So I was thinking... You know how these days when we're in school [for those of us who are still in school] and we learn about slavery and segregation and we think to ourselves "How one earth could we have gone on so long being okay with this? Separate schools and drinking fountains and hospitals even for blacks? Man, if I were around those days I would have though that was bullshit..." and things of that nature. At least, that's how thought of it. What about gay marriage? It has just become legal in my state, NY, for gay couples to get married as they please. But I know there are still a ton of states where it's illegal, and I have to wonder why we're still fighting it. I've heard all the reasons but seriously, you can't fight gay couples forever. Their not giving up, their not going anywhere, and their becoming more widely accepted by the day. I predict some day gay marriage will become something commonplace, and future generations will learn about how we wouldn't allow gay couples to get married, how much of a hard time we gave them, and they'll wonder what was up our asses. I may be wrong but with the way things are going, it sounds about right to me. I'm not gay, for the record, but I have many friends who are, my best friend is in fact, and I was so happy for him when he said he could now get married in NY. Sad that anyone ever thought they had the right to tell him he couldn't in the first place.
Anyway, discuss openly. Don't bash gay people in here, for god sakes, though you people are civil enough, I hope, to keep that sort of thing to yourselves.

Fresnel F0rk Tongue Their not giving up, their not going anywhere, and their becoming more widely accepted by the day. Hear those sirens? That's the grammar police. Y'know, it's probably quite telling how much that bothered me... Anywho, I'm sure it will be, and it'll be a momentous day fifty years from now when we elect a gay president, but nobody will remember what things were like back then (now). History, as they say, is written by the winners. Yeah that was pretty bad.

Very good observation. I've been comparing gay marriage to segregation for a long time now. And it really is just a repeat of history. That's how I know that within the next few years, gay marriage will be completely, utterly, legal, without exception.

GREEEEEEEEEEEN Fresnel GREEEEEEEEEEEN IT'S OKAYYYY TO BE GAYYYY. biggrin
Yeah, and after gay marriage gets legalized, in 40 years bestiality will be legal. I'm totally for gay marriage though. You people say that like it's not already legal. The only restriction is a weight limit. Whoa, whaaaa? I thought it was illegal. : In some states. I think it's about 25 states on either side. I think in my state it has to be under 50 pounds, but I could be wrong on the exact weight.
ETA: ED saiz: Quote: In the United Kingdom, any animal that has died is classed as a foodstuff, regardless of what type of animal it is. It's not illegal to ******** food. If your pet dog was to have a fatal "accident" and you were to "accidentally" place your p***s into its dead a**s, that would be no more illegal than smearing jam on your c**k.
