Gay Marriage to Alfred: Your Thoughts

so far, I'm worried about the wig.

also MN marriage amendment polling as a dead heat.

So upset absentees aren't allowed to vote on that.

LGBT issues as yet unmentioned in debates

Considering that LGBT issues were instrumental in pumping up the voter turnout for Republicans in many key states in 2004, what this means to me is that the tide has turned far enough by now that the Rs no longer think it is a winner for them. In 2004, the Rs were all over the gay marriage issue like white on rice. That's a measure of progress.

let's not even consider why Jim Lehrer didn't bring them up.

Xpost not too many state constitutions left to destroy.

Looking good in Maine, Minnesota, and (tentatively) Maryland. Minnesota can make it 4/4.

Alfred, my answer is, yes, I'll marry you!

I'd marry you if it turned out you had no blood at all!

Glory, hallelujah.

Hey Alfred,

Like how Ginsberg's all "Scalia, did you just let one?"

are all nine of them officiating at a gay wedding? that's gotta be against some kind of law.

oh yay they're doing a christmas card this year?

Slobbo isn't having it.

Thomas looks exactly like he would look doing what he's doing there.

i think the perry/perry wedding could command those officiants

l: tyler, r: rick, obv

would be surprised but not shocked if Roberts joins the liberal majority.

Mm, was wondering about that myself.

I can't imagine how tempting it would be to endorse the homogenization of sodomy.

I'm holding out for pasteurization.

I'm holding out for ... well, God knows what I'm holding out for anymore.

a hero?

:)

If "hero" equals "won't take no for an answer," yes.

Hmm. Is this a new thing from him?

Nah, I think it's been part of his libertarian steeze for a while - isn't there an O'Reilly/Beck sit-down where the latter basically says "doesn't affect me or my wallet, who cares?"

Some of the sausage making:

As natural as Obama's statement may have sounded, his words were as carefully chosen as the interview. The testimonial to the gay men and women in his life; the discussion of values and the Golden Rule; the remarkable fact that America's first black president, discussing an issue many see as a modern civil-rights struggle (with a black interviewer, no less)

A short, round, bald, slightly nebbishy presence, Wolfson, ironically enough, resembles more than anything a New York divorce attorney.

Gomer Pyle gets hitched.

I grilled gr8080 over drinks a few weeks ago about Jim Nabors' public life in Hawaii.

our scenes don't really overlap too often

one never knows

ilx fanfic

so will Nabors be asked to sing at the start of the Indy 500 as usual?

had no idea Nabors was gay. was this well known?

I heard the jokes about him and Rock Hudson being 'married' in the late '70s
