According to today's Boston Herald, here is what the very first recipient of a Provincetown MA same-sex marriage license has to say about marriage:
"[Jonathan Yarbrough] says the concept of forever is 'overrated' and that he, as a bisexual, and [his partner Cody] Rogahn, who is gay, have chosen to enjoy an open marriage. `I think it's possible to love more than one person and have more than one partner, not in the polygamist sense,' he said. `In our case, it is, we have, an open marriage...'"

Same as Rosie, to get their 15 minutes.
Hoggamus, higgamus,
Men are polygamous,
Higgamus, hoggamus,
Women monogamous.
Ding, ding, ding! We have a winnah!
To shove it in the rest of our faces.
This is part of the homosexual activists' agenda.
Bump to your post.
But... that's immoral!
These marriages are for economic gain and to push a political agenda. They also are intended to poke a finger in the eye of the "straight" community.
I guess they equate a license with societal acceptance. Wrong! Most of us still think their behavior is aberrant.
I was just about to post a similar thought. If the 'right' (barf) to marriage and monogamy aren't why they're getting 'married', then why?
Two big reasons -
#1 - MONEY! Healthcare is ever more expensive and hard to get. And we all get to absorb the higher costs and healthcare rationing. Barf.
and #2 - to make a sham out of marriage, what marriage used to be. Not perfect, by any means, but most treated it as a commitment, even if they failed. Now it's just some sideshow or SNL skit.
I wonder how many bothered with a pre-nupt?
From what I have read, the homosexuals are getting the three-day waiting period and STD/measles blood test waived, why I cannot fathom.
perhaps not. the national trend for businesses is currently to include domestic partners in the insurance plans. any "legal" marriage is already covered. perhaps when the charges get too high they will consider eliminating coverage, but it is difficult to take anything away from employees.
But But this can't be...
All I've heard is that all gay marriages are perfect, with 2 committed and loving people unlike those nasty hetrosexual marriages which have abuse, infidelity, divorce etc.
Can it possibly be true that all gays and gay marriages aren't perfect?
What is this world coming too...he says sarcastically
Low-budget conception of marriage. This incredible statement is great PR for the good guys.
They have a long way to go to catch up.
Most of us do - now. But what of the teens debating it in schools (most who disagree are shouted down, even in rural areas) and the group of middle school kids who went to 'witness' gay 'weddings' today in Boston. They cheered when the 'ceremonies' were finished. (searching for link...) Not to mention the 'children' of these unions. We might disagree now, but in a generation or less who will dissent? And those who do, at the rate the changes are being effected at this time, are likely to be charged with hate speech or religious extremism. Already we hear these accusations being tossed around. They want societal legitimacy and acceptance, even if they have to force it down our throats. And we can't just accept and legitimize, we have to like it.
80% of married men cheat in America.
The other 20% cheat in Europe.

Just a minor point here... I propose that we abandon the term "gay" in favor of "homosexual". These people aren't gay, they're usually mad as hell. OTOH "Homosexual" is judgementally neutral and technically accurate.
Having a young Cary Grant come tripping in off the stone balcony through the exquisite french doors wearing his play tuxedo, and claiming "I feel gay" just wrecks the movie. I want the word "gay" back. It was truthlessly misappropriated by homosexual activists in the sixties and I want it back.
Therefore, from now on, please refer to homosexuals as homosexuals, not "gays".
Your attention is appreciated.
