Aww..that's sweet.

I don't know, this seems to imply that the life experience of gay people is pretty similar to heterosexual people, and this doesn't make any sense to me. Where was the cross dressing? The slap fights? The poisoning of the chilluns because of the evil gay virus?

Next we'll see a sweet little video about how normal it is to marry turtles or maybe be Al Qaeda. I mean come on. It's okay if you want to be a degenerate but don't pretend like your perversion has anything to do with the defacing books and popcorn and birthday cake and roller coasters and mothers dying that I enjoy.

i think we should ban heterosexual marriage rather than legalize gay marriage. What does the state have to do with relationships ?

thats always been my argument. governments should perform civil unions. marriages would be the domain of religion.

oh, and i dont think most people have a problem with those gays.

Think of them as the gay equivalent of Kardashians. Best to ignore in the larger context.

hubiestubert: The best thing about marriage equality in Massachusetts was watching couples in their 60s and 70s finally able to marry. Folks who'd lived together, grown old together, laughed together, cried together, made lives and homes together.

My old 9th grade math teacher (now retired) finally got married to his guy a few years back. Apparently one of the first in my province when the courts ruled that the ban was firmly unconstitutional. :-)

I'd worry about you getting bites with this, but...well, Poe's Law and all.

Nice music as well.

I think Argentina is also running an add campaign about discrimination. Basically they show heterosexual people doing what they normally do and suddenly getting thrown out of restaurants, arrested in the street for 'causing scenes' etc, and then when the camera turns back to the people to get their reaction after being treated so unfairly they're replaced with GLBT people.

Of all the things over the years that I've tried to submit that have failed, I'm glad this is the one of the few that made it.

Where's the woman he was going to marry? Did that doofy guy at the end kill her or something? No dust here.

To be fair, they also have a problem with those kinds of straights, too. They're pretty sure you're not supposed to enjoy sex, never mind actually display fetishism of any sort (except prudishness) in public.

Well, looks like de Beers have a new demographic for diamond rings.

Tillmaster: Well, looks like de Beers have a new demographic for diamond rings.

TBH, I think De Beers and competition should jump on the bandwagon. Make a few ads saying, "Yeah, it's good for business, but it's also the right policy anyways."

I never thought I'd ever see the words 'de Beers' and 'competition' in the same sentence.

Super dusty ; ;

Very nice. I did tear up a little.

Why shouldn't the state recognize love? I agree with conservatives: marriage is important, marriage is a valuable institution, marriage helps to create a more stable society and more invested citizens. I do believe the state should encourage loving people to commit to one another and forge partnerships for life, to support each other, perhaps to raise children. And though I say partnerships, civil unions don't cut it. It's too much of a cave, too much of a compromise. It sets us aside as, literally, a second class.

Furthermore, what would abolishing marriage do for homophobia? The conservatives already say we want to or are destroying marriage, you think we should destroy it for real? So much of this fight for gay marriage rights isn't about marriage itself, it's about being recognized as essentially the same as heterosexuals. It's about being viewed as equals, not as a controversial other. Eliminating marriage altogether would be a step backward.

This abolish marriage argument, and I've heard it so many times before, is a lame excuse for compromise chosen by people who want to pussyfoot around in the middle and seem "reasonable." It leaves neither side happy.

/I'm a bit tired, I hope this is coherent

so wait, did the dude's mom die from a heart attack after finding out her son was gay or did she get AIDS from hugging the boyfriend?

Having recently married my wife, and being very happily in love with her, I can't imagine someone telling me I wouldn't be allowed to do so. My number one reason for supporting gay marriage, ironically, is my straight marriage.

2nd time around, I LOL'd at the pink dishwashing gloves!

And as stated already: Gov't should provide CIVIL UNIONS equally to ALL, churches should remain free to MARRY whomever they chose, as religion is a chosen lifestyle.

My allergies are kicking up. Excuse me...

I'm a little disgusted, that's all.

LOL WUT?

Nice strawman argument there. If it's not between consenting adults, it's not something that should be legal.

For example: Two men going to town on one another? Should be legal.

A man trying to have sex with a 12 year old boy? Should NOT be legal.

Excellent ad! Might have to show that to my youth group!

What I learned from that ad is that Australians go to the beach a lot.

Devolving_Spud: And as stated already: Gov't should provide CIVIL UNIONS equally to ALL, churches should remain free to MARRY whomever they chose, as religion is a chosen lifestyle.

So anyone that doesn't believe in your magical sky wizard can't get married?

Not in your church, they can't. That's the religion's prerogative.

Damn winter allergies

seems pretty gay to me. but what do i know?

Ahh, here we go with semantics again. Don't know how it works in Australia but in the US all marriages are civil unions because marriage is a civil contract. No religion need be involved in that contract at all. You can have your preferred religious authority perform the ceremony or you can have a non-religious authority perform it, but in the end, regardless of who performs the ceremony, every one signs the same piece of paper, which is a purely civil contract.

This whole "government should do civil unions and religion should do marriage" is just a way to appease the homophobes I guess, but I don't really see it working because the only legally recognized form of partnership would be civil unions which is what the homophobes don't want gays to have in the first place.

Man, wouldn't that make some peoples' heads explode? :-D

yeah, i finished.
