Gay Marriage to Alfred: Your Thoughts

Minnesota back on the chopping block. Starting to consider exit plan.

Huh?

would go for a 4-way marriage with some of you guys under the right terms, just sayin'

Meaning I'll move away if the amendment (which is probably getting to the ballot) passes.

Only if you accept Billy Wilder as a vulgarian, Morbs.

Didn't realize there was one up for consideration

Wtf was I doing back then interrupting delicate dowry negotiations?

You made Alfred lose interest and turn to the arms of brodie. So he chooses a sock and I'm stuck still making love to a sock of another kind.

Mods, rename thread "Marriage to Alfred: Your Thoughts." Thanks!

got it

forks i think that was a joke

marriage to Alfred is serious business

Alfred, do I have to get rid of my wooden souvenir plaque from Che's gravesite?

I'm just hoping this new title attracts some odd Batman fetishists.

presuming this means alexander o'neal will be played at the wedding ceremony, then i am pro-marriage to alfred

Don't criticise my lifestyle...

btw I would totally marry Lord Soto, despite his habit of treating a hairbrush as a microphone.

Bristles facing or away?

(says a lot about a person imho)

If you sharpen it and drive it into Fidel's heart, you'll have won the heart of a community.

Don't you mean Raul's heart?

Nota bene: Jake Gyllenhaal and I are on the outs.

um I love Alfred and wish him the best in his new life and all but this is going to make searching for this as the gay marriage thread (which I do periodically when something newsworthy happens) sorta impossible

I am sure mod will change it back after the ceremony

If you look for me, I'll be there.

xpost

how's this

I should move this thread over to my OKCupid profile.

hahaha

I was just playing around while waiting for some articles to be copy-edited. I'll put the thread title back the way it was unless you guys say not to.

I think 'gay marriage' in the title makes it searchable and we don't want to jinx alfred, do we?

lol works for me

Mazel tov, Alfred!

Eric is the one threatening to relocate in the face of legal discrimination, I think he should be getting the bulk of the proposals.

Yeah, but I'm running away from marriage to Alfred.

Works for me. You'll have to endure my screwball comedy collection though.

Sounds a lot like my conjugal arrangements. 'My Man Godfrey' or 'Bringing Up Baby'? Oh, wait maybe 'The Lady Eve'.

I'm a strict Lover Come Hack To Me honeymooner.

who is that person and did i vote for them

funny to read the first few posts itt with the new thread title in mind.

i know we've covered this a billion times but i've finally come around to thinking that marriage is regressive and civil partnerships/groupings/co-owners of gay or whatever you want to call it are where it's at. the end.

that really only works if you strip the civil benefits of marriage out of all unions and leave "marriage" to be a symbolic religious ceremony, otherwise you are setting up segregated "separate but equal" tracks; also it's likely to be an unsatisfactory answer for gay couple who want to have their marriage performed by their (presumably willing) church

Guess I won't be checking out your ass at Score next Saturday.

yeah, this. so not gonna happen, i know. i guess all i'm saying is if i were offered the choice to marry, i would only consider doing it for tax/legal benefits, and even then i doubt i would do it, just because the word doesn't fit/describe/empower the reality of my current relationship, and i don't really think i can define "marriage" for myself, outside of where it comes from.

alfred why would this decision affect your view of my ass

This thread is about marriage to ME, heathen.

But this is why lots of straights get marrried too!

i mean i used to have more sympathy for gays who wanted to get a "traditional" marriage, but now i gotta say i side more with ilx poster "table is the table," i.e. i think it's a limiting and kind of depressing semantic concession to heteronormative patriarchal capitalist the_west, why would i do that to what keeps my mind/body/emotions happy in the face of all that, "society" etc.

xp but just because you're "taken" doesn't mean we can't "expand the definition" of "taken"!

I'm having those problems as we speak, Matt...
