I think that you are trying to reach some sort of compromise or middle ground. Whether the state should be in the "marriage business" has nothing to do with gay marriage and the fact that gays may get the right to marry is not reason to suddenly discover that you're really in favor of civil unions. It's such a cop out. If gay marriage weren't on the horizon no one would be mentioning civil unions.

Unlike gay marriage, abortion is not a sideshow for someone who truly believes that a pre-viability fetus is a person.

The protection of innocents for harm and death is the core element of all civilized societies and the dignity and self-determination of the individual would become impossible if not premised upon that very collective moral foundation.

The sideshow comes from the phony and disgusting Republican politicians who could care less about the feti and the sanctity of human life but take advantage of well-meaning but gullible individuals in return for votes.

Neil Patrick Harris, David Burtka To Marry: Gay Marriage Passage Enables Stars To Wed

Posted by streetcarman1 on Sun Jun 26 02:22:10 2011, in response to Same Sex Mariage Bill Passesd IN YYS, posted by SUBWAYSURF on Fri Jun 24 22:31:18 2011.

edf40wrjww2msgDetailOT:detailStr

From the Huffingtonpost.com:

UPDATE: Neil Patrick Harris clarified his engagement status with Burtka -- they've been engaged for a long time now!

"David and I did propose to each other, but over five years ago! We've been wearing engagement rings for ages, waiting for an available date," the star tweeted Saturday morning.

_____

PREVIOUSLY:

As Americans of all stripes celebrated the passage of marriage equality in the New York State Senate, gay New Yorker couples affirmed their commitments to one another and began the 30-day countdown until they could finally say "I Do." Amongst them, one of New York's most famous gay couples jubilantly announced that they were getting married.

Neil Patrick Harris, the "How I Met Your Mother" star and Tonys host, became engaged late Friday night to his longtime partner, actor/chef David Burtka. Earlier in the night, Harris tweeted words of encouragement to the State Senate and said he'd "sure love to get married," and following the law's passage, Burtka took to Twitter and announced that the two were getting hitched.

"I'd sure love to get married. Please, NY Senate, vote in favor of marriage equality today. My family would really appreciate it," Harris wrote before the vote; once it was passed, he tweeted his excitement, saying, "It PASSED! Marriage equality in NY!! Yes!! Progress!! Thank you everyone who worked so hard on this!! A historic night!"

Burtka then gave the big news in a tweet to a fan. "I've already purposed, he said yes! Thank god!" he wrote, before adding, "he proposed to me as well. I said yes! Thank god!"

Story continues below
Of course, it only makes sense that the pair should be allowed to marry; together for at least five years, the pair are fathers to fraternal twins, Gideon Scott and Harper Grace, born via surrogate in October 2010.

Congratulations to the happy couple, and all the other loving pairs finally granted equal rights in New York State.

ntrainride, I've managed to hold my tongue throughout all the reaction posts to the passage of same-sex marriage in New York State -- at least until now.

I found your post to be very disturbing. You wrote four paragraphs, and yet not once did you use the [shift] key. Having a bit of trouble getting it up, are we?

Your rant focuses on the sexual aspect of homosexuality, but what about the human aspect?

Consider for a moment what our world today would be like if you stripped away every single contribution that has been made to global history and culture that has been made by non-heterosexuals. Rulers, philosopher, painters, sculptors, authors, playwrights, statesmen, and countless others whose positive contribution to the world as we know it never rose to historical levels, but who nonetheless managed to change the world they lived in for the better.

Homosexuality is about a lot more than just dreaming up new and exciting ways to use hamsters and duct tape.

A person is about a lot more than just what they stick into where.

Even you are about a lot more than just what you write on this website's message boards. But if your only argument against same-sex marriage -- or homosexuality in general -- is your explosion of verbal diarrhea to which I am responding, then all anyone is going to do is treat you as such and just wipe and flush you away.

If you have a more scholarly argument for why same-sex couples shouldn't be granted civil marriages, I would definitely like to hear it -- please note, there is no sarcasm in that request. My desire to hear it is genuine. While I can understand the religious objections to same-sex marriage, I am at a loss to understand why civil marriage is a problem, especially in a nation founded on a separation of Church and State.

Respectfully,
~Alan

nope, i just don't like homosexual males. something went wrong with them, sometime in their life. they want to do the dirty perveted acts, fuck 'em, whatever. but STOP trying to make people think a male and a male seeking sexual release is equivalent to a female and a male seeking to share their lives together. it's not, no matter how much they may think it is. it will NEVER be equivalent. it's simply mutual jerking off. humans, and all other living things are designed to mate with the opposite sex.

but STOP trying to make people think a male and a male seeking sexual release is equivalent to a female and a male seeking to share their lives together.

If these people were just seeking sexual release, they WOULDN'T BE FIGHTING FOR MARRIAGE! OBVIOUSLY gay people taking advantage of marriage would be seeking a life of commitment to each other, to "share their lives together". Otherwise, they'd have their sexual rendezvous as single men, dating here or there and such, JUST LIKE A NUMBER OF STRAIGHT MEN DO.

You keep focusing on sex acts (there are celibate gay people out there) yet the people are fighting for the ability to fully love and share their lives with each other.

No, a man marrying a man is not the same as a man marrying a woman, but that doesn't mean the love and will to commit and share a life with each other doesn't exist. YEESH

Nobody thinks that a male and a male seeking sexual release is equivalent to a female and male seeking to share their lives together. However, outside of the potential of biological child rearing, a male and a male seeking sexual release is equivalent to a female and male seeking sexual release, and a male and a male seeking to share their lives together is equivalent to a female and male seeking to share their lives together

Here are a few advantages of gay marriage:

1.) Potential increase in the catering / banquet hall / tuxedo / and related industries due to an increase in the % of population that is able to marry. This is partially offset by the increasing number of heterosexual couples that are now choosing NOT to get married.

2.) Potential increase in the earnings of divorce attorneys, family court employees, and others from an increase in the % of the population that is able to marry, and thus an increase in the % of population potentially seeking divorces. Again, this number might be offset by the increasing number of heterosexual couples that are now choosing NOT to get married.

3.) Allowing gay couples to receive the same benefits of straight couples, therefore making them more integrated into regular society.

Justifying gay marriage on civil rights and inheritance/benefit rights is fine and the reason I am accepting it as well.

But the economic benefits you cite are not as simple. True caterers may have more business. OTOH the overall health benefit expense for many companies will go up as they have to offer family coverage or individual + 1 coverage to more employees. Increased prices to cover the increased benefit cost may follow.

Tax benefits are not as clear either. If a company provides benefits for domestic partners it is now taxable income to the employee. If they marry then what used to be taxable income is now a pre-tax benefit to the employee and a tax deduction to the employer.

Overall I think the positive and negative economic impacts will end up negating each other.

1 and 2 must be a joke. Number 3 would apply were we to promote any abnormal behaviors.

You are a true asshole.

Beside the hate you have against homosexuals, you treat women as they can only fuck and suck. You degrade women.

Did the dysfunctional NY State government pass bills and budgets that lower taxes, reducing utility bills, create jobs, cut off welfare benefits for drug addicts, and toughen penalties for reckless drivers?



Just a question everyone should be wondering.

You sound like a nasty little cunt who needs to get his ass beaten up so that you have an idea of what it's like to have that shit happen to you for being who you are. If this isn't the type of thing a dude on the DL does, then I don't know what it is. Fucking rat.

They did a better job at those than in a typical year.

Look up "big ugly" "New York" in Google News.

you're the one who is electing to engage in questionable behavior...and then you expect me to pat you on the back and say, oh, ok, forget that i find it reprehensible, i,ll totally change my pov in order for you to not feel like a social outcast.

why? who the hell are you to demand such a thing? i,m not demanding that non-train and transit loving folk become interested in the subject. and who you desire to be with has about the same level of importance in the grand scheme of things. it is NOT socially significant, it is NOT politically relevent, it is NOT important enough to waste scarce capital and resources on. no doubt most gays have enough to eat and comfortable placees to live. no children are going to be fed properly because two males bang each other. no elderly are going to be taken care of because two males bang each other. no native poor folks or immigrants are going to receive medical and economic assistance if two males bang each other. in effect, it's a chosen hobby, and to demand that the greater society turn away from those pressing concerns and waste time, money and energy to enable said hobby is damnned reprehensible and foolish. and madd selfish. you guys aught to be ashamed.

As for 1 and 2, sounds like an application of the broken windows fallacy. Spending money on things that don't inherently increase economic productivity is NOT good for the economy.

"i,m not demanding that non-train and transit loving folk become interested in the subject."

I don't see anyone here 'demanding' that you become INTERESTED in the subject of homosexuality either. Though, going by your vile attacks, your wishes for awful things to be done to gays and the very vivid way in which you describe them, it appears you yourself have CHOSEN to become VERY intereted in the subject...

"and who you desire to be with has about the same level of importance in the grand scheme of things"

...then why are you spending so much time and vitriol attacking and condemning him?

"it is NOT socially significant, it is NOT politically relevent, it is NOT important enough to waste scarce capital and resources on"

Looking at how much money has already been spent trying to STOP gays from getting married, it appears that it IS. But for some reason, I think you won't have too much of a problem with that.

"no children are going to be fed properly because two males bang each other. no elderly are going to be taken care of because two males bang each other. no native poor folks or immigrants are going to receive medical and economic assistance if two males bang each other."

And none of that is going to change for the worse either. So what exactly is your point?

"in effect, it's a chosen hobby"

Science appears to disagree with that.

"to demand that the greater society turn away from those pressing concerns and waste time, money and energy to enable said hobby"

...but once again, you don't appear to have any problem at all when members of the 'greater society' turn away from 'those pressing concerns' wasting money, time and energy FIGHTING gay mariage. Hypocrite much?

"you guys aught to be ashamed."

You're one sick puppy. Or, as I've said before, in denial.

Not to him it isn't. See, he needs to make sure everyone knows just how much of a HETERO he is, so he needs to try and reaffirm that in every post.

Not the actions of a man comfortable with his own sexuality...
