HELL YES!!!
October 10th, 2008 by Evil BeetThe Supreme Court in Connecticut ruled today that civil unions are not sufficient and gay couples will now have the right to marry in that state.
WOO HOO!!!
Before you leave a comment, please make sure you've read our Guide to Commenting. It could save you a great deal of embarrassment.
Would it be inappropriate to Wedding Crash? Even if I was wearing a huge dildo costume?
so proud of my homestate!!
Seems like it would be a no-brainer in every state.
I’m with Wendie and awaiting comments from the homophobes.
YaY, this is awesome. It’s so great. I don’t even live in America. I’m from Romania. Hi beet!
Score! That’s totally awesome.
Hooray!!
great news! why someone would be upset about a couple getting married is beyond me. don’t we have more important things to worry about, like clean water? yes, i know, the homophobes will come a-runnin’ to declare that gay people getting married is not only against god but will also taint the water supply and turn all god fearing children gay, gay, gay!
*sigh*
HOORAY!! Only 47 more states to go…
Hooray! Only 3 states to turn over!
hahahaha.
Well I’m afraid of spiders but I don’t want to outlaw them or anything. I never understand why the homophobes can’t just be anti-social towards the gay community…why do they have to storm state capitals to make sure gay marriage bans stand?
@ Wendie
Nm, I’m not getting into this again. It’s gets a little old.
Why do I have a feeling that Keightlynn would have been part of that angry white mob when desegregation in public schools were taking place fifty years ago? Right, because uneducated fear-mongrels and bible beaters are afraid of change and truly believe Jesus Christ would have hated gays.
Too harsh? Well, I’m pmsing and have been watching too many redneck videos during the McCAin/Palin Rally. Yeesh.
OMG, I don’t hate gays! I have gay friends! ugh!
So when God was handing out brains he just decided to take a shit in Keightlynn’s skull instead?
( and her mothers too obviously, because who else but a mongoloid fucktard spells caitlin like that.)
Translation: It only gets old when I have my views challenged, but I will compulsively interject a snippet whenever gay rights are mentioned. Just don’t challenge me on it, cause you know, it gets old.
YEAH!
I don’t hate slavery…. I have 3 of them!
No, because there is about.. a 50-100 post thread where I explain all of this already.
That’s why it gets old.
I think the homophobes are just people that are still in the closet and they would never have the guts to come out, it happened before!!
TSS,
Your one of them ;]
Keightlynn, why would you want to deny other people the same right that you have.
You married the love of your life. Don’t you think everyone should be able to do that (as long as they are two consenting adults)?
JK, the point of marriage is to reproduce. There is no reproduction in homosexuality, unless artificially inseminated, (which still involves someone of the opposite sex btw), or adoption (which also involves two people of the opposite sex). What is the point of homosexual marriage then? Partnership? That just makes no sense to me.
Not to mention that in every relationship there is still someone that role plays the “male” or “female” in the relationship. Why is that? Why not date the actual sex instead of some one that looks just like the opposite sex but is not? Again, that makes no sense to me.
Your interpretation of the point of marriage. There are plenty of couples who never “reproduce” children for a multitude of reasons. Some even take the humanitarian route and prefer to adopt (gasp!) There are couples who biologically can’t have children, for a multitude of reasons. Should they not be legally allowed to marry? What if your son or daughter cannot physically have children? Do you think they should not be allowed to marry then?
Am I just blowing your fucking mind, Keightlynn, or have one of these issues ever come up for you, and how do your Christian beliefs justify taking the rights from others who do not necessarily share your beliefs?
TSS Man you are on point today.
Reproducing is the only thing marriage is good for? I am at a loss for words on that one.
Are you saying you wouldn’t have married your husband if you were unable to have children with him?
How about we tell all those couples who are unable or unwilling to have children that they should file for divorce?
Furthermore, do you really believe that your inability to make sense out of two consenting adults’ relationship gives YOU the right to deny them marriage?
Besides all of these common sense points, Keightlynn, your views are just plain depressing. That takes all of the spontaneity, passion, and fun out of relationships. Have you ever had anything but missionary style sex either? I mean, sheesh, the world of fun you are denying yourself out of a fear of God… ugh. Depressing.
WHAT I AM SAYING IS
Two people of the same sex cannot reproduce, and need two people of the same TO reproduce for them.
Therefore you still need two people of the opposite sex involved!
Actually Alex,
I LOVE it doggie style to be honest.
Keightlyn – please show me where on earth you got that definition of marriage, “that the point of marriage is to reproduce”.
You sound like every other republican, “but wait!, I have gay friends!” but you hate the fact that they can marry. Here is a big fuck you to you, you god fearing bitch.
Proud to be a CT denizen right now. :)
AND did you realize we can’t feed or home the already many orphaned children? Its outdated, things change and your views should too.
One more point…. I have had militantly Islamic neighbors growing up that shared the same beliefs. I find it ironic that hard-core Christians and Muslims share so many of the same beliefs about shame in sexuality, female body shame, etc, yet harbor such a misinformed hatred for one another. Y’all should really get together and talk about how much you guys hate gays, liberals, and female liberaton.
Go read 1984, btw. That is what you are wanting our lives to come of, you and your born again friends
@ keightlynn
You still may need to people of different sexes to reproduce but does that not mean that they cannot feel the same love that you feel for your husband? I think cj has it right. And just because you have gay friends that does not mean anything. Have you ever expressed your views to them about marriage and reproduction. If you did, I have a feeling they would not talk to you anymore. Love is the bond. That is all I am saying. Not the act of reproducing.
I think we all agree that you need a male and female to biologically reproduce. I am missing how that applies to marriage.
Good point Alex S.
Keightlynn, I have to say – you are being a good sport despite the flack i’m giving ya.
Steve Johnson is saying it much nicer… He must have not been watching attendants of the Mccain Rally on the Huffington Post as I have. :)
Different views are good. All are not right. I just try and mediate. In the end I know what I believe, it may not be right for everyone. I have not piad attention to the politics. I can’t stand it, the commercials make me want to jump in the tub holding my TV while the tub is full!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nope, my gay friends and I have had many discussions about this.
They ALL remember when they decided to be gay and why.
One was raped, and now hates men.
One’s parents got divorced, so he decided to try penis, and say’s that “he loves the soft foreskin against the roof of his mouth.” Sadly, he is now a crack addict, so we not longer speak. ;[
One thinks being gay is wrong, but loves butt sex to much to stop.
One has a boob obsession, and decided that that makes her gay.
My bestfriend says that you don’t know whether your straight or gay unless you experiment with both sexes, and claims that all gay guys have small penis, so he decided to go back straight.
3/4 of them actually don’t believe in marriage period.
Wow.
I can see why some would choose gay as their way of life. But still it is about love not about what you can get and if someone has a big penis or not or a boob fetish.
Like I said you still have not sold me on your viewpoint. No offense.
Your limited anecdotal evidence says nothing about homosexuality.
It does, however, say a lot about how fucked up your friends are.
@ jk
Game Set Match, jump over the net you won.
@jk
I’m only basing my opinion on the gay people that I know. Most of them don’t care about love, they just want the sex.
@ Steve
That’s cool.
keightlynn, you’re 19 years old. At your age, most people just “want the sex”.
Not to make a joke of you keightlynn but you said that you love doggiestyle right? When your husband is doing you in that position all he sees is an ass. Do you ever think that he could be thinking that you are man? I am just saying? I doubt he is but look at it from the males perspective. I know that is weird to think about. I guess that is not really a good point but…….I lost my train of thought……where am I?
@jk how do you know her age? I must have missed something.
Also keightlynn why in the hell would you get married at 19 if that is your age?
I am still not swayed. Maybe when my friends want more than “just the sex” I’ll change my mind.
Well – Regardless whether these are what your gay friends are really telling you or it is your intrepretation, it sounds like your “friends” are having a hell of a time accepting their own gayness.
In a society that hates them and condemns their rights, can you imagine walking in their shoes for a week? To have to hide a huge part of who you are at the risk of getting the shit/life kicked out of you by homophobes?
It’s revealing that gays turn to drugs, or deny their sexuality, or act out in unhealthy ways. How can they can’t even accept themselves when their friends can’t even accept them? Your rhetoric is, who you are is really a [wrong] choice, and I can’t agree with a part of you”. Sheesh, talk about a life struggle. I’ve worked in the gay neighborhood of San Francisco for 3 years, and in a city that is gay friendly, I’ve seen older men and women who have healthy relationships with themselves and one another, are active in their communities, humanitarians, scholars, and yes, even parents.
People can be shine their best when they live in an environment that accepts all parts of them. I really hope for your children’s sake that they are not gay. That would be devastating to your entire family, them the most.
@ steve
Umm ew? I’m the one that likes it, idk if he does.
Why shouldn’t I? I’ve been with him for almost 4 years now, he’s my best friend.
