Hey Malt, here are the people in pink against gay marriage. I feel like your statement also applies.

"I've never been quite sure what the point of a eunuch is, if truth be told. It seems to me they're only men with the useful bits cut off."

I drank because I wanted to drown my sorrows, but now the damned things have learned to swim.

See, this is why my gay-dar doesn't work in Europe. :glare:
Yesterday, upon the stair,
I met a man who wasn't there
He wasn't there again today
I wish, I wish he'd go away...

In the spirit of this thread which is to prevent mulitple Marti threads, I present to you the first openly gay NBA player.

QuoteJason Collins, a centre in the National Basketball Association, is standing up as the first openly gay man from a major American professional team.

Collins is a 12-year NBA veteran, currently a free agent who most recently played for the Washington Wizards. He has played for six pro teams and appeared in two NBA Finals. Coming out in an article he penned for a May 6 issue of Sports Illustrated, Collins writes "I'm a 34-year-old NBA center. I'm black. And I'm gay."

Surely coming out as black is a bigger deal?
Women want me. Men want to be with me.

Well that took long enough.  Damn shame it took this long.

Here's his story by the way:

Good for him.

Well that didnt take long.  Some NBA analyst apparently took offence to Collins claiming to be both gay and a christian.  Not sure what that has to do with the NBA but there you go.

:yeah:  :punk:

Quote(Reuters) - Minnesota's Senate on Monday approved a bill that would make Minnesota the 12th U.S. state to allow same-sex couples to marry and only the second in the Midwest, advancing it to the governor, who said he would sign it on Tuesday.

How many states will it take before the Feds will make it law? I mean, I assume that's kind of what they're waiting on.

It's more likely to require a solid majority in the House and 60+ votes in the senate, no matter what happens in the state houses.

However many states it takes for the Republicans to flip to being pro.  I doubt anything will happen while one of the two parties opposes.

The Democrats may not technically be in favor of it, because they are so damn wimpy about everything, but you know...

Gay marriage has no hope of success when such stalwarts of straightness as these fine fellows stand ready to oppose it.  :hmm:

They all look like James Franco, to boot. The guy on the right is kinda cute, though.
