GAY Weddings

kim, why are you asking for this thread to be moved to the dog house? i'm asking b/c i'd like to understand your point of view

[Romance]

I thought the dog house was for jokes? I certainly do NOT think prejudice of any kind is a joke. Kim? why do you think this is a humorous thread?

If you read the sticky at the top of Dog House, you will see it was created for topics that may be controversial.

There was a member that posted a LOT of jokes there, as separate threads, and when THAT was discussed, well, it DID belong in the Dog House!

Just my opinion - the question that Romance asked certainly belongs in General. There have followed some discussions of a couple of different religions, etc.

If it gets testy and heated, I think it pretty much will make it to DH. But Kim, you might want to PM Karen directly. This thread is a bit long now, and a PM may get the question to her more quickly.

Just a thought.

No, the Dog Hous is not for jokes, it is for anything that might be controversial, which includes politics. Jokes were only put in the Dog House if they were even a little bit offensive, or had to do with politics. As Gay Marriage is a controversial subject, I will move this into The Dog House.

I don't wish to comment on the subject, I just feel it is controversial and does belong in the Dog House. When you open up things that are controversial, and then it goes even further into religious views / preferences, it gets more intense and potentially hurtful! It's easy to avoid the Dog House if you find discussing "issues" to be upsetting!

Thank you, Karen!

Guess I differ, I don't even think its controversial, well the controversial part is the closed minded folks that think its controversial.

Well obviously it is somewhat controversial if the original poster is in a dilemma to go or not.


I am glad you finally came to a decision Romance and I hope you have a great day. Lots of luck to your friends in their married life.

"Guess I differ, I don't even think its controversial, well the controversial part is the closed minded folks that think its controversial."

I happen to concur with this. I think it's sad it was moved but that's my opinion..take it or leave it. I find it interesting that no one actually POSTED not to go to the wedding for whatever reason.

Just FYI stereotyping everyone from a specific religion as acting a certain way is every bit as small minded as being against gay marriage.

To answer the original post, if they were my friends, yes I would go.

I went to a gay wedding once. It was between a good woman friend
of mine & another lady.My friend & I have been good friends for 20+ years
and I was happy for her. They held the ceremony outside at a beautiful
state park. It was a lovely ceremony.
