That's gay.

you girls coming in for dinner, or eatting out?

Yeah, because you know ... it's not a choice, really, and if you swung bi in college and the decided to stop then you imply that their choices are what determine their actions, and not a natural, inborn, unconscious, insurmountable to do people of the same gender.

/ lots and lots of women I know were gay in college.
// most gave it up for cock, babies and social acceptance.
/// and they figured out that biatches be crazy.

What about - When you are doing it, which one's the lady?

Which one of you is the top?

FTA: "So, which one of you is the bride?"

If you get your ass beat after asking that, you can assume the other one is the bride.

Can I join you ?

Can I watch?

rubi_con_man: / lots and lots of women I know were gay in college.

I think the term for this is still "has-bian"

You really got to walk on eggshells around those types?

What a coincidence, I was retarded for a while in law school.

I'll never forget the day that I went for a cake tasting with a pair of my brides. We arrived to a bakery where I'd been plenty of times before and had great experiences. When she saw us, the assistant who greeted us that day said, "So, which one of you is the bride?"

I get it. Three women. Surely one of them must be the bride, another the Maid of Honor and the third a sister or the planner -- or anyone but another bride. Right?

I was fairly horrified,

Get over it. I have had less than common circumstances in previous relationships. People made assumptions when they first met us based on the information they had. I gently corrected them. Not that big of a deal.

/current gf has two children from a previous relationship and the kids are bi-racial
//people ask if we adopted
///whatever

If I ever get into a swordfight, I hope you guys have my back.

So all this time gays wanted the wedding planning experience? You can keep it.

"...even though I knew my clients would ultimately have a good experience if they did choose that cake (they didn't). I was horrified because it's my job to make sure this doesn't happen, and that day I failed myself and my clients. I should have called ahead to remind the bakery that the appointment was with a same-sex couple, even though I mentioned it when making the appointment. I should have and I didn't. "

Horrified that she didn't do her job to make the experience as comfortable for her clients as possible.

"If there are 2.3 million straight weddings a year, gay weddings will never come close to touching that number. "

It's only gay if the weddings touch

Grow thicker skin.

Just because you can choose to be a redhead doesn't mean that others aren't born redheads.

are you ready to leave or are you still packing shiat?

Hell yes. Most humorless, insecure, reactionary people on the planet.

amen to that sister/brother

Gender roles are archaic and potentially offensive to couples. Ask open ended questions instead, like "What are you going to wear to your wedding?"

This is what's wrong with America today. I have no problem with gay weddings but this kind of P.C. shiat is unacceptable. Gender roles are archaic? Seriously?

It's amazing what liberal white guilt can do.

Can I push in your stool?

If her clients were uncomfortable at all they need to get over it too.

Aproves

Disposable Rob: FTA: The word "homosexual" has all kinds of negative connotations related to the early days when it was actually considered a mental disorder to be gay.

Wait, so homosexual is like negro now? Like in that it went from not only socially acceptable, but the preferred term by the minority into a negative term?

but do they still call each other homos?

In female prisons I am told the label is "gay for the stay".

We always called them a "LUG" - Lesbian until graduation.

having met quite a few prelaw undergrads I think that probably goes without saying

jst3p: If her clients were uncomfortable at all they need to get over it too.

again, missing the point. Her job as the planner is to make the experience as pleasant as possible - to remove the stress and annoyances that come with planning a wedding. Since she didn't take steps to avoid this misunderstanding, she failed at her job.
It is not whether they were uncomfortable and she doesn't say that they were. They very well might not be because it's a pretty normal sort of mistake. However, she was horrified for having failed to avoid the potential for an uncomfortable situation

No, you say that to opposite sex couples since you can then be the meat.
/Not bi
/not gay
/not that there's blah blah blah

So the rules are, be professional, and don't be a dick to potential clients? What a REVOLUTIONARY concept! No wonder the economy's in the crapper.

It's like meeting a paraplegic and saying, "So nice to meet you. I sprained my ankle in college and had to use crutches."

Which one is the bride? The one with the Hattori Hanzo sword, duh!

"Yes, we will plan homosexual weddings here."
The word "homosexual" has all kinds of negative connotations related to the early days when it was actually considered a mental disorder to be gay. Stay away from that term!

Boo Hoo, Cant Say HOMOSEXUAL!!!!. ok, Well are completely equipped to plan a queer wedding.

"So will there be drag queens and show tunes at this wedding?"

yes...

Seems like a molehill to me.

Would this be wrong too?

Oh you're lesbians?

My Grandma's Dutch-Irish and my Grandpa's Lesbian, That makes me Quarter Lesbian!

I know exactly how that couple must've felt. This one time, I pulled into a full service gas station and the attendant asked me, "Regular or Premium?" I was fairly horrified. I should've called ahead and let them know I was driving a fully electric car. All I wanted was my windows wiped and my tire pressure checked. I forgave the attendant for his accidental oversight, but needless to say I drove off with a filthy window.

It's a damn dirty shame that being an imbecile isn't fatal.

Among other things, yes.

You mean it's wrong to show up in a pirate costume and yell "Scissor me timbers?"

Conversely, if a caterer/wedding planner/whatever does somehow assume that it is a heterosexual couple, it's is considered good manners to gently correct them. A proper business would take the correction and proceed to do what you hired them to do.

Of course, there are those assholes out there who decide that that allowing a gay couple to rent their function space is Against God and wait until right before the wedding to suddenly kick them out.

If she's going to claim to be an educator then she needs to accept that these are teaching moments. And generally to speak, as a society, we should treat all such instances of misunderstanding as such. We have this constant fear in this country of actually getting to know one another.

"Whose the bride?"

Really? Wow, major offensive. What else should she say? "Who is a bride?" "Among the three of you how many of you are getting married to someone else who may or may not also be among the three of you and is interested in looking at wedding cakes?"
