Gay Marriage

[Swift]

Ten and other gay members. What's the deal with gay guys being feminine anyway?

Lets celebrate this momentary cease fire between the gays and christians... WOOOHOOO!!

Loooook! ANGELS!

Sweet Jesus! That threw me for a loop.

 

[PS]

Ok, bring in the lesbians. This has to cater to all walks of life, you know.

Yes, lesbians are a lot easier on the eyes and stomach... to me anyway. Some that is, masculine lesbians who dress like males with army boots and wool socks are just as gross to watch.

Here, to compensate for the grossness in the previous picture. I had to search for a half decent one because I don't want to get banned for posting content not suitable for minors.



I mean c'mon, even Swift probably thinks "HOT DAMN!" after seeing this pic.

 

[Joey D]

That photobucket logo is hot!

Damn, it was still in my cache, that's why I didn't notice. I couldn't save that pic anymore either, it was wonderful.

 

[PS]

Now if only they would go get married. Then we could have gays and lesbians and stay on topic at the same time! w00tx0r!!11

But Britney's pregnant so that all went down the drain. And don't even think of replacing her with Rosie O'Donell.

Of course you also have lesbians looking like this:

I was watching the thread to see what happened after danoff's post, and well, I must say: Good job! 👍 a huge step forward, in my opinion.
@XVII: I read those pages thoroughly, but I came to the same conclusion as PS.
To expain myself further, what I understood was that people who actually are closer to the subject, say that it's not a matter of choice. It just happened that way.
@vladimir: Thanks for the comments. One does what one can.

Lol! Come on, admit it, you were all reloading the page over and over again to see if it fixed itself... or was it just me?
And, about Flame-returns post: It seems to me (feel free to correct me if I'm wrong) that you read the thread up to a certain point, and you had to post that because you had to somehow "let it out". I say that because it almost happened to me when reading up to 2/3 of the thread, but I decided to do something else and in the meantime, think things through. If you read the latest pages, then you'll see that it turned up to be not bad after all.

What are you doing with things like that on your harddrive, Smelly?

Some think it may be due to the whole theory that homosexuals are born homosexual, something about low testosterone levels or something.

Personally, I think I can attribute it to being raised mostly by women growing up. (my grandmother from birth till age 11, my single aunt from 11 to 13, and then my mom when my dad never took any time to bond with me outside of tossing me around the house) If I didn't end up gay, I can assure you I'd be one hell of a metrosexual!

I typed gay parade in google image search and just clicked through pages until I found a picture that would really gross out most people here.

Unfortunately I couldnt save the original pic I intended to post, so I had to find a new one.

 

[Pako]

It almost seems like we needed some moron to say something stupid to bring us back to our senses. It's like Christmas.

danoff,

I really don't think he's talking about you....I hope.

 

[emad]

danoff,

No, not at all. He was talking about Flame-returns I think...

 

[Ten]

That's what I was thinking.

just because most of us have good manners doesn't mean we are feminine.
most homosexuals are not more feminine than straight dudes, but you don't take notice of these.

in contrast to the feminine homosexuals there is also a group that is more than masculine...and they are definately more scary than the feminine ones...

anyway, i am gay because i like MEN, not women...whyt the point in homosexuality when everyone would be feminine?



p.s.
i wish you all a nice long weekend, don't write too much as i will be in london for the next days and i will have to read everything when i am back.

As said above, many gays are just as masculine or feminine as the next guy. I read about a TV show in the US that deals with this prejudice - where people meet other people and have to guess whether they are gay or not.

Of course, when your dating possibilities are limited to a tenth of the population, it does sometimes pay off to develop certain signals that indicate you are in fact gay.

I have a distinct feeling (correct me if I'm wrong) that gays are slightly more masculine then most men, soimthing about excess testosterone in the womb or somthing. Surely this would make them less femine its strange but it seems to have the opposit effect.

If I didn't end up gay, I can assure you I'd be one hell of a metrosexual!

To me people are either Gay, straight, or bi. Metrosexual sounds like people who have sex on public transport.

Of course you also have lesbians looking like this:

Thats a transexual.

And, about Flame-returns post: It seems to me (feel free to correct me if I'm wrong) that you read the thread up to a certain point, and you had to post that because you had to somehow "let it out".

Sorry about losing it like that I did read the tread through but currently I have a very short temper as I have flu and a throat infection. A combination of Amoxcillin, Prednisolone, and a few antibiotics are doing nothing for my mood. 'm distictly pissed off and i also have a splitting headache.

Once again sorry.

 

[Famine]

Thats a transexual.

You know this how?

Looks like a woman with long hair and a mullet to me.

 

[Flame-returns]

She has a remarkably male face, quite similar to yours (caption contest)

 

[Duke]

I'm sure that this is only a momentary cease fire. Hostilities will almost certainly spring back up. I'll enjoy it for the moment though.

Actually, we arrived at this conclusion last time around, too... that marriage should not necessarily exist except by contract. We've also always stipulated that religious weddings were purely the domain of the church in question.

If you don't mind my asking, were you married in a church?

Yeah, I know what that feels like. Don't worry about it. I was also having a very strong headache at that moment I mentioned (well, reading for almost 4 hours straight can do that to you).

 

[Duke]

I shouldn't be reading or answering this, but it's an honest and direct question and I don't mind answering it on that basis.

Yes, we were married in a church, despite being nonreligious. I'll explain why.

We felt strongly that the covenant of marriage was our promise to each other, not to God, or the state, or even the audience. Therefore the presiding official, be it clergy or clerk, was largely irrelevant to the proceedings. However, in order to secure the rights we wanted, we needed some form of official ceremony.

We investigated civil ceremonies. Frankly the ceremony was small, short, and held in the basement of the courthouse - not exactly celebratory. So we opted for a church wedding in order to have a better setting/environment for ourselves and our guests. We found an Episcopal minister willing to marry us and we discussed the situation with him fairly straightforwardly. As we said, the pledge is strictly between us as husband and wife so the religious aspects of the ceremony didn't really enter the equation.

 

[Danoff]

I'd like to chip in here as well if you don't mind Brian.

I was married in a banquet hall that specializes in doing marriages. It was not a church, though we did a have a pastor preside over the ceremony. We used the pastor because he was a friend of a friend and was familiar with weddings. He allowed us to write his script so we took out all of the religious business except for a few excerpts from the bible that we thought were appropriate - very secular stuff that isn't religion specific.

By using the bible as a source of quotations we were able to do what Duke mentioned above - make sure everyone in the audience was comfrotable. Some of my relatives might have had a problem if they had perceived that we were purposely being non-religious with our ceremony. Quoting the bible while not making any specific references to God gave those people the illusion of religion in a ceremony that was totally devoid of it.

It's a tricky thing - making sure your relatives are happy with the ceremony while not betraying your own beliefs (or lack of). We went into the ordeal with the idea that the ceremony was not for us at all but for our families and so we did our best to make sure they were happy.

And that's why I think weddings are stupid in general. Not marriage, but weddings. Trying to make everyone happy except for the couple. What kind of garbage is that?

 

[Danoff]

Well I look at it as an opportunity for the extended families to meet and get to know each other - at least a little bit. If it was up to us when the wedding approached, we would have just gone down to the JP and signed the document - but ironically enough, most of our family had more personally invested in the wedding than we did.

I didn't really care if people saw me say "I will" (yea we changed that), but my parents and my grandparents sure as hell did.

 

[Duke]

Actually, our wedding was entirely about making us happy. We didn't do it for appearances or because we thought we ought to or for any other reason than it was what we wanted.

We didn't want to just go down to the JP and get sworn. We wanted a little more celebration than that, so we borrowed the Episopal service.

We also de-religioned our ceremony as much as possible, we only really invited people we wanted to see, and we cooperated in every thing we chose or made or designed. We had a great time all day, despite the usual snafus and lousy weather. The only problem was we were exhausted by the end of the reception, but that was it.

 

[Danoff]

I might have felt that way too if we had actually wanted a big ceremony or if we'd been paying for the event.

 

[Der Alta]

And that's why I think weddings are stupid in general. Not marriage, but weddings. Trying to make everyone happy except for the couple. What kind of garbage is that?

I had vowed to stay out of this debate, as my thoughts are not needed.

My wedding was outside on top of a mountain. Yes, it was a minister and a religious ceremony, but it was mainly about two people joining together. A nice big BBQ, and appetizers. We did our pictures right there, so everyone could snap off shots of their own. We did our ceremony for us. My parents and her parents wanted a church wedding.

I completely agree with Duke and Danoff. Where doesn't matter. Who and the love between them is what matters.
