My favorite quotes of privilege for the day (gay marriage)
And I will not include the sincere explanations of how this will set gay rights back for generations by way of backlash, like durrr.
One woman, in a thread titled “Raise a glass to the California Supreme Court!” came in just to say;
I hate to be the party pooper here, but I wonder when the first Legally married Homosexual couple will drag us though the drama of Divorce Court and the issues of custody (Assuming it has not already happened)
Upon being asked; surely you can’t expect that gays, who are people too with feelings just like everyone else’s, should be inhumanly perfect?(the “people with feelings too” is her own quote from earlier) she offered this gem;
I had expected them to take more “Pride”, holding it in high esteem, in it as it is supposed to be something they have been fighting for, this “Holy Grail” sort to speak, you know. ..
But sadly the damage done to the ideal will be the most. I mean Homosexuals have been putting out the idea that they should be allowed marriage because they are a loving committed people to one partner and should be allowed to make that commitment legal.
It is about putting on a show and proving a point.
I guess after the ball is dropped, people are people….
I mean I would imagine that the Heterosexuals who have been enjoying the right to legal unions for the past several hundred years (And even developed the concept) would eventually take it for granted, rather amazed it took this long to tell the truth.
It is not like they have been striving and suffering for this “right” and this chase to filly prove themselves as loving, loyal, and affectionate people who are committed to each other.
Not like Divorce is a big thing to heterosexuals as a whole these days so I expect them to not take it as a “Big Thing” that they could not make their marriage work.
I just figured that Homosexuals, well, it would considered a “Big Thing” if you know what I mean. This is something precious and important. I would have guess that they at least have the divorce rate of early heterosexual couples, in the low single % range. (I told her that one couple in a particular group of twenty, had broken up)
Here is another conversation. I’ve been invited to two marriages– they are both happening on the same day!
another person (not the same ignoramus) said;
Get them to have a dual ceremony.
This was a serious suggestion, as a possible solution to let you attend both ceremonies. I’m explaining this, as there seems to be a lot of misunderstanding going on in this thread.
Like the mis-assumption that every same-sex couple wants to be part of a mass wedding? Or that every same sex couple knows every other?
