Good fucking riddance to that garbage nonsense. No, gay marriage is not like marrying a hamster or a bicycle. Because gay marriage is between two people, people with feelings and emotions and family and all the things that a dead grandmother, hamster, or bicycle isn't.

I really hope MIRT looks at this nastiness. We surely don't need to continue to have such blatant homophobic remarks on this board. I am reminded of when Laconicsax, who is Transgender, and ST were getting into disagreements, ST kept making disparaging comments about whether or not to call Laconicsax a he, or a she, because HE has a male name but wants us to call him HER....very off-base nastiness that most progressives don't even make an issue about. But he had a real fucking problem with a transgender atheist poster. He didn't get banned for that bit of transphobia,

Transphobia then and not using preferred gender pronouns. Gay Marriage = marrying a bike now.

walks like a duck...quacks like a duck....
