Where's the dinner? Where's the food?


They'd already had it, they showed a bit of it at the start. The debate happened afterwards

>> ^Solid_Muldoon:

All three of these guys are really missing the point. Under the law, marriage is a legal contract between two competent, consenting adults. It is a legal partnership. Period. The law has nothing to do with religion.
The 14th amendment demands equal protection of the law to all citizens. The Supreme Court ruled in Loving v Virginia that marriage is a "basic civil right."
Case closed.


Except you can't just do that. Well, you can, but you haven't won the war by that argument.

You can make it law, you can enforce that it is law, but the underlying problem is that there are people who think it's wrong, and that's what you need to change. Make them see that the only thing they're clinging onto to justify their dislike of gay people (passages in the bible), are on the same level as passages that allow slavery and persecution and execution.

NY Times link.

"As for Mr. Savage, he felt that being on his home turf had actually worked against him. “Playing host put me in this position of treating Brian Brown like a guest,” he said. “It was better in theory than in practice — it put me at a disadvantage during the debate, as the undertow of playing host resulted in my being more solicitous and considerate than I should’ve been. If I had it to do over again, I think I’d go with a hall.”

Apparently his sermons and writings are highly sexualized.

And his was a fast growing church?

Can anyone spell... hypocrisy?

Christians have got to get a handle -- ha! -- on their sexuality. Read more Dan Savage!

Of course, Dan Savage has some words of wisdom about this:

Excerpt:
I would like to take this opportunity to point out that LGBT people aren't asking conservative Christians to do anything they aren't already doing. We're asking conservative Christians to ignore what the bible says about homosexuality just as they ignore what the bible says about slavery. (They ignore what the bible says about slavery so thoroughly that many don't know that the bible says anything about slavery at all!)

Christians moved in their "conception of the value of human beings" before and they can do it again.

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)

No. It makes you fabulous.>> ^AeroMechanical:

I like musicals. Does that make me gay?

Seems like "gay" is more about self-identification than that. Like calling yourself "Republican". We all fall somewhere on the Kinsey scale.>> ^gwiz665:

Do you like people of your own sex?.. then you're gay, otherwise, you're not gay.

Well duhhh, obviously.

I never understood why a man would want to have anal sex with a woman. We (men) sometimes use the phrase "tap that ass" or "get a piece of that ass" when we're with other guys and see a hot chick, but (at least I don't) don't mean it literally.


Well, that's good for you I guess, but for a lot of us it's got a certain taboo quality to it which makes it very hot. For me it's about the woman being so turned on she wants to do it, to totally give in to something like that. That's what's hot about it to me.

As for the actual feeling of it. For me, not really a great deal different to vaginal sex, so that's not the attraction. There are guys who say that it's awesome because of how tight it is in comparison, but eh, no big difference in that regards to me.

I'd never want to force a woman into it at all, because that would entirely remove the turn on. The turn on is that they are so aroused, they want to do something 'dirty', that it's a different feeling. So if they're only doing it because you are badgering them into it, the enjoyment is gone.

also, in my experience there isn't anything you can tell somebody to fix their trust/jealousy issues.

If there is, it hasn't gone public yet.


It did go public and nobody is buying it's stock... wait, no that's FaceBook. Nevermind.
