I have to say, I was really proud to be a Canadian when our supreme court endorsed gay marriage, and dismayed to be an Albertan when our pundits came out against it.
I was ASTOUNDED at the results in the American election re: Gay Marriage. Don’t you guys have something more pressing concerns to worry about than the chance that gay and lesbian americans might be afforded the equal opportunity to be as miserable as their straight counterpart? Lol!
That being said, when my first gay/lesbian friend gets married here in the conservative west, I’ll be there with bells on to ring in the joy.
BTW, I heard a potent argument on the radio today. Tell the repubs that Gay Marriage = More Money. They’ll jump right in, “ill-fiiting” parts and all. (As an aside, if the parts fit so wrongly for gay men, tell me why straight men want to have anal sex with their gf’s? They make no sense, these conservative jackasses)
Once the Daily Show showed some asscake that was attempting to prove that homosexuality wasn’t natural by the example of extension cords. Extension cords don’t work, see, if you put the male end next to another male end. Before seeing that, I was in favor of gay rights but god damn if he didn’t show me the light! If we’d only look to household appliances for all our moral and ethical concerns, America would have a much brighter future.
gobear, SolGrundy, somehow I just knew you guys would come in here and make me feel better. You’re my new heroes.
You’re preachin’ to the choir, sister. Most of us here at the SDMB were equally astounded (and shocked, and dismayed) when anti-gay legislation passed in eleven states this past election. We have a long way to go…
How did he show you the light if he was using two male ends of the extension cord? I thought the whole idea was that the two male ends together couldn’t show you the light.
And according to Franklin Graham (Billy’s son), the love between two gay people is invalid because they just haven’t seen the light yet. He actually compares them to people who used to think the Earth was flat:
It’s the “Natural Law” part that always gets to me…I mean, if that’s what one’s concern is, how many other unnatural stuff are we doing every day, as a matter of course? To be a little poetic, I’m a human of european ancestry living on the west coast of North America, in a room lit by artificial lightning, with a “wolf” the size of my arm sleeping happily on my lap, and right now I’m talking to people all around the planet through a glowing piece of glass.
I just think it’s a little late for us to decide to settle for “nature.” If we wanted to, maybe we should have started 500,000 years ago when some cave-dweller figured out how to use fire.
