Gay Marriage to Alfred: Your Thoughts

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

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

About 1,220,000 results (0.40 seconds)

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

were they chanting "The people united / Will not be put asunder"?

I have a photo of me on that MST set, marrying no one.

I'll say this: the crowd ran through their entire songbook in far less than the four or five hours they were amassed.

Murkowski endorses. And I do hope Sarah Palin is somewhere flailing about now.

I don't want to get into any tedious theology debate here (at least not now)
but there is a difference between "letting oneself be used by God to gently let someone else realise their fault" vs. "Thinking oneself is better than someone else and looking down on them; judging them" (in action they may appear very similar, but in motive they are opposite)
In the case of stoning the prostitute, Jesus was speaking to the second group.

This is the kind of thought that needs to be examined to see how to get your agenda across (to the non-homophobe intelligent conservative Christian). Just saying, "that kind of thought is religious and wrong" will get no where.

LOL at how this thread started. Can't believe all of the debate on a passage of the Bible that didn't even exist in the original copies.

DOMA goes down!
