I don't support gay marriage...

I don't support traditional marriage. I support marriage. Inclusive, loving and available to all Americans - whether gay, straight or bisexual.

That's the way it should have been, the way it should be and I hope, one day, the way it will be.

I don't think you were drunk when you said this.

When I get home from work tonight, I'll drink to your sentiment:

but I support gay marriage. Marriage between a man and a woman started off as a property exchange - nothing sacred about trading off a human being and using her as a bargaining chip. Gay marriage is starting off fresh, with two people who love each other, wanting to be together, and commit to each other, against all odds. I think that's beautiful, and I damn well support it!

... we had neither the proverbial pot to piss in nor the proverbial window to throw it out of.


When the judge got to the "richer or poorer" part, my soon-to-be father-in-law chimed in. "They can't get any poorer, Your Honor."

Since that made me far happier than being married ever did, and 17 years after it still makes me happy.

To each their own pursuit of happiness.

Well, according to Mr. Frothy it will, but he's not exactly a reliable source - for anything.
