Gay Marriage to Alfred: Your Thoughts

otm

Grammy Record of the Year is in the bag.

sorry Daft Punk

Sorry two other Macklemore singles that were also nominated.

congratulations america <3

One of my gay friends, in posting his celebration of the ruling, also lamented the fact that apparently Floridians can't read, and apparently he was a part of this FB group that for some reason thought that this made gay marriage legal and recognized in all states, so they started posting plans to all assemble at City Hall and get married today.

Oops!

Really happy at this ruling though. also love that Pelosi blew off the "what do you think of Bachmann's comments" question she got.

it's funny to see which FB friends went to a rally/celebration in front of the Stonewall Inn, and try to conjure what a future spouse of theirs might be like. (genetically engineered supermen?)

I bet you laughed, you did.

The gay Catholic NYC activists who aided Edie Windsor:

lol @ these clowns

remember that thing I did that was politically expedient? well this thing I'm doing now is even more politically expedient

guys there is still a chance to save traditional marriage... I think with blowjobs, judging from this campaign

blowjobs are totally traditional

that's why Clinton signed DOMA, to protect traditional BJs

lol

wow I just realized it's pride weekend. and it's going to be like 90 degrees.

it's hot in my PANTZ

It's not the heat, but the humidity.

see? Eric, you can live here.

so glad I'm working in the burbs all this weekend

Stay lifted in California immediately, Kamala Harris marrying one of the two plaintiff couples in the next seven minutes. I like life. http://t.co/udWtG73k07

All hail the queen.

Lol @ "God's Representative on Earth Bestows Additional Rights Unto Humans"

Did I read that it's going to take a full year before the law goes into effect?

Yeah, next summer.

good luck uk

fuck stonewall's "thank you ma'am" tweet. forelock-tugging is NOT the correct response to ostensible equality

All I can think of is the end of The Normal Heart, but now, somehow, positive.

I didn't realize until today that Mark Ruffalo will be playing the Larry Kramer-ish character in the movie of The Normal Heart.

Some impressive party pooping on the eve to my marriage to Alfred.

What hurts them most about seeing society change around them? Being called bigots, they said. Feeling forced to accept something they believe is wrong.

“I have to accept that there are crosses in life,” Cherucheril said. “After all, you are following someone who died on a cross, who carried a cross. What do you expect in life? You will carry a cross at times. Yet we are people of hope.”

Nancy Stanton, who with Keith is a member of St. Peter, said she won’t stop speaking up. “I know it’s the law, but I’m entitled to feel the way I do. This just stirs a pot of muddy water like you wouldn’t believe.”

Persuading others to regard marriage as they do isn’t getting any easier, she added, what with the pace at which society moves these days. People scan news stories, get sound bites from TV, converse via text messages and generally always seem on the run.

“There’s no deep thinking anymore,” she said. “No way to sit down and fully think through an issue.”

lmao i dont give a fuck, watching these ppl mourn is delicious

Jirele, who considers herself nondenominational, said in an e-mail that no one has crowed to her about the law being repealed.

“Many of my homosexual friends have been very respectful toward me since the vote,” she said. “I have very high concern for each of them as individuals of whom I care, but I also know that you cannot talk straight talk to a stone wall, a clogged faucet, a distracted dog or a misplaced wrench.

“Good news is only good news if the hearer hears it as good news. So I pray and wait — wait for an opportunity to share at a time that finds a friend with listening ears and open heart.”

Persuading others to regard marriage as they do isn’t getting any easier, she added, what with the pace at which society moves these days

if only folks would slow down a little, just take the time to let the slow poison of intolerance do its work

stirs her pot of muddy water like you wouldn't believe *shudders*

open your heart to <~GAY HATRED~>
psalms 3:12

you cannot talk straight talk to a stone wall

HAHA

Meanwhile, the manly anti-gay men of France who are manly:

stone wall
clogged faucet
distracted dog
misplaced wrench

^^ poll

I will always vote distracted dog.

"You cannot talk straight talk to a misplaced wrench" is a pretty great turn of phrase IMO, it sidesteps the usual brick-wall idea of a thing which cannot hear and swaps in a thing which cannot be found and would in any case be somewhat ill-fitted to the situation at hand.

It's kind of amazing to realize how sad these people are. Also I accidentally looked at the comments and was surprised how non-insane they seemed to be.

I just call Eric my misplaced wench when we're around the house.

Wrench, Alfred. I'm your wrench!

And you're my little nut.

Wrench-It Alf

(with apologies to scott seward)

Wench, Eric. Wench!
