I'm the world's slowest blog reader. Sorry not to make it by sooner!<BR/><BR/>I don't know why people are so scared of gay marriage, but it's sad and rather silly. Good people are good people, and what they do in their bedrooms is none of the rest of the world's business.<BR/><BR/>I was apartment hunting at one point in my life and one place I looked at happened to be a room attached to a house where a lesbian couple was renting. They told me they were gay, I said, "Well, that makes no difference to me unless you mind that I happen to be straight." Their dog liked me... I got the place and we had a great time hanging out.<BR/><BR/>All I can say is that scared, intolerant people sure miss out.Cynthiahttp://www.garbagethatgoo.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1704170106558126102.post-30929323973882737832008-11-08T19:22:00.000-05:002008-11-08T19:22:00.000-05:00Congratulations Lobster and Crabby!!maddynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1704170106558126102.post-44213140213286173592008-11-06T17:47:00.000-05:002008-11-06T17:47:00.000-05:00Hi there, I have only popped in and out to puruse your posts a few times, but I felt the need to comment after reading this one. First of all, congratulations! Second of all, I hope it sticks (legally that is, it seems that personally it has already stuck). Thirdly, I really agree with what your saying (and now I feel relief because wondering if I should run out and get gay married to support the cause *has* been weighing on me!) ;-)<BR/>Anyway, this was just a great artuculate (and humourous) post. Thanks. :-)Sassyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01428589147687235439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1704170106558126102.post-39747276069802286722008-11-05T10:54:00.000-05:002008-11-05T10:54:00.000-05:00Crabby: The election last night- the opening part of Obama's speech- perhaps gay marriage won't be so "scary" in the USA soon!

Congratulations to the both of you and let's hope this is the last time you need to marry! <BR/><BR/>Here in New Zealand we have had the option of civil unions for a few years now (either heterosexual or same sex unions) and I've been lucky enough to see some of my friends have their many-years-old relationships formally recognised.Piphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11205242741145067573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1704170106558126102.post-82005809853445552112008-11-04T21:02:00.000-05:002008-11-04T21:02:00.000-05:00Congratulations!!

Congrats Crab!<BR/><BR/>It amazes me how a small religious faction has held such sway and influence over the rest of the nation. <BR/><BR/>Whether two people with weiners or vajayjays want to tie the knot - who in the heck cares?<BR/><BR/>I can't see how I, being hetero, am any more qualified to get married than my gay homies.<BR/>It's truly baffling.<BR/><BR/>Anyhoo - back to the happy part...

Left comment on today's election/anger post, but wanted to quickly jot a note at the end of this particular post. As a Californian, voting will be very important today - so much money for "Yes on 8" has come in from other states, which is disheartening, but I hope MOST folks will be reasonable and let people love (As Ellen said) who they... LOVE. And today, I hope that voters will respect the decision that the court has already made! Good on you two!Last Journey Downhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17645225747875358744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1704170106558126102.post-39958072586903393042008-11-04T08:07:00.000-05:002008-11-04T08:07:00.000-05:00Congratulations. I was going to try to say something funny and encouraging, but I see lots of other, more successful attempts. I'm old enough to remember the "gay agenda" bogyman, and I wasn't particularly threatened by that, either. Keep doin' what you do.

It sucks that you keep having to try so hard to be recognised under the law but good on you for keeping at it.
