Gay Marriage to Alfred: Your Thoughts

I just know a few things.

Disclaimer: I don't know anything.

Delaware's in:

My pool keeps expanding.

All the bankers you could want!

My fears/hopes for some dramatically scandalous, last-minute backstabbing in the MN chambers this Thursday are apparently unfounded.

http://www.startribune.com/local/206486551.html

House Speaker Paul Thissen, of Minneapolis, said that the 73-member Democratic majority he leads will produce at least the 68 votes needed to pass the bill. Senate leaders are also confident of passage, and Democratic Gov. Mark Dayton has promised to sign the bill, which would allow gay couples to marry as of Aug. 1.

...

No House Republicans have committed to vote for the bill. Thissen said while their votes are not needed, they would be appreciated.

...

Richard Carlbom, who heads Minnesotans United, a group that campaigned against last fall's amendment and has subsequently pushed the gay marriage bill through the legislative process, said the group has been conservative in its vote counting, and that commitments from legislators have been double- and triple-checked.

And boom:

Alfred, will you marry me?

I'd love you even if turned out you didn't like marriage at all!

Glory, hallelujah.

Bars and punch in the fellowship hall after the ceremony.

I've been holding the assumption we can only gay marry Alfred once it's legalized in Florida.

What if I just invited Charlie Crist up here to the MN nuptials instead?

really want it to be all 50 soon so the gays can move on to important shit

(j/k... as if)

Our own Eric H. is on the scene:

I'm particularly pleased for the friend and ex-neighbour I once babysat (starting when she was two months old), who is now a lawyer in Minneapolis. She married her girlfriend in Massachusetts last fall and has been very active in lobbying for gay marriage in Minnesota, along with her very politically mixed family.

In other news, Michele Bachmann is threatening to LEAVE MINNESOTA if/when this thing passes. LOOOOOOOOL.

That means she has to resign from Congress, yes? Bring it.

omg win/win

If it means getting her out of Congress, I'll marry Bachmann.

marry her husband instead, that will really drive her crazy

Oops, enthusiastic Facebook sharers in NOT RECOGNISING SATIRE (half a dozen of my ex-classmates and their sibs are LGBT activists so I just got spammed repeatedly). But still, someone should hide in her bushes* and pretend to be God, saying 'thou shalt go forth from this accursed place in haste, lest My door smite thine arse'.

*I added the bushes for you, Dan. Do your worst.

maybe if someone was hiding in her bushes she'd be a little more relaxed/tolerable

(how was that?)

Poisonous insects lurk in those bushes!

getting Bachmann out of Congress will change so, so much

Well, my parents might thank st jude I married a conservative woman.

Roffles:

That measure failed on a 26-41 vote, with Republican Sen. Brenden Petersen, of Andover, and Karin Housley, of St. Mary’s Point, voting no. Petersen is a co-sponsor of the sex-sex marriage legalization bill and Housley has said publicly that she was unsure how she would vote on same-sex marriage.

"Not enough sex in marriage. DOUBLE the sex."

"I now pronounce you sex and sex."

"That'll happen."

which marriage license are you applying for? no sex, sex, or sex-sex

"There's a DJP on the phone, wants the ultrasex license."

"Also everyone from Hastings is calling, wants to know what sex is."

haha if there is one problem our town doesn't have

I was gonna say, one of our classmates just posted to Facebook about how her oldest just turned 23 today

"They called back and explained they wanted to know when to stop."

is there a platinum unlimited sex license for hastings

it's more like aluminum

unobtainium

also it has a pull tab

And done

Let's all get married to Eric H. in Brainerd.

And at long last, Minnesota's most famous wedding is legal:

Wait.... so Michelle B did or did not actually say that the Twin Cities would be destroyed by God??

A: She did not.

Damn it. This is the first time I'm aware of that I've been fooled by fake news! But really, it was 100% believable!

She meant they would be destroyed by A-Rod.

Nah this is MN we're talking about, she meant they would be destroyed by Joe Mauer.

I just searched 'evil Joe Mauer' on Google and

So I'm inclined to agree with you.

lol Blaine is the new SODOM (for gay sex devil worship orgy, it's the second left past Jimmy John's & Papa Murphy's)

"In my heart, I grieve on both sides. Because I know what it's like to be alone and I know what it is like to have somebody close to you and love you. But I grieve inside because I feel we are opening the doors to Sodom and Gomorra. And in the end, God is going to be the judge," said Nelson, of Blaine, tears running down her cheeks.

Guys. My ears hurt sooooooooooooooo bad right now.

you're doing it wrong
