GAY Weddings

[Karen]

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?

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.

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.

No one was bashing any religion. Some of us gave examples of how SOME of these people act...we din't include the whole religion. I was stating that the teen who got beaten up and died was an act carried out by Mormons, it was widespread news on the radio, tv and newspapers.
I don't give a hoot what religion people choose as long as they act in a Christian manner.
Killing someone over his lifestyle is not Christian in my book.

I'VE BEEN BOO''D

Who are you addressing here? I was quoting what Romance said .... basically saying the same as you but I sense your comment was directed at me? I am confused.

EDIT: I re-read my post and assume you took the following of my statements incorrectly.

[QUOTE=kimlovescats]Implying that Mormons and Baptists are "small minded" isn't bashing?

I was ASKING a question .... not making a statement. In otherwords, I guess to make it more understandable, I could have said ... "So YOU are saying that Mormons and Baptists are "small minded". Is that clear now?

I was answering the post in a general way. And if I know Romance she meant it the same way that I explained it, she wouldn't bash a whole community, but she would say what's on her mind about a certain group of people. There are narrow minded people everywhere but not all of them express their views as openly as some do. Killing a young lad in my opinion goes beyond small minded.

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.
