GAY Weddings

Just go if you really want to! It'll be fun

I agree with the others. Honestly, I have never in my life met any nicer people then gay men. My sister is in a dance program at school and almost half the boys are gay(or metro maybe), and they are all so nice to me except one very annoying one who bothers me. My brother lives in Washington D.C. in a gay neighborhood, he is NOT gay, but he moved there because it was nice, low crime area, and it was close to his job, and he made friends with alot of gay men. When we go down there we meet some of them, and they are all really nice.

My point, they don't deserve the crap they are getting from other people. Show them your support and just go if you want to.

I myself would go, no matter what other people thought. If these guys are good friends, then other peoples opinions/views dont matter.

[sasvermont]

I would go. No doubt about it. It may not be comfortable for you, but go anyway.

Have a good time. Life can be short. Play like it is! Enjoy the day and your friends.

I stood up for my sister at her ceremony when she "married" her partner. (Gay marriage is not legal in Ohio) And I was invited to my cousin’s marriage to his partner this past summer in NJ, but I could not attend but would have been there in a heartbeat if time allowed.

It's all about supporting those that you love.

[Pawsitive Thinking]

If you want to go, go.

Don't let the ignorant prejudice of others ruin an important day for your friends.

[Daisy and Delilah]

I agree with what Karen said and many others.

If these guys are your friends, by all means, go to the wedding and join in the celebration.

I feel sorry for anyone that would feel that it's necessary to target someone in attendance. This prejudice needs to stop in this world.

I think it's great that these fellas love each other so much, they decided to get married and invite all their friends. Enjoy!!

I helped organize & set up a gay wedding for Dec 2ed 2006. I went & there were no issues, except most of the guests didn't show up & the ones that did, left right after dinner. Very few of them wanted to be there. It was all us young adults that stayed & partied.

Now these gay men are NOT nice... I know many nice ones, but I wanted to point out that gay men are still human & can still be horrible people.

But in general, they tend to be far more pleasent.

You got some great advice here. Go, have a wonderful time and wish the couple a long, happy life.

[Romance]

Thank You

[mina'smomma]

Yes there are narrowminded people who can't evolve past what they think should be. I would go if I were you just to show your support for your friend and they life partner. If they want to be idiots let them. You're obviously above that.

[mike001]

Well Romance you sure do have your answer.
CATTY----I'm rolling around laughing here, of course they invited some "straight "people----they invited Romance and she's married and straight....lol. That was cute, I'm real tired today, so it doesn't take much to make me giggle.

Heck not worse than what I was just reading a few days ago----don't know where exactly but a Mormon guy was arrested for having a bunch of wives.
That really surprised me because I thought they all had lots of wives, didn't know they made it illegal. Of course I don't follow that junk too closely, just that this was in a newspaper that was left in a restaurant I went to.

Go and enjoy yourself you spoiled brat Romance.

[cyber-sibes]

I consider it an honor to be invited to a freind's wedding. If they invited you, they want you there. In this world there will always be people who don't like who you are, what you do, or how you live your life. They probably weren't on the guest list, so why worry? Enjoy!

[Catty1]

Mike - what I MEANT was (and it wasn't entirely clear):

The straight people that harrass gays - if these harrassers see straight people going to and enjoying a gay wedding, they will feel less certain of their actions and 'wimp out'. Make sense?

As in - not all straight people hate gay people, and that fact will surprise the harrassers....

[mike001]

Oops, I guess I did misunderstand what you meant, sorry about that. It's just that we see so much prejudice here. But I thought you didn't realize that Romance was straight, I kind of got the giigles from that. Of course you are right about attending and standing up for your friends and what your feelings are.
