It seems a lot of this is about semantics more than anything. I'm straight, but if gay, what I would be concerned about is that if I had a child and "partnered" with someone in a civil union, then if...
Nah, it's true. I'm still in my 20's and my buddies and I are always noticing this stuff. There's a glass Nestea bottle that is also similarly shaped. If you Google image search for "nestea and arizona iced tea bottles"...
There is a lot flawed with this whole thing. I've found that most people that are "cat people" have never owned a dog, or never owned a dog under their accord (it was a dog or breed that they didn't...
Okay, just throwing an idea out here, bear with me a minute... Since the objections to gay marriage seem to be mostly religious in nature (and mostly Christian religion at that), maybe we should take a look at what the Bible actually says about it, in Leviticus 20:13: "If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them." Assuming "mankind" here just means "another dude," and not "every dude on earth" (which, yeah, would be kinda slutty...
Senor Paulo: Unfortunately, its not just about a word, but about a number of rights associated with that word. There are state by state differences in what civil unions get you. To me its an example of separate, but not equal. Old school segregation. That's my last thoughts on the subject, I don't think I've got anything that hasn't been said already on this page....
It's been an interesting dialogue all. I'd just say to the folks who feel excluded, if you consider yourself married then I do as well. As far as the legal stuff goes, the future is an open book. I would point out that alot of people were on your side. The Govenor for one I believe. Cheers....
Wait, Jeem....that means no bacon...I cannot condone that... hmmm.... but side note...to all of those Loyal 77ers who like to Oprah bash, I want to point out that the November issue of O has a recipe for bacon-nut stuffing: http://tinyurl.com/6pg9oj Didn't want to open up a whole forum entry to share this...just taking advantage of one of the most popular posts (shoot me...I know, there are rules about this)--but it looks really good (and I know most of you men would not have picked up a copy of O unless you had a gun to your head or the dentist...
EUnity- To your comment :"I just can't understand why is it that canines always feel compelled to sniff at your crotch" I have never had a problem with dogs sniffing my crotch. I've noticed that if you keep your crotch well maintained dogs really have no interest in it. If your crotch is smelly enough to have every dog drawn to it, more than likely you may want to hit it with a little soap and water. I suggest a good scrubbing. If you still have the problem after a good scrubbing, douse your junk with a little gold bond....
As a straight man, with some homophobic tendencies, living in Oklahoma, I cannot for the life of me understand how this prop 8 could not pass. I hold a very strong opinion of what separation of church and state means, and lately it has become all too apparent that our once great nation is anything but just that. Religious fundamentalists have for too long governed the masses with their beliefs on how we should conduct ourselves, and defined way too many things for us with their jaded views. if Allah thinks gay marriage is an abomination, so what! prop 8...
Uhhh...as a major dick-sucking homo I have to tell you guys some bad news. I like 'em closeted, so this is sort of a specialty of mine. BY FAR the best marker for "under the radar" homos is cat-hatred. Married guys on Craigslist (an old specialty of mine). Dudes who are Republican and 'bisexual.' The neanderthal at the garage with hands that looked like dinosaur gristle who grabbed my dick when he saw the porno mag in my trunk: ALL FUCKING CAT HATERS. Don't take my word for it - ask your gay friends: out of the closet gay guys...
