Vermont Gets In On The Fun Too
Stop making Mah Boo Anderson's corn husk and kernel wedding outfit, because there's been a change in plans! We're taking our asses to Vermont, because they just make it legal for the gays and lezzies to marry in their little state! USA Today says the Senate and House said "fuck no" to Gov. Jim Douglas veto of a bill allowing same-sex marriage. The Senate voted 23-5 against the veto and the House voted 100-49. They got the two-thirds required to shoot that shit down.
Vermont has become the fourth state to allow gay marriage. They are also the first state to do it with a legislature's vote instead of from the courts like Iowa, Massachusetts and Connecticut did. 2 states in one week's time! 4 down, 46 to go!
Okay, so now that my wedding to Mah Boo has once again changed locales to Vermont, I'll need to rethink the wedding attire. According to Wikipedia, Vermont is known for their maple syrup and dairy products. That means Mah Boo will bring the cream and I'll bring the syrup...if I ain't being too subtle. Oh fuck, subtlety is not for me ! Mah Boo will bring the jizz and I'll bring the ass syrup! That's what I meant. The wedding will take place at the Beetlejuice house.

I think it is about time that a country built on religious freedom and tolerance stops denying it's citizen's human rights based on the Bible. Not everyone is Christian. I am Canadian, Christian (by default), and straight. I have friends that are married to same-sex partners and it does not bother me. If you have friends, family, co-workers that you respect, care for, whatever, why would it offend you to see them happy?
As for Bert and Ernie, haven't you always joked about them being gay? My sisters and I have. Most people I know have. Are "gays" denied a sense of humor too? I'm going to check my bible.
"If the gays wear their rings on the opposite hand, they can avoid all of that and people would just know w/o asking." << someone wrote that...
Why would people need to ask at all? People need to mind their own fucking business and nevermind lookin at my ring finger in the first place.
And yes, Bert and Ernie are puppets, but they're not CHILDREN. Simply being puppets rules them out as children. But they're not even puppets OF children. They have a phone bill and shit.

I hate to be the one to tell you this, Michael, but Michigan passed an amendment by ballot a couple of years ago that define marriage here as strictly between a man and a woman. So there aren't 46 states left, and we'll have to meet somewhere else to consummate our mutual obsession in holy matrimony.
I guess Winnie the Pooh would be considered a nudist by Vermont standards.

I guess Miss Matt Sludge has her panties in wad about OUT naming her one of the top power gays. She ain't gay ya know!
Here's a nice dream I have:
Blow Hard Bill'o, Cuntface Coulter, Lardass Limpballs, KKKlanity and Michael Salvage are racing down the street and they slam right into a van full of Fred Phelps, his cunt daughter and the rest of that sick bunch of fucks.
The two vehicles slide into closed gas station and explode! Flames engulf the two vehicles while the occupants burn to death, slowly and painfully.
A second explosion sends debris flying into the air. A large piece of metal is sent rocketing towards Matt Drudge and Sarah Palin and decapitates them.
Prez Hilton is walking past the tragic scene while shoveling a triple decker cheese burger into his pie hole. Another explosion shocks Prez and he starts to choke on this little snack.
As he falls to the ground a third explosion sends a flaming gas pump into the air and it lands smack down on Hilton as he flops around the sidewalk like a fish out of water. He dies still clutching the cheese burger in one hand and his cell phone in the other.
Did I forget to mention he was talking to Paris Hilton and Miley Cyrus on the phone at the time and the sound of the first explosion cause them both to drop dead of heart attacks?
That's my latest "Kill People I Hate" fantasy story and my favorite!
Iowa and Vermont don't even seem that gay-friendly.
I could care less about gay marriage or any kind of marriage for that matter.
but...
I find it disturbing that two children albeit puppets are being used to promote this cause.
Bert and Ernie are brothers and children. Not roommates. Children....Brothers.
Why use a non-existent pre-pubescent incestous relationship to promote your cause?

An honest question...
Is there a reason that gay men who consider themselves married wear their rings on the right hand? Are they waiting to change to the left hand when the gay marriage laws pass?
IDK. But, maybe it could be a way to distinguish a heterosexual marriage from a gay marriage. One of my good friends is gay and she is always talking about how annoying it is when people assume she is with a man. If the gays wear their rings on the opposite hand, they can avoid all of that and people would just know w/o asking.

If you get to vote on my rights, when do I get to vote on yours?

I still hold out hope that we'll eventually look back on this the way we do things like, oh, say, not allowing women to vote. It's like, "What were we thinking? That was never right."
Of course, I'm still feeling so happy to be out from under the Bush regime. It's like a cloud being lifted. This case in particular, which I've been following closely, is starting to give me even more hope: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/robert-f-kennedy-jr-and-brendan-demelle/pa...

=========
That's what parents do: teach children values, morals, and ethics. Your perspective is one of tolerance and understanding.
What could possibly be wrong with that?
Knuckle-headed, narrow-minded, INSECURE IN THEIR OWN SEXUALITY, gormless twits will always believe otherwise. So, to hell with them!

My bf isnt a homophobe but he kind of has some shit opinions on the subject. he thinks that if I stay open with my son that him being more accepting will make him teased when hes older. That worry is exactly the problem. Luckily hes my son not his :P

Nothing wrong with that imo, comp.
We were fortunate that my kids were young when we lived in Palm Springs. Wherever you went there were as many gay couples holding hands as straight and my kids never gave it a second thought. Now that they're older (late teens) they think it's "silly" that people have "problems" with someone elses sexuality.

My son is six and hes too young to understand this shit but when he told me boys only marry girls I said not necessarily, you just marry who you love and he said boys marry boys? and i said sometimes. Do you guys think thats bad?

NO! NEVER! It is never too early to teach tolerance and understanding of different lifestyles. You did the right thing.

I have a son your age and told him the exact same thing. I think if children grow up understanding that love shouldn't have rules the easier it is. It's much harder to change your ideas of normality than it is to just grow up accepting.

Do you guys think thats bad? It just seems to me that this shouldnt be relevant in this era, its becoming so much more common and open that any prejudice may not be from experience maybe just from the recycled bigotry of parents, like if all kids now grow up thinking its just something that happens (like interracial couples) then it would be no big deal in the future (like it shouldnt be now)
Then again maybe Its just morning and I need some caffeine :)

If she's 5 then she obviously coudln't read "support gay marriage" above bert and ernie so your original comment is null and void and was merely said to start shit.
I never thought Burt and Ernie were sexual. But for some reason I always thought Gordon and Maria were part time lovers.

People read into things to find the meaning they want.
For example, Peppermint Patty's almost a lesbian icon, but if you actually read Peanuts, you'd know that she had such a crush on Charlie Brown that the fact he didn't like her back kept her up at night and that's why she always slept through school. But because she's a tomboy and has a best friend and dresses like a stereotypical lesbian, it's more fun to think of her and Marcie as being more than friends.
So, Bert and Ernie, though they're roommates, best friends, and don't have girlfriends, are gay.
