Gay Marriage to Alfred: Your Thoughts

I quoted exactly what he said

From a piece that already stripped the quote of essential context, prefaced by a statement that makes it sound like he "shit in the wedding punch bowl," followed up with suggesting that marriage is "bourgeois."

Also your ceaseless harping on the "celebrate or die" stance that you insist "gays" (who are those gays??) are pushing - you really need some examples to back up that allegation.

you

I mean, there is a major and obvious difference between "celebrate or die" and "I'd like to celebrate this victory, small though it is, and when you come around hanging your crepe as usual, I am going to tell you that you seem like an condescending, zealous killjoy."

I don't give a shit if you celebrate, but you clearly have an obsession with whether others do.

Thanks, Doctor. I hate to see errant political priorities based on narcissism. Also, fuck off.

Oh my god do you suck, Morbs.

He shat all over my Facebook page for linking to an editorial defining the equality situation, Eric.

T3d's resistance to the marriage movement makes political sense. Yours is born strictly from your inability to accept anyone else being happy.

...which is my initial confusion about the Facebook dumbing-down of the term "friends" turned out to be well founded.

So many diagnoses today!

My "resistance to the marriage movement" is pretty much the same as t3d's afaik.

T3d's resistance to the marriage movement makes political sense. Yours is born strictly from your inability to accept anyone else being happy.

A million times this. I partially disagree with T3d, but at least he is cogent and rational.

I want maximum happiness for everybody. BAN MARRIAGE

Almost funny.

I also don't disagree that you and T3d both share the same core argument, that there are "more important things to focus on." It's just that they're different "important things." I'm still not clear on what T3d's are, but your "more important thing" is clearly making sure everyone realizes how wrong they are to feel any happiness at all in our current situation.

EXACTLY, just like electing a black president who's garbage.

My girlfriend has a great marriage proposal: everybody should be allowed exactly one legitimate marriage to whomever they want. After that, domestic partnership, simple as can be.

So happy your girlfriend proposed to you!

Yes, clearly the fact that we have a garbage black president has everything to do with how happy we should be that our friends are considered a little more equal in the eyes of NY law.

I knew somebody was going to do that. xxp

no Eric, I'm talking about MY feelings watching both "celebrations."

"a little more equal," ponder that (you might as well bring it up to Larry Kramer since you love him today)

I call it trollin'.

Yeah, I'm just gonna go ahead and SB you.

I need to work my mojo on Jake then.

then you'll hafta buy the drinks for gbx in Minneapolis next summer

xp

leave me out of this

your "more important thing" is clearly making sure everyone realizes how wrong they are

reminded me of this:

I'm waiting for it to show up on oink. (As per usual.)

Kenan, please don't suck. Go and buy it from their website for SOME MONEY AT LEAST.

I'll buy the CD version when it comes out, and that deluxe vinyl sounds pretty awesome. I'll give them my money, don't worry.

OK. I just think it would be really jerky to violate the honor system (of sorts).

No, I agree! They're going out on a limb here, and I like that.

just pay $1.

i mean, it seems silly to get stuff on OINK when you can get the real juice from the source, and for pennies.

And it would be cool to give them the traffic.

It's just that Kenan, you're wrong, and I want you to know that!

My girlfriend has a great marriage proposal: everybody should be allowed exactly one legitimate marriage to whomever they want. After that, domestic partnership, simple as can be.

They tried that in Ireland. Didn't work out too well, from everything I've heard.

um what?

Gay domestic parternship one-time do-over marriage to Plax: your thoughts?

do i get a say in this?

you get to say "I do"

But only once.

your 'gay-friendly' Administration at work:

that is straight-up evil

prop 8 off to the supreme court

Correct decision, actually; however satisfying the sentiments of 'we're not defending this crap' from Schwarznegger, Brown and Harris, California state law allows for this, and I note that Goodwin Liu did not dissent either.

I concur.

I didn't know this about my congresswoman.. Bravo.

Indeed! (also, Brava!)

oh good

rmde

^^

good to hear obama's "still working" on his views, lol

he makes it sound so complicated

He'll have plenty of time to work out his views when 2012, blah, et al.
