where do you get they want something "special" , all I've ever seen is they want the same. Seems Christians are trying to corner the market on "special" by denying others of what they claim . All one has to do is read the Bible to find that women were property for reproducing heirs nothing more nothing less , now isn't that "special" ?

Spit out out ? yeah sure ok. I thought is was common internet knowledge sicne my comming out party on NAT so long ago...... So ? What of it 430 ? My coming out party!!! That right there is part of the problem. I never had a coming out party for being normal.....Kings Island doesn't have a "Normal Pride" day. My nephew stumbled on that wonder of man kind (kings Island) one day years ago.....he left said it was sick the way most were acting. I guess I missed the memo where gays were out of the closet and the smokers were in the closet!

I dont care if aj is gay or not,I dont care if aj is married or not. He sure is jumpy about it. If your a religious person,you would have to say its Gods will,everything else is.

Marcus, When a segment of population has been downtrodden, abused, neglected, bullied, sequestered, closeted, deemed a psychiatric ad norm, jailed, disinherited, discriminated, excommunicated, hung and strung on barbed wire, denied and dismissed as well as suffer a few other inconveniences; only to have their inner strength to OVERCOME that swell of major negativity to Stand up and be who they are by birth, withOUT apology then yes they tend throw a bit of party. And Marland is most correct, there is nothing SPECIAL about demanding EQUALITY. No 420, not " jumpy " but when the Supreme Court is about to make a decision directly affecting your life, liberty and bank account at any moment..it tends to be on ones mind. As far as smoking goes, the day the dems in Iowa told me I couldn't smoke inside my own BAR was the day I left that party ! Dammed them ! .

Oh no , you're black too ? ;D Seriously , I see the blacks wanting special IE: affirmative action, black history month ( where's white history month) , special incentives to be a black business owner etc, special programs to get into college . And getting them above what a white would. I see illegal aliens demanding special through wanting the same Rights as citizens . and getting more than citizens . I see women wanting special like being able to relax like a man when they should be in the kitchen making sammiches . and getting because they are mean . I don't think it's too much for another segment of the population to ask for no more or no less than the rest of us as far as being equal .

You got me , if it was up to me, the stupid assed "war on drugs" would be redefined and pot would be off the list, taxed and grown commercially once ways to determine levels of intoxication are figured out. But, none of it will probably happen until sterile hybrids are invented .

Funny you mentioned smoking in a bar AJ . I dunno about now but when the anti-smoking BS passed here in IL the fine for sitting at the bar and smoking a joint was less than the fine for smoking a cigarette .

I know of one town where the cops refuse to enforce it and several bars where their motto is screw them, it's my business . What pisses me off is if i open a brick and mortar building to use for my vac business , I can't smoke in it legally . Oh well, i've been a scofflaw most of my life .

The thing is, it doesn't matter what the court says, a lot of folks will never accept a gay couple as married.....and I'm one of those folks.
You can be a couple....they can be life partners....it can be a civil union....what ever you want to call it. They can have all the quirks (financial) of marriage.
They can own a business that I will shop at, they could be my friend that I would help out if need be.................but in my eyes, THEY WILL NEVER BE MARRIED.
I was brought up in the church (Quaker) to believe that marriage is one woman and one man........... and the government will not step in and change my religious beliefs..........................end of story.
