The White Wedding dress would be soooo passe!!!
It would be all serious in the church. Top hat and tails and tailored to the nines. The reception however would be a different story. The velcro tux would be ripped away to reveal heart shaped nipple cups and a leather studded thong. The theme song to A Night at the Roxbury miraculously starts playing and everybody starts doing Vogue.

Bwahahahahahaha. All of a sudden I also had Ru Pauls "Work It" in my head when I read about your plans. If you want to make it REALLY festive, no bouquet for anybody. You can only hold sparklers.

Well hell... Anyone seen that South Park episode about Christmas???? It basically bans anything that is offensive to anyone. It's an oldie but goodie and certainly speaks volumes I think,

Please do me the favor at least following any quotations of myself, when taken totally out of context with “ellipses” (….) This is why I asked about your education.

Thanks

This bears the question then why are you on a pro-marriage forum?
My experience has been exactly the opposite, with the local judges here in District Family Court consisting of six women and 2 men..

Who said this is a “pro marriage forum?”

I am totally joking. Actually, our firm has a huge client base of gay men and they are nothing like this, NOTHING. Having said that, one of my clients IS like this and I saw him out once wearing and I kid you not a shrink wrapped black t-shirt, CLEAR vinyl pants without any underwear and bright yellow dyed ostrich skin cowboy boots. He was like "Hey Bright...what's up and swoops in for a hug....meanwhile his junk is being seperated from me by Saran Wrap, nevermind that I could already see it.

The other items you mentioned do not meet these conditions the way that marriage does.
I'm sorry Galt... Here is the text in it's entirety. Not sure what difference it makes though... You are still saying the same damn thing.

Education? Went to college in GA, perhaps that would explain my idiocracy????

And furthermore, I certainly don't appreciate you implying I'm stupid... DON'T GO THERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just sounds bitter to me.

I knew what I was getting into. Thanks.

It can vary county by country, sure. Overall though, more family court judges are men.

Perhaps not pro-marriage per se, but that is the definate undercurrent as in try everything to save your marriage...that kind of thing.

You seem very upset and make some pretty shocking statements which you want signed in to law because you feel that way.

If we ignore it, it will go away.


If you cannot tell that inclusion of the entire statement makes all the difference in the world, then I am simply nonplussed. Do you know what this means?

Look, I am in no position to be telling two consenting adults whether they should tie the knot, and neither are you. What business is it of yours if two gay people form a union? How does that affect you one bit?

Question Galt... Do you think being gay is a choice?

Galt doesn`t seem to be against gay marriage so much as against marriage in general.

While his views seem a bit extreme he has some valid points.

I think the creator and "head honcho" of the forums has said this before. Not saying "pro gay marriage" - but the site's main purpose is to help people who want to save or improve their marriage.

Basically, anytime we've asked for anything that might encourage "hook-ups" - even for us almost divorced folks - he shoots it down!

Well it is kind of hard to see the validity through the bitterness but it`s there in some of it.

He said that anything you get in to that isn't necessary and you don't really know what you are getting in to should be illegal. Parenting comes to mind, so does an employment contract and buying a house. Is being a father what you thought it would be, better or worse? Ever had an employment contract that you signed thinking your company/boss would act a certain way? What about a house? A house that 4 years down the road has plumbing issues? Should those things be illegal? None of those things are "necessary" nor does anybody going in know what really is going to happen.

Heck, politicians are unnecessary and you don't know what you are getting....illegal? What about loaning money to a friend? Don't need to do that either, nor will you know the outcome. Owning a firearm isn't neccesary and you don't know what will happen there either.

He also said that community property laws shouldn't exist and that after 34 years of marriage, his wife has contributed nothing to deserve anything. Exactly what part of his rant is valid?
