Until today, I always said I had never seen an ugly bride.

Are you a poofter? How wonderful, so am I!

The flowers and garlic we wear still doesn’t cover up the smell of the things we do behind closed doors.

I would say, “Bishop jumps queen,” but I think I might have stolen that from Mark Shea, and it looks like another person had the chess theme in mind; “Bishop, boyfriend get lei’d,” is probably too risque and trite at the same time; “Are you trying to seduce me, Bishop Robinson?” might work; but I think I’m going to have to go with: “Tragic neglect of divine revelation has hilarious side effects.”

You know what, I really don’t understand the need to be so cruel and unfeeling as this. To harbor your own feelings against these men is one thing. To speak against what they believe and the life that they are choosing, and to do it in a civil manner is fine. But to mock them is just truly cruel.

Is mockery some big new Christian movement that I somehow missed in the bible?

Zombyboy,

These two old geezers presented themselves in public!, dressed as characatures of 1960’s hippies, one of whom was dressed in Episcopal vestments, to get married (?) by a member of the CLERGY and you can’t see the incredible humor and irony?

The look on the bride’s face (or, the groom’s…the one on the right) is too incredibly funny for words.

Others have covered the more germane serious points, so I feel that has been adressed.

“If it walks like a duck, looks like a duck and quacks like a duck, then you got yourself a duck.”

Can you imagine the wedding night: a.) who carried whom across the threshold, b.) was the marriage con……. Oh forget it, the comedy material is endless.

“But then I read these personal attacks and see this base behavior, and I know for a fact which side of this argument I would rather be on.”

Dear me, what terribly tender people you must know. You’re confusing dancing-school manners – “If you haven’t anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all” – with Holy Writ. Grim solemnity has far too strong a hold on public discourse as it is: there’s nothing wrong with making jokes as well as arguments. You don’t like it, but then, you don’t have to. You don’t have to like us, either. But you can’t expect us to get all tense and unhappy because you don’t, you know.

Elinor, I simply expect you to act like Christians–you know, with understanding, caring, tenderness, charity, and love.

I don’t treat everything with “grim solemnity”, but I do take cruelly seriously.

The flowers and garlic we wear still doesn’t cover up the smell of the things we do behind closed doors.

Not only tasteless, but not funny.

“Two of the ugliest lezzies you’ve ever seen getting “hitched” in San Francisco.”

Oh, yes, that’s intelligent commentary.

MPs compelled the prisoners into humiliating and degrading poses, and saved photos of the scenes.

Even if I agree that the two gentlemen would have a sense of humor on this subject, I have a hard time imagining that they would consider their wedding pictures to be humiliating and degrading.

All I’ve seen in response to my remarks is to brush them off or to indulge in self-justification for relentlessly callous behavior.

From here it just sounds bigoted and hateful.

I’m sure I’ve overstayed my welcome, so I’ll back off now. But I would urge you to look at those comments again and consider what you would think if they had been made about your best friend’s wedding. Or, heaven forbid, your own wedding.

To be fair, Zom (that was me above on the unsigned comment: my mistake):

A few of the wisecracks people have offered here have been harsh (which is regrettable), and some of them are lame and unfunny (which is inevitable). But do let the commenters make momentary mistakes in judgment without calling them “cruel”, “bigoted”, and “hateful”.

If you’ll read through the wisecracks above, you’ll notice that unlike yourself, most of them didn’t actually accuse other people of malice. That makes your comments seem harsher and angrier than the rest.

Perspective, kid.

Grandpa?!

Attaboy, Victor!

“That was sooooo nice this morning. Thank you.”

Dear Zombyboy
Just wondering are you gay?

Okay you get the orange tree but I get the monkey

Rice throwing unnecessary.

‘you may now give the groom a laurel, and hearty handshake.’

“At the heart of liberty is the right to define one’s own sense of reality.” Scotty, beam me out of here.

Hell personified.

unfortunately neck, you should be asking who the hell are they to think that they are both superior to natural law. Moreover, what sets them apart from others that gives them a right to be superior and marry someone from the same sex?

Mike, them funny hats?

Have the “Queer Eye” guys seen this picture? Surely they can’t approve? It is something of a breach in their main selling point – that gays have more taste than the rest of us. Don’t ya think?!
