Let's make sure we understand this.

I don't know. You would have to describe it for me.

What absolute horsesh*t your poll is.

I have no problem with gay unions.

I also have no problem with such pitiful labor unions as still exist in the USA.

F**k you!.

When the union's inspiration through the worker's blood shall run!

Britney Spears got married for 55 hours. That's "sacred" and "legal." Gays cannot marry at all in most of the US. That's "bullsh*t." The Idea just potentially called millions of blue-collar workers 'gay'. If any of them saw this and found him, he would be "hospitalized."

The Idea and his agenda are a pretty gay union.

I mean, they must be really happy together.

Now, now. Just because he said something silly doesn't mean that you have to. I doubt that any human being without a diagnosis has ever or will ever seriously use the word "sacred" to describe anything that goes on in a Las Vegas wedding chapel. Nor to anything Britney Spears ever does, even if she becomes a nun.

OK, so marriage a la Britney is crapola.

I don't take the position that gay marriage hurts the institution of marriage, as some do.

I do take the position that the institution of marriage has been destroyed, and that gay marriage is a side effect of this.

Whether or not this is a good thing remains to be seen.

As a non-married individual, I'm waiting to see.

Here's my gay union*.








*of musicians who are open minded enough not to exclude people from participating based on their sexual orientation, which is how I got in.
