Quote An openly gay man tied the knot with his co-worker, a gay woman, to protest Washington state's marriage laws. Title: Re: Gay Man Marries Gay Woman Post by: Genialus on 2004-04-15, 09:33 :thumb: thumbs up to that one

As it stands, I'm not sure it's an effective stunt. Amusing, ironic maybe, but not particularly effective. It DOES however make a point that the sanctity of marriage has been relegated to little more than a cock&balls with a place to store it.

Agreed.Title: Re: Gay Man Marries Gay Woman Post by: Phoenix on 2004-04-15, 18:08 I find this only demeans the concept of marriage even further. It's supposed to be a sacred bond between two who love each other dearly. Now it's relegated to nothing more than a political pawn chip. What a waste. Let love be love and damn formalities if this is the way the world wants to go. We animals don't need a "license" to proclaim OUR affections.
