WBC is pathetic. Most people see these inbred freaks for what they are. The only thing they care about is attention, not God, and not the Bible, which they can't quote accurately to save their life.

It's just a shame these fools with nothing better to do have to impose their ignorance on events like funerals and graduations, and stain such unrepeatable days for the targets of their hatred.

Gotta do what you gotta do, man. Good show.

[Mystirious]

That is adorable I that so much

 

[Mystirious]

I sincerely hope so. I really don't think my mom and younger brother will be an issue. The other two I honestly do not see going well...

Hope that coming out to your mom and brother will go as well as you think

I just wanted to thank everyone again for all of their support. My decision to publicly 'come out' as a gay man on the Hype is something that I have been considering for a few months now. I have received nothing but positive comments since. It means more to me than you can imagine to be accepted in this way. ​

My sincerest thanks to all of you. ​

 

[Violet Lantern]

I hope that your father and sister will be more understanding than you're anticipating, Marx. Best of luck.

Good for you man.

It baffles me that people get upset over who someone sleeps with, marries, or falls in love with.

I hope things work out for you, I can imagine its tough. Baffling as it may be, many still have a very real problem with it. I have a friend who is 28 and still hides it from his parents, has no plans to tell them (though I think they know anyway).

It all seems patently silly to me that its even an issue to people.

Thanks Wildcat. It honestly blows my mind to think that in 2011, things like this are still an issue.

...some people do not come out until their 30's or 40's. It's a shame, but some gays have it very, very hard.

 

[The Mast]

Why are there still debates on gay rights? Why don't they just have all the same rights and why isn't anyone who agrees just labelled a bigot?

Because that's what they are.

I understand in freedom if speech, but it goes too far. There are still platforms of debate for people who deny the holocaust. Why not just say, "No, you're idiots. It happened."?

Oh, well. At least supporting gay rights seems to be the normal option nowadays. Just not in power.

 

[Schlosser85]

People fear what they do not understand.

I will just say that I think the people who think other people should be denied equal rights to themselves and live in shame based on who they're dating are the ones shaming themselves, and more and more of society sees this, and one day these self-righteous people will be looked back on the same way we look back on slaveowners and segregationists.

 

[The Mast]

What bothers me is the argument about the sanctity of marriage.

As if people aren't getting married for visas, publicity or any other manner of superficial reasons. As if people don't get divorced every day.

 

[Marx]

There really is no logical opposition to gay marriage.

 

[The Mast]

If anything, you can quite easily argue why marriage itself is outdated and more archaic than it's worth, that it's even kind of pointless.

Still, my point of view is, if straight people wanna indulge in what I consider to be a hollow ceremony, everyone should be able to.

It's like Bill Hicks said about gays in the military, "Anyone dumb enough to wanna be in the military should be allowed in."

 

[Pink Ranger]

There really is no logical opposition to gay marriage.

Myself, I see no logical reason for anybody, straight or gay, to get married period. The only happy and content married people I have ever met in my life have been widows and widowers.

However, if those of us in the LGBT community want a lifetime partner to nag us about stupid things until the day we die, restrict us to having sex just thrice a year (your birthday, anniversary and Valentines day) and/or take half our crap and a big chunk of all of our future income in a bitter divorce, then we should have that right.

I plan to have sex with my partner more than three times a year.

Just wait. Five years into a monagamous relationship, and you'll be begging for sex like Bruno Mars does in his songs.

prenup

 

[Pink Ranger]

prenup

prenup = $$$$ in excess for lawyers, either trying to enforce it or overturn it (which happens often)

Isn't that still better than losing half your stuff?

 

[Pink Ranger]

Maybe, but you then run the risk of losing half your stuff anyway, not to the ungrateful treacherous amphibian you married but to his/her lawyer and your own.

Never getting married is the best prenup of all. Of course, Hollywood tells me that after writing that, I will meet the love of my life tomorrow, but that's the risk I'm willing to take.
