"Sounds like Micheal needs to get a life, instead of tell others how to live theirs."
Last check I made the Obama Administration has not repealed the constitution and Micheal has the freedom to do it, just as you have the freedom to shoot off about him doing it. The big problem with this issue right now is over 60% of the states have banned the practice of Gay marriage at the ballot box. Gays can't seem to get the message that people in the US don't want this. Most would accept civil unions with nearly all if not all the rights of marriage but they don't think it is valid to lie and call what is not a marriage a marriage.
Ask for something reasonable, you will get it. Many of us who oppose Gay Marriage don't accept the lifestyle as valid but will let you do it as long as you don't rub it in our faces or ask us to participate in the lie that it is marriage. If what you want is legal protection I think that is within easy reach if you ask for that. If you want to call it marriage which it is not, your goal may never be attainable.

"Cute dog" seems to be the only thing one can type without being offensive. Hope to see you on some other threads, they're a little more relaxed there and don't remove post at will.

Yep, hence the diddy. I find this thread good for nothing but laughs at this point, so why not add to the pot?

Gee, we get the LA Times way up here in the Bay Area too!
The poster accused the LA Times of being a conservative rag from OC when she attempted to dismiss a recent headline:
"Voters oppose putting gay marriage back on the ballot, Times/USC poll finds"
Her comments, "and from the LA Times.....please in conservative Orange county." were more than a tad disoriented!

You also have local editions of several large newspapers in the Bay area. In Orange County, most people rely on the LA Times for national and regional news. That was the only comment I was making.

And the point I was making is that it is NOT known as a conservative paper.

Again, Pride parades celebrate our orientation, just as the St. Pat's parade celebrates being Irish. Being Irish, for most Americans is not a "lifestyle". Neither is being homosexual.

It is okay, we all make assumptions, I will forgive you this time. LOL! I am a charger fan, true and true. I record the game because of my work, so I can watch them later. I work PM shift at a mental hospital in Alpine. So have to record them. Direct TV is totally awesome.

LOL! Females on that time of the month can be grumpy women, but with wife pregnant it is ten times worse. The emotional state is OMG! and the cravings. I had to make a late night trip to the store for olives and ice cream, ewwwww, I just said okay honey and got what she wanted, but I couldn't watch her eat it. LOL!

<quoted text>My wife can't stand avocado's but loved and ate them every day when she was pregnant with both kids. Is your wife in the first trimester? I wanted to stay at the Hyatt for three months....she was nuts. Laugh and cry and bitch about the same thing all in a matter of five minutes. I stopped drinking a few years ago but back then Jack Daniels and valium played a big part in my sanity:-)

<quoted text>The St patrick's day parade staterd as Irish millitary serving in english armies as a way to connect to their Irish heritage.It became bigger as the years went by and Irish immigrants wanted to show their pride.
Although I understand you being proud of who you are. What is the parade about?Where is your heritage?Where did you come from?I am confused a bit as to how you compare to immigrants who are celebrating their heritage and remembering their homeland.

They are celebrating who they are, and are proud of who they are, just as the irish are proud in being irish. It is a chance for all who are alike to come together and celebrate, and their families. I go with my buddy, he is my best friend and was best man at my wedding, I am very secure with my own sexuality, married to a beautiful woman, and about to become a dad, So to answer your question how can they compare it to st. patrick s day parade, it is two types of people celebrating their proudness of who they are. I think all the homophobes are weak in their own sexuality, and it all boils down to what those do behind closed doors, and I find it very disturbing that many straights think about that, to me that is perversion, so let people live their lives the best way that is right for them, and stay out of their bedrooms. Why does it bother you so much that Tom wants to marry Henry, or Sally wants to marry Jane, who are they hurting if they get married, it doesn't really effect you or your life, has those that are already married hurting you now. All human beings have the right to be happy, and the right to chose who is best to share their lives with, just as it is a right you have. I have a hard time how others get to have a say in this matter.
