Can’t wait for that bill.
Man I wish I could have scored this sweet deal in my straight marriage…

…Traditional Marriage? Do they really know what they are talking about?
Every time I hear someone talking about “traditional marriage” I want to be like, “Which kind? The one where the husband can have seven wives or the one where she’s technically his property now?”

Sometimes stupid questions require answers. So here’s mine.
Me.
I was at a party. There was this guy whom I was friends with who kept flirting with me. I told him I was flattered, but I wasn’t gay. He said cool. I passed him another beer.
Then we continued being friends.

Less hate crimes and bullying. The more people who can show the world that gay is normal, the less likely culturally, kids will think its cool to bully and abuse other kids who may be gay or may have gay parents. So a decrease in violence, a decrease in gay teen suicide, and a decrease in old outmoded cultural stereotypes that hurt everyone. Currently, gay teens are 5 times more likely than their straight counterparts to end their life, as they get bullied at home as well as at school.
So basically the apocalypse.
What are the unforeseen consequences of the legalization of gay marriage in the United States?
Next time you hear someone whine about the secret gay agenda, just remind them that the secret anti-gay agenda spends tripple to make sure gay people remain second class citizens. Jesus is probably wondering how many starving people that $330 million could feed … just sayin.

are u gay
??
Nope. Got a wife and kid.
Just tired of my closest friends being picked on because some people who thought the wheelbarrow was advanced technology wrote a book 30 years after the death of a charismatic leader, and thought they had everything down so accurately that they still attempt to interpret it literally today. Tell me a story you can remember accurately from 30 years ago, I’ll buy you a coke.
It’s a great moral guidebook, with many great lessons. However, it is not a scientific text. It’s a bunch of parables, selectively edited by powerful men, written decades after Jesus’s death. Basically, some people on the tail end of their lives, without any sort of recording technology, wrote some great and some silly stuff that we must take verbatim or frogs will land on our heads.
Or I can look at the science. With a spoonful of great friends who I know are awesome as gravy.
I’ll put my faith in my friends, rather than interpret a great religious leaders words to mean we must persecute those who are different than us. I think Christianity has a lot to offer, but it’s more obtuse representatives seem to totally misinterpret the teachings of its leader.
from the astute tomdec (the guy I got the GOP quote from that got me all these reblogs):
The story of yesterday’s gay marriage vote in New York isn’t that it was approved, but how it came to be approved. New York isn’t the first state to allow gay couples to marry, but it indicates an amazing milestone for the movement. Why?
1. It was a GOP-controlled Senate that passed it.

The power of tumblr compels me. Thanks to the encouragement of 9000 people reblogging something I copied and pasted, with the number still growing, which wasn’t anything I actually wrote, I thought it might be good to offer something of substance on my blog, now that I have 650 more people reading this who probably don’t care about pictures of my kid. So I’m going to repost a couple of my equality answers that I wrote on my favorite site, Quora. PS: If anyone knows who created the awesome I Love NY Equality Image, let me know so I can give them proper credit in the post.
Today’s question: What are all the arguments against gay marriage?

Thank you to all who voted for me, and a huge thank you to Michael Shay of hummingbirdminds for nominating...
Settlers of Catan manages such a similar experience to the board game version (especially if you celebrate wins with confetti) that I can’t suggest...
I fixed Focus On the Family’s commercial that aired during the bronco game last night. It had a few missing things that needed to be added.
