Adam and Steve can now get married in NY...

[TripletDaddy]

My good half hopes this. You don't want to know what my evil half hopes.

Speaking of your evil half, can a brother get a little "BUMP" jpg every once in awhile???

Also, since same sex marriage became legal in Massachusetts on May 17, 2004, Boston has enjoyed the following:

Patriots, 2005 Super Bowl champs (2004 season)
Red Sox, 2007 World Series champs
Celtics, 2008 NBA Finals champs
Bruins, 2011 Stanley Cup champs

You didn't even metion BC and BU's NCAA hockey championships!

Go SOX!

I'm completely apathetic toward gay marriage, but I think the opponents will be greatly surprised at how little their lives will be affected should it be legalized across the U.S.

Why do you think the opponents believe their lives will be greatly affected? As an opponent, I don't.

And as for Rome, it had one heck of a run. We can only hope that our nation takes as long to crumble. Though this has absolutely nothing to do with gays or marriage.

If not, then why oppose it?

I'm sure that's all been covered. But I've never heard anyone make the argument that it should be opposed because it would greatly affect my (your, or his) individual life. The fact that it won't is not much of an argument against the case for marriage. There are countless laws, some of them good, that have no great affect on my life. I also oppose changing those good laws.

Really?

I heard a lot of that during Prop 8. Something I hear LDS say a lot is that it will somehow affect our ability to perform hetero-only marriages in our temples and buildings. Others claim that it is a giant step toward the moral disintegration of our society, etc.

Seems to me that most anti-SSM arguments are somehow tied to the fact that it will lead to a negative result for the rest of us Het'ros.

Really? That was one of the standard arguments during the Prop 8 blitz. That it would drastically change all of our lives, especially those who are children.

And a little something thrown in for good measure:

[All-American]

Rome is used ad nauseum by the anti gay marriage crowd as justification for their position. I would have picked another metaphor.

Greece?

This is ironic. How will the legitimization of gay marriage affect people who don't agree with gay marriage? Louis CK says it won't at all . . . as he calls them stupid, idiots, and their children ugly faggots.

That's extreme, but the mockery and scorn just in this little outpost of the Internet by some active members of the Church says all we need to know about the future for those who disagree. It will be one whole shitload of DDD's pitiful and plastic arrogance; the mockery of never taking it seriously.

Yeah probably. However, mockery is a fairly light sentence given what gay people have been through in our society.

My guess is that over time there will be fewer and fewer people feel that gay marriage is wrong and immoral (a big leap I know). There is almost no doubt that these people's ideas will be marginalized in society. However, I am sure there will always be some people that will dislike the notion of married gay couples. Don't worry Levin you will always be able to find some like-minded people. If you desire you will be able meet together and plan marches or rallies for your cause. Thanks to this great nation of ours you can continue to protest in the streets even when the rest of the nation shakes their head at you. Hell, there is still people today that think that Jim Crow law was a great idea and they are free to believe and speak what they like though their speech be layered in bigotry. Isn't this country great?
