Gay Marriage to Alfred: Your Thoughts

that doesn't change the fact that, in terms of legal reasoning, this is a very stupid argument that opens their appeal up to a slam-dunk counter appeal if it is accepted

not at all, but the idea that someone cares so much about this that they'd argue something that so obviously fails on every level but one is pretty amusing

it just seems like a weird thing to oppose on this level since it's going to happen at some point no matter what anyone does about it

it displays a fundamental misunderstanding of jurisprudence. the principle they are arguing simply cannot be applied to the law. extend the reasoning for a bit - should the white justices that struck down segregation laws have recused themselves because they were white? should married hetero judges recuse themselves from cases regarding gay marriage because they have an interest in "preserving" the institution of marriage? it's idiotic.

I mean sure it's FUNNY, but they're also wasting my hard-earned tax dollars with this nonsense that any half-witted first year law student could demolish

First year law student? How about, say, a 7th grader? I'm guessing even the Prop 8 supporters know how stupid this is!

they're also wasting my hard-earned tax dollars

Actually not entirely, in that the state via Brown and Harris aren't defending this thing, it's Pugno and his band of lunkheads. (In that they're taking up state/federal court time, yes, but personally I've been enjoying watching them stretch themselves even thinner.)

In that they're taking up state/federal court time, yes

yeah this is what I was referring to

Shakey, if they keep making nonsensical and desperate looking arguments, conceivably it will only strengthen the arguments for marriage equality. It will also be a delightful cudgel to use on all the 'fiscal responsibility' right-wingers, too.

word. i'm 100% in favor of these nitwits blowing their $$ and any sympathy they might have been getting from moderates

even though i'm not really all gung-ho about gay marriage or whatever, this shit re: Walker is just completely WTF.

im for gay marriage

Awesome! Wanna get married?

i dont know you but what do you look like?

UM EXCUSE ME, ALFRED AND BRODIE....

Who wants to marry me? I flip a mean ham omelet.

Gay polyandry: your thoughts

I can offer Jesse ham. What can you give me, brodie?

he'll carry your bags

Minnesota back on the chopping block. Starting to consider exit plan.

Huh?

would go for a 4-way marriage with some of you guys under the right terms, just sayin'

Meaning I'll move away if the amendment (which is probably getting to the ballot) passes.

Only if you accept Billy Wilder as a vulgarian, Morbs.

Didn't realize there was one up for consideration

Wtf was I doing back then interrupting delicate dowry negotiations?

You made Alfred lose interest and turn to the arms of brodie. So he chooses a sock and I'm stuck still making love to a sock of another kind.

Mods, rename thread "Marriage to Alfred: Your Thoughts." Thanks!

got it

forks i think that was a joke

marriage to Alfred is serious business

Alfred, do I have to get rid of my wooden souvenir plaque from Che's gravesite?

I'm just hoping this new title attracts some odd Batman fetishists.

presuming this means alexander o'neal will be played at the wedding ceremony, then i am pro-marriage to alfred

Don't criticise my lifestyle...

btw I would totally marry Lord Soto, despite his habit of treating a hairbrush as a microphone.

Bristles facing or away?

(says a lot about a person imho)

Alfred, do I have to get rid of my wooden souvenir plaque from Che's gravesite?

If you sharpen it and drive it into Fidel's heart, you'll have won the heart of a community.

Don't you mean Raul's heart?

Nota bene: Jake Gyllenhaal and I are on the outs.

um I love Alfred and wish him the best in his new life and all but this is going to make searching for this as the gay marriage thread (which I do periodically when something newsworthy happens) sorta impossible

I am sure mod will change it back after the ceremony

If you look for me, I'll be there.

xpost

how's this

I should move this thread over to my OKCupid profile.

hahaha

I was just playing around while waiting for some articles to be copy-edited. I'll put the thread title back the way it was unless you guys say not to.

I think 'gay marriage' in the title makes it searchable and we don't want to jinx alfred, do we?

lol works for me

Mazel tov, Alfred!
