Gay Marriage

This was going to be (yet another) rant on my blog. I deleted the rant part.

Here’s all I have to say about same-sex marriage:

Anyone out there who is gay who needs an officiant let me know. I’ll get myself ordained (Universal Life Church) and marry you. If you want a domestic partnership, I’ll go become a notary and grant your wish. For free.

I’m not going to fly my ass all over the globe, but if you come to me, I’ll marry you.

Why? I just had another friend tell me they were getting divorced for no particular reason. Perhaps if we allow same-sex marriages, we might actually start lowering the divorce rate.

    Rob, if you do that, we can produce our own, reality version of Keeping the Faith.

    Dude, I just realized I didn’t call you this weekend. Bad me. I’ll give you a ring. (in 5..4…3…2…1…)

    dude, that article was dated 08-May-1987! you gotta love all the old stuff that is appearing online. i recently googled something and stumbled on a newspaper article from the late 1800’s, no joke! (must be nice to sell ad space on 100+ year old news articles)

    1800s nostalgia = a bottle of Madeira before phylloxera, the only fascination I have from the 1800s.

    By the way, how’s that secret… ummm… wrestler site coming along?

    Classic Jeremy! You make me laugh but I also agree with your comments. And you know, there might be some strong evidence supporting your claim of the percentages lowering the divorce rate.
    Cheers Bro!
