I saw it a few days ago. I laughed. It is a bit of a toothless threat though, unless every gay guy married 7 or 8 women. ---

What if I want bacon to go with my morning quiche? Will a gay man make perfectly crisp bacon for me? Cause I’d marry that in a minute. Plus, my wardrobe needs updating. ---

I laughed, too, and I was also reflecting on the truth of it. We’re going to see Wicked next week. My SO is not being dragged or anything, he has culture and class, but he is only going because I requested it for a birthday present. If I married a gay guy I could go see all of the shows I wanted to see! And some of the guys in the vid were really hot. Especially the tall blond one with the charming smirk. ---

I’m in Albany NY, and I’m going to see it at [Proctor’s Theatre](http://www.proctors.org/) in Schenectady, which is a pretty famous and old theatre. I’d love to go see it with you! MN is a bit far tho. ---

My SO is not being dragged or anything, he has culture and class, but he is only going because I requested it for a birthday present. If I married a gay guy I could go see all of the shows I wanted to see! I must point out that I’m a straight guy who likes musical theatre. I DID have to be dragged to see THE LION KING, but that’s because of my hatred of all thinks Mousish. And my gay friend Brian, a fine fellow in most respects, has an inexplicable – nay, insane – dislike of all things theatre-related. ---

Oh, there are guys who like it, absolutely. It just leans more on the other side of the spectrum. I wouldn’t go see Lion King either. But not because I hate Disney. ---

So wait, let me see if I’ve got this right. You’re going to take them off our hands, financially support them, go to see fabulous shows and chick-flicks, put up with the mood swings, listen to the endless me-centred wittering and actually enjoy the reality TV shows, shoe shopping, diet plans and celebrity gossip? In short, the only time we get to see them is when they’re desperate for a dose of cock from someone who isn’t physically nauseated by the sight, smell and touch of their boobs and pussies? …And you’re selling this as a _threat_? :dubious: ---

I was working the polls on Election Day for Question 6 (Maryland’s same-sex marriage ballot question). There were a couple people there working the other side of the fence. We were primarily cordial to each other, but I did briefly get into it a couple times with one guy (who was a priest apparently, and at the Church where our State rep who cosponsored the law goes!). At one point he was giving his pitch to a young woman who clearly wasn’t buying it. His coup de grace was that in places with SSM, men areas willing to get married. Who knows if its true, as if it mattered. But as she was walking away he said (defeatedly), “We’ll, if you ever want to get married…” So let me get this straight. You’re telling women they need to vote to maintain a discriminatory regime because her only hope is to marry a guy who _desparately_ wants to bone other dudes, but he has to settle for a woman because that’s the only choice he’s got? Yowza. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/straight-guys-support-gay-marriage-or-well-marry-your-girlfriends/641021.md?page=2)
