Apparently no aspect of Western culture is impervious to the in-your-face tastelessness of the homosexual movement. Imagine dragging yourself through the grim task of selecting a casket for a lost loved one and being confronted with this:
Funeral directors in Germany are bidding for the pink pound — by launching coffins specially designed for gay customers.
The caskets feature homoerotic artwork on the outside and come with a series of tastefully luxurious plush designer interiors, say makers Mike Konigsfeld and Tom Brandl in Cologne, Germany.
The designers — who have lived together for more than 10 years — say the images of muscular young men in classical poses are the perfect way to send off a loved one.
They're sure to find a market. Due to the extreme unhealthiness of the homosexual lifestyle, its proponents are more likely to die before they've had a chance to discover decorum.
Same with me and personally, I think a plain, pine box is just fine. Simplicity and not the cost of all those we see today. I would like a plain pine box. As you said...Freedom at its best.
Actually I’m not offended by anything anyone else does like this. It is THEIR CHOICE. If I don’t happen to like it it’s tough cause I’m not paying for it nor do I want it and as you said “It is NONE of my business.”
I expect others to do the same thing...if more people minded their own business there would be less “White Noise” in this world.

Still don’t care.

You took the words right out of my mouth!
Gives a whole new meaning to burying a stiff.
In case their friends want to drop by for a cold one?
I was speaking of coffin design and selection, not homosexual activity.
I don't believe any of my comments could be taken as "condoning" homosexual behavior, since I didn't address that, other than to comment that includes obviously dangerous and foolhardy activities. That's hardly "condoning" it, or making what you termed "subversive" statements; I was saying it was stupid.
Nowhere did I say "it's not my business what they do" with regard to their homosexuality. I said only that it was not my business what coffin they choose to be buried in. Please note the difference; I'm sorry again if that was insufficiently clear.
You are welcome to check my FR profile page if you have any doubts as to my beliefs. I wrote that page, and every word is true.
As for Hildy, I do not know them or their posting history, and I happened to agree with their one comment on this thread (#20) which was strictly about coffins and burial rituals. If Hildy, who has been on this forum a lot longer than you or I, is considered a subversive, okay, but that's not my problem to address.
Again, my apologies if I was unclear about the subject of my comments.
Where and what are homosexual burial rituals? Many here who feel strongly about this will no doubt see this as another open door for the nasty business of normalizing homosexuality and the inevitable accusations of Religious intolerance and "hate crimes" when any church synagogue etc fails to honor the wishes to further glorfiy the lifestlyle with a religious ceremony.
"Some kinda locking pin, the best I can figger it."
"FABULOUS"
"Smells like... DINNER!"
Sounds like a variety of furniture porn. ;^)
They have a perfect right to be buried in gay coffins, should that be their desire. And we have a perfect right to poke fun at it.
No idea, and I doubt that there is such a thing. I was just quoting the comment I replied to: "Would I ever opine as to the rituals of others?" I didn't really think about it beyond that.
In this context it's just "how you deal with your dead".
I suppose there's always this way:
And we'll just leave it at that.
Bawney Fwank is racing over for one...
Exactly the point of this thread. Really, those coffins are outlandishly over-the-top! It's unfortunate some folks get all worked up about it, but we'll continue cracking jokes nonetheless. :)
Wouldn't have it any other way.
