About time... again. Hopefully this one will stick, instead of being nulled within a few months like the last one.

Apparently of the roughly 100,000 gay couples in California, half of them plan to wed in the next three years. That's sort of mind-boggling.

I'm happy for the gay couples, and I wish them the best of luck on being married, because haha, they're going to need it.

So does anyone's marriage feel less sanctified today?

To have to wait till you're in your 80s just to marry. Man. *sniffle*

Also, check out the second picture in the little slide show - how cool does she look at 84 in her red sweater, matching lipstick and hip glasses?

Oh shit disaster my parents are already feeling the bonds of their marriage loosen. : (


Oh wait they've been divorced for 9 years.

The effects of letting gays marry can reach into the past, soon people will be fading away as their parents relationships fall apart before they were born.

:eek:

Yes! Oh and not because of the gay couples but because of bigots who think that only heterosexual marriages are acceptable.

Then again. Why should someone else's marriage hurt my own CIVIL UNION. We're all human, we're all equal.

Does that mean that, eventually, God actually will create Adam and Steve ?

The amounts of melanin in my skin say otherwise, brah.

That doesn't change that I believe we're all equal, dude!

Your liberal-socialist crap won't work on me man. I know the bible.

Seriously, chill and smoke a spliff. Come back when you've allowed yourself to just be free. There is a world beyond your Bible. Inhale deeply and don't be afraid of what is out there.

they don't look like the lesbians in my mind:mad:

Erm... I think that was sarcasm....

:fluffle:

Aw, they look so cute and happy. Love stories with happy endings are the best. :)

ETA: Ooh, and I was right, they were the couple whose photograph I remember seeing in the paper when they got married last time around, before those marriages were voided. Honestly, how could anyone look at a photo like this and think anything other than "awwwwwwwwwww"?

I believe God already created Adam and Steve when he created the world.

Congratulations to gay couples in California. Hope the rest of America will follow your step.

And as punishment, when Adam ate the apple, God turned Steve into Eve. :p

I had a mental image of them... consummating the marriage. I then immediately projectile vomited.

By thinking about the wedding night. *shudders*

But yea, I'm happy for them, that they're finally able to get married. :)

Steve fall into cursed spring, where many year ago young girl drown; die horrible death. Now anyone who fall into spring take on form of girl.

But will they have the right to divorce?

Divorce is one man one woman only and it has been like that ever since Henry VIII permitted it, gay divorce is not natural God created Henry and Catherine not Henry and Cathal.

:headbang::headbang::headbang::headbang::headbang:you're CELEBRATING this perversion? What happened to the right to CHOOSE? The PEOPLE didnt have a say, instead 4 JUDGES made the decision FOR US!

See - that is the wonderful thing about having a constitution. Even if a majority thinks it is completely fine to DENY certain population groups rights readily available to others, their wishes are not automatically granted.

Ain't it wonderful ?

Actually, everyone who had a gay marriage did CHOOSE to get married.

What you're mad about, apparently, is that you can't force your choices on other people?

Right the hell on, man. Well said. (Mine have been divorced for 25 years.)

HEY, CALM THE FUCK DOWN, PAL.

Okay then.

What CHOICE is it of YOURS, in the first place? How DARE you insist that two people in love have no right to marriage, and do it in such a childish manner. Those "two-thirds" of people you keep yammering about were overturned by your own Supreme Court, get it? That court whose job it is to determine which laws -- NO MATTER HOW MANY SUPPORT THEM -- are constitutional or unconstitutional.

Now, if people who feel as you do decide to amend the California state constitution, then you'll have a leg to stand on. Admittedly, a very bigoted, narrow-minded and childish leg, but a leg nonetheless.

Until that moment, however, you are as incorrect as incorrect can be. Your karma for posting such tripe will be veeeery interesting, indeed. You'd better hang on tight, junior.

You're cute. Between the complete and utter misunderstanding of how our government works, to the hysterical idea that the "people" were denied the right to choose by not being able to take away others' rights, to the back-to-back assertions that you "have nothing against gays" but that gay marriage is "filth and perversion," to the overabundance of angry smilies - yeah, you're a cute little troll, aren't you?

Most people in Brazil think bigots shouldn't have the right to reproduce.

So, if you ever come here, by your logic, you'll have to cut off your own penis.

Feeding it to the dogs is optional. See? Choice.

For that matter, do most people in the US think so too? If that's the case you have a castration you need to tend to.

:headbang::headbang::headbang::headbang::headbang:

Heavy metal concert?

you're CELEBRATING this perversion?

Weddings generally are celebratory.

What happened to the right to CHOOSE?

It was finally applied equally to same-sex couples.

The PEOPLE didnt have a say, instead 4 JUDGES made the decision FOR US! WHAT THE HELL?!?!?!

Actually, the California constitution made the decision for you - by blocking you from writing inequality into your law. The judges were just the interpreters of said constitution.

THEY dont have the right to do that! the people don't want this in California, when we joined the Union, TWO THIRDS voted NO on gay marriages!

(a) Some people obviously do want it, given the number of same-sex marriages that have already been performed and licenses that have already been bought.

(b) Why should a bunch of people who have no interest in the subject decide what others can and cannot do? How are you harmed if, say, a lesbian couple who have been together for over 50 years get the same legal recognition their straight counterparts could have had all this time?

I have nothing against gays, what im MAD about is that the people didnt CHOOSE to have gay marriages.

In other words, you supposedly have nothing against homosexuals, but you think "the people" should be able to deny them equal protection under the law.

THEY TOOK THAT FREEDOM FROM US!

Oh noes! You don't have the freedom to choose a minority and refuse to treat them with equality.

How awful to you.

if gays want to get MARRIED, THEN GO TO MASSACHUSSETS! DONT BRING THAT FILTH and PERVERSION IN HERE IF WE DONT WANT IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah, nothing against homosexuals here. Just calling their relationships "filth and perversion".

So, let me see if I have this down pat...

"Wah, wah, wah, wah, a minority got rights and I don't want them to have rights because then I can't continually ensure that they're miserable?"

Gotcha.

If you want to live in a world where that is possible, I hear Iran has no homosexuals. It would be the perfect place for you.
