GAY Weddings

[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.

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!

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....

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.

[Romance]

Yes, I'm straight. Just because someone's lifestyle choice is not my choice I don't feel that I have the right to say who a person can fall in love with. it's not my place. Both these men have been my friends for years. The 2 main groups that are harassing them are mormons and baptists. NO i'm not bashing those groups just stating fact.
....small minds ughh

I have a friend who has been with his partner almost 20 years. We used to laugh over the observation that their partnership has lasted longer than some marriages of some of our mutual friends. We still say that, but we don't laugh as much about it any more; it's hard to see any friend's marriage or relationship fail. These two are in it for the long term, though.

[Catty1]

Romance - have those two religions denounced them publicly, or is it a few members of the congregations that have decided to harrass them?

There are fanatics in every religion, and I am just wondering if these idiots you refer to are not representative of the whole bunch - and whether some of their peers might be quite embarrassed at the prejudice being shown.

Implying that Mormons and Baptists are "small minded" isn't bashing?

This is where the controversy comes into play. Blaming religious organizations in general. I am not going to post further on this, but just wanted to explain that yes, this does bring opinions / controversy to the subject and thus belongs in the Dog House.
