If your picture of heterosexual marriage is one where it basically serves the husband’s interests, where he is in charge and wife and children are his subordinates, and where controlling the wife’s sexual behavior is fundamental to it in a way that controlling the husband’s is not – and this is still the ruling picture in much of America (not to mention the rest of the world) – then same-sex marriage really is a threat, because it shows that marriage need not be a union of unequals and can be non-hierarchical.

i loved the onion article

http://www.theonion.com/articles/supreme-court-on-gay-marriage-sure-who-cares,31812/

oh and donna rouge's post in the gays thread:

i'll admit it's not a super-huge priority to *me* personally but it means a lot to people i love and i will be very happy to see both these things overturned because state-sponsored discrimination is some bullshit. otoh i would also like to live in a world where, say, the golden girls would get the same benefits my married pals (gay or otherwise) get. i don't think there's a huge gulf between supporting gays being able to marry *and* also being skeptical of marriage as an institutional thing. and i think there's a lot of pressing issues that gay marriage doesn't totally address and i don't want to see them get swept under the rug if GM does become the law of the land. and i think it's NAGL to shit on qu]eer people who do want to get married. looking over this big glarble of text i don't think any of these stances are especially egregiously contradictory but you know, large, multitiudes, etc.

that post confused me until I realized that what was meant was "adults sharing a living space as an analogous family unit" and not literally "the fictional characters of Dorothy, Blanche, Rose and Sophia and/or the actresses who portrayed these characters"

thinking maybe I should have eaten lunch

if only that onion article were not satire xxp

No worries: I had the same thought.

I mean, I consider myself socially liberal but I do have to draw the line at extending tax benefits to people who are imaginary

what if they had imaginary children? end of civilisation imo

You just need other equivalents, as we've discussed

Is Sex in the City actually just Golden Girls without the withere boobs?

mookie, 'cause he's a catch!

i think about the golden girls in relation to gay politics kind of a lot

went to my first gay marriage last night and it was pretty much as boring as your average marriage except there was a "turn off your cell phones" pre recorded voiceover at the start with some woman impersonating sophia vergara and kristen stewart

never made it through a Golden Girls ep

like every filthy offscreen Bea Arthur story I've heard tho

would rather watch Cliff and Claire.

why does this thread title mention alfred?

He has a condo, right?

"Why would a guy wanna marry a guy?"
"Security!!"

JUSTICE SCALIA: When did it become unconstitutional to ban same-sex marriage? Was it 1791? 1868?

TED OLSON: When did it become unconstitutional to ban interracial marriage?

JUSTICE SCALIA: Don’t try to answer my question with your own question.

scalia, piece of shit until the end

You don't cook, Herr Doktor, and detest Richard Linklater. What can you offer me?

Beginning to get REAL sour at how precious some people are treating a fucking red-colored equal sign icon.

xpost it takes a village of profile pictures, Ned

?

a facebook thing, AA

ah, ta

ppl changed their profile pics to some generic red equals sign thingy and got kinda snotty about ppl a) not changing their profile pics or b) commenting on everyone changing their profile pics or c) general piousness

ohhh, the hrc logo but red

i have hrc logo cufflinks but i lost them in the move :(

xp ahh, that's the snottiness, cheers

yes I've already called out a few people. Having straight "allies" unwilling to make the leap to support poverty initiatives is an unexpected irony.

I want NOTHING to do with the HRC.

lyfe of pi
