of the Gay Movement. They will stay in a committed relationship until they die, just to try to make the Straights look bad! Buncha commies.
Wow. A Silver Anniversary. So what are you planning to get your SO for a present?
Well geez, that’s easy. If people see many successful committed gay marriages, straight men will start to think “Hey, I don’t understand women. Maybe I should just marry a guy. After all, my neighbor Fred is kind of cute. And he treats me better than my wife.”
And then BAM! Western civilization collapses as two straight men both decide to go gay at the same time and no one can figure out which of them gets the toaster for converting the other.
I have one question, though. I can see marrying a guy who’d been married once before, or maybe even twice. If he’s got more than 3 ex- or late wives, I’m going to start getting suspicious. What were wives 4 through 8 thinking? Something tells me your brother ain’t exactly a “til death do us part” kind of guy!
