Great news to hear, regardless of how you feel personally about getting married.

it's mainly focused on liturgical rites but has already had some interesting comments on pre-modern marriage in general. anyone read this? would be interesting to hear an informed opinion on the book's scholarship (drew? casuistry, if u there?)
v happy about the overturning of prop 8 btw

"Ah to be 22, washed up and fuckin' through. You're a pair of K-mart shoes: plastic and phony and with the belief that happiness in life is matrimony. Padlocked to wedlock cuz time's a wastin' to hurry up and waste your life in marriage. Entrapment = death, caught in a web, sentenced to a harsh life of eating meals together and sharing the same bed, ick! How about you just invite me to the divorce instead. Skip the serenade and the bullshit promises your mom and dad would've made. Honeymoon narcosis brains in a love-bong like anyone really waits that long cuz the way I see it you were already fucked way before you ever got fitted for the stupid tux. You are fucking losers, and I hope your kids are ugly."

The time to insult guys rushing to get married -- as I do now with straight couples I know -- is after you've got the legal right to get married in the first place.

roll your damn eyes all you want, i know i'm the only one on this thread (and possibly this entire board) that feels the way i do.
i don't feel like arguing it any longer.
but mostly because i love you guyz.
if it makes you happy, i'm happy for you.

So silly that you included a sizable excerpt AND the YouTube, especially after you've made your views clear on the subject on several threads.

I'm thirty-five and if you wanna compare notches on our bedposts I can play that game, but excerpting a third-rate song to adduce how purportedly trangressive your experiences are is some trolling bullshit.

1. Charles Bronson were fucking awesome. Sorry the lyrics are way silly, but they were an awesome band. Especially live.
2. I don't want to compare anything with anyone. I don't really understand where you got that from, to be honest.

i mean, my sexual experiences have nothing to do with the way i feel about marriage. i only care whether you are happy with whatever sex you are getting.
like seriously, sorry if i pissed anyone off. it was a troll move.
― pounding beats of worship (the table is the table), Thursday, 5 August 2010 03:20 (fourteen years ago) link
It was a troll move for me to even bring it up in the first place. But it was definitely an irony to note.
No matter; five years from now, all of us in the States will find it our legal option to be duly gentrified.

Like...I am invested in the legality of gay marriage in America insofar as DOMA etc. is discriminatory and stupid, and people should have the right to get married if they so choose, but to some extent this seems so foreign to me.
I live in a country where gay marriage has been legal since 2003, and a province where, gay or straight, a sizeable percentage (if not a majority) of people don't bother getting married at all. Quebec is all about common law partnerships, basically. Kind of rocks my world (and pisses me off) that people are still so scandalized by the idea of a couple of dudes or chicks marrying each other. Hopelessly antiquated, and fucking depressing that y'all are still dealing with this, when there are so many more important and less morally obvious issues to work on.

Which is to say, yay for the defeat of Prop 8, let's hope it sticks so fagz can get married, and we can all start bickering over things either more important or more trivial.

I have been listening to "Future Lovers" (from Confessions) sort of nonstop since that dude and I danced to it in his living room last week. Erotica is probably my favorite album, tied with Ray of Light. I mean, it's the one where she does "house"! Also, "Rain".

does "more trivial" mean more obsessive 40-post streaks about all this awful music you guys like?

OK, this is probably stupid of me to bring up BUT snark/smugness/quips aside:
Tabes, it is quite clear how you feel abt marriage (gay/straight alike) and apparent that you have little interest in getting one, but do you feel that the option should be at least afforded to those who are really into it?
― En Moog (Stevie D), Thursday, 5 August 2010 13:12 (fourteen years ago) link
i didn't really respond in full last night because honestly i was pissed off and needed some time to process my reaction. but anyway:
same-sex marriage may be equivalent for legal purposes to heterosexual marriage but they are NOT symmetrical, culturally speaking, and i don't think they can or should be! and i think that bemoaning gay marriage as 'gentrification' just obscures the fact that marriages, gay AND straight, can be as queer and unconventional as the partners involved; there are many different purposes of marriage and each union expresses those purposes in their own unique proportion. equal legal recognition just ensures that gays can enjoy *all* of those purposes fully.
i really feel i have a personal stake in this issue, so i definitely personalized ted's posts as an attack (especially since they immediately followed my post on the subject), even if it wasn't intended as such.
so. just had to say something. return to trivial pursuits if you like. :\

also in the UK we have gay marriage of a sort, and have done for five years or so, except it's called "civil partnership" and you can't legally call yourself "married". this is set to change pretty soon, i think. i hope. i'm all for marriage!
