Gay Marriage to Alfred: Your Thoughts

(like Democrats w/ unions these days, to be more precise)

OK, so you are going to respond with your canned Morbisms instead of saying anything of substance.

And also focus on one throw-away quip as the target of your bullshit.

go trash someone on Facebook again.

btw, I think liberals who continue to vote for corporatist Democrats are closer to crazy than idiotic.

Oh, snap? You seem to love to call me out for calling you a joyless shithead on Facebook, but it's not some kind of secret. Everyone already knew that about you. Even your relative who said the same thing in a more polite way.

Anwyay, I do wish you would killfile me.

christ guys, get a room

You're right.

Morbs, let's get a room.

Bring me a rusty blade and plenty of rye bread

Larry Kramer mad.

I hate to say "Old man yells at life" but there ya go. (And I love Larry Kramer and all.)

LK OTM, esp about HRC.

...and BHO

DOA

I think righteous rage has kept Kramer alive this long, and it's good for the rest of us. Especially when a pittance of social rights are mistaken for a bumper crop.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This amicus brief in the Prop 8 appeal is the epitome of 0_o.
http://www.prop8trialtracker.com/2011/11/01/prop-8-trial-new-mystery-brief-filed-in-support-of-defendant-intervenors/

The brief is on the importance of the marital presumption of paternity. A good sample quote from the brief from comments

‎[A whole bunch of really old dudes all] "recognized that female fidelity was the only way to ensure the legitimacy of progeny and that a husband’s control over his wife’s body was the only means of ensuring paternity"

Besides being ridiculous, the brief was way overlong, filed very late, and without the consent of the plaintiffs.

Marriage to Alfred is a #1 priority for many gays.

not surprising to see free speech so low; gays are used to paying boutique prices for everything.

Gays generally as pro-censorship as anyone.

especially when straights are around

DOMA and same-sex marriage are different how...?

Love "political developments affecting the LGBT community."

But I would've voted for "political developments affecting the GLBT community."

what about the BLT community

"Tasty developments affecting the ..."

9-grain bread of course

I only eat cis-grain bread.

In this issue, readers discover that Kevin decided to follow in his father's footsteps by joining the military, and following an injury in Iraq, he meets Dr. Clay Walker at a hospital's rehabilitation unit. While Dr. Walker helps Kevin regain his ability to walk, the two develop a friendship. It’s not until a chance encounter at an airport that they start dating, which eventually leads to their marriage in Riverdale.

I'm glad they kept it ethical, with the chance encounter later, instead of having a doctor and patient dating.

One of my best friends works for Archie now and is involved with those story lines. So proud.

My first cousin, Paul Kupperberg, is the scripter for that comic. He's loving the hell out of writing it.

cool!

I'm curious about how the Kevin Keller story came to be. Somebody had to think it was risky, right? Guess I could Google it, but Phil and Alfred, do you guys have any info you can share?

congrats, k3vin!

Paul posted this today on his FB page - he showed up as Quote of the Day on Comic Book Resources:

“I guess the idiot lunatic fringe does some bitching and moaning about it. But the reaction that I’ve seen has been positive. It’s been ‘This is great—thank you! It’s about time! These are the kind of stories we want to see.’ And if people can’t deal with it, well, go away, don’t read it. That’s okay. I don’t care what you think. [...] When the story broke a month or two ago, there was a comment left on some Fox News site, and they didn’t cite me by name, but it was essentially ‘Whoever would write and draw and publish such a story should get AIDS and die.’ And you know … I thought that was great. [Laughs] I have so much power that I can write a simple comic-book story and that can cause you to wish me death! I am mighty. [Laughs]”

Wash. has enough votes to legalize gay marriage

Wash. has enough votes to legalize gay marriage
OLYMPIA, Wash. (AP) - Gay marriage proponents urged their supporters not to become complacent following news the Legislature has enough votes to make Washington the seventh state to legalize same-sex marriage.

Democratic Sen. Mary Margaret Haugen says she'll support the measure, becoming the 25th vote needed to pass the bill out of the Senate.

The House already has enough support, and Gov. Chris Gregoire has endorsed the plan. Rep. Jamie Pedersen, a Seattle Democrat who is the sponsor of the House gay marriage bill, said at a news conference that the issue is not yet resolved. It's likely that opponents of gay marriage will oppose the measure on a statewide ballot.

If ultimately approved, Washington would join New York, Connecticut, Iowa, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Vermont and the District of Columbia in approving gay marriage.
