We live in a land where you can choose same-sex marriage or opposite marriage
Actually, that is not true dipshit. In most of the country you can't "choose" to get married if you're gay. Seriously, does anybody but asshat homophobic pastors even give a shit about this anymore?
@Father of 2 Future First Rounders: Why is she a nitwit? Sure her answer wasn't polished ('opposite' marriage) and she's carrying the blonde beauty pageant stereotype, but she shared what she thought - fully knowing she her answer would be, to steal the passive aggressive phrase, 'frowned upon.'
It's amazing how this issues stirs up such rage. Who gives a shit if someone were a groomsmen in a gay wedding? We got big ass problems as a society, but marriage isn't in the top 50. IMHO.
@It's a little Chili Davis outside: Man, i couldn't agree more about our problems. I'll tell you why this issue stirs up rage: I worked on Broadway shows for the past 8 years and was often the only straight guy in the room. I have dozens of gay friends and have gotten alot of their stories. And there is one common thread; The intense and overwhelming shame and abuse heaped upon them by their families and churches, deep depression, and lots of suicide attempts. Ms. Prejean is fully entitled to her opinion (this is America) and churches are fully entitled to ban gays and preach hatred. I have zero problem with that. But the state is supposed to support the rights of it's citizenry. So let's just do that so we can focus on the "big ass problems" you so correctly refer to.
Pretty sure I heard it as we have a choice to allow gay marriage or to not allow it. If 90% of the people in a state vote no why should their voice not be heard too? That of course is a vast overstatement but last time I checked gays weren't denied the right to vote, peaceable assemble, or really do any thing like that. I've been to "gay marriages" before, 2 people don't need a piece of paper to be happy or to really be married. Why is it that only thing gay marriage supporters don't tolerate is other peoples opinions right or wrong you are bashing someone for their opinion since when did that become a crime.
@Frozented: You should not and will not be banned.
People do need the "piece of paper" you refer to to receive the same tax breaks and health care benefits. That is the crux of what i'm talking about. This is America -- you can hate gays till the cows come home -- that is your right.
"If you stumble, if you hesitate, you can kiss the crown goodbye. Now if I've told you once, I've told you a thousand times - poise counts! It's just as important as the others. Swimsuit! Evening wear! Talent! POISE!"
We live in a land where you can choose same-sex marriage or opposite marriage," Prejean said. "And you know what, I think in my country, in my family, I think that I believe that a marriage should be between a man and a woman. No offense to anybody out there, but that's how I was raised
Put that in a major key, and Jessica Simpson is back on top of the country charts!
@Stev D: I'm not sure about her getting back on top of the country charts anytime soon. For one thing, are you certain the country charts could support the weight?
