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.

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.

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.

The Baptists seem to think they can pray them better or some such silliness, but the Mormons have been the worst. I'm not sure what their congregational population is but there are a whole bunch of them that are very very nasty. also very vocal hurling insults out loud in public.
I'm going to the wedding, and have decided that I'm no longer going to pretend i don't hear the hurtful words thrown at my friends, I'm going to take a stand...a loud one if necessary.

I wouldn't miss it for the world. They need all the support they can get.

Implying that Mormons and Baptists are "small minded" isn't bashing?Originally Posted by Romance
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.
