Let no guard put asunder, ‘til parole do you part.
That’s how voters like Granddad want to keep it.
Get outta my sight, I don’t want to think about it.
If you like Greek, have Greek. I prefer Italian.
The irony here is… some kid probably did this years ago to their grandmother and the question was “Do you think white people should have the right to marry black people?” and there was often a similar disgust.
Jade, that’s not irony, it’s human nature (to fear what is not familiar and understood)… the irony is that the people who cry loudest against gay rights (and equal rights on other divisions, such as gender and ethnicity; they are simply another flavor of bigot) are also the ones who want less government interference in their own lives.
It’d be a lot more comfortable if you knew the people involved. Mixing with ‘those people’ (gay, differently-colored, foreign, different-religioned, whatever) takes a lot of the fear and xenophobia out of any situation. ‘They’ aren’t all that different after all.
Taking a number out of my, um, hat - we have about ten percent of whatevers in our midst. Look around at twenty of your friends and neighbors. Chances are good a couple of them are gay, even if quietly (AKA ‘in the closet’).
Not knowing which ones, would you deny any of the twenty a chance at wedded bliss? And why?
More to my response, Robert Freeman is black and dealt with Jim Crow (mentioned in the cartoon, at least, I am not as familiar with this comic as I want to be though I have been reading it), so when I see people such as he in our politics using the SAME arguments used against them not long ago especially in the categories of marriage … it’s … well… .

^^ Human nature can’t be ironic? :)

Why not. I am all for sharing the misery. Let the gay community marry. They have just as much right to suffer as the rest of us do.
