GAY Weddings

[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!!

[moosmom]

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

[Romance]

Thank You

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.

[Alysser]

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.

[critter crazy]

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.

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?

[Catty1]

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.

[kimlovescats]

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!
Kim

[caseysmom]

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