I all for keeping my opinion out of other people's lives. If you wanna marry - go for it. If you're dead set against it- don't. Gay or straight. I don't care. Now, do I think the govt should be able to stop people based on their sex and the sex of their partner? No.

i agree with this sentiment. and i am insulted by the hetero liberals in my life who go on and on about their wedding plans and try to engage me in those discussions.

I've never wanted to be married myself, but I think anyone who wants to should be able to. And I think the advantages of marriage should be available equally or not at all, as salmonella said.

i think they got the alias that you've been living under. damn it, now i have her songs in my head. I, I live among the creatures of the night I haven't got the will to try and fight Against a new tomorrow, so I guess I'll just believe it That tomorrow never comes

i was forced to download it last night. i can't get it out of my head.

R U against it?

fuck marriage it's a fairy tale convention. but if pressed to answer reasonably, i agree with salmon_ella.

Because of the marriage laws we have no rights to any of these.

it's not for me. but i think i'd throw a fantastic wedding. people would walk around with champagne to make the boring vows part bareable. they really should do that at weddings and funerals for that matter. but whatever other people want to do is fine with me.

are you implying they don't usually? there is always beveraging at the weddings/funerals i've been to.....copious, even.
