Gay Marriage Funnies

[Angelfish is a lesbian who wants to get married. Andkon is a funny man who points out why it's pointless.]
Then don't read below.
The right to make a legal and social statement of long-term committment to another person isn't just a show....
It's a sacred institution of love since nothing says committment more than a binding contract, IRS tax deduction, and company healthcare and dental benefits.
it's about having your relationship honored and validated by your peers, family, friends, and government, and each-other.
What's with this need for validation? That's what trophy spouses are for.
Let's face it, an emotional committment when your finances, taxes, wills, medical issues, insurance, etc. is intertwined is a very different type of committment than an emotional committment when all those things are independent.
It's as romantic as having sex with Lakshmi Mittal while owing Mittal Steel stock. Eww, eww, eww.
Tell that to someone who says, "living together is basically the same thing." it's not.... it's a totally different relationship when it has legal ramifications.
Like giving up half your possessions with a pen stroke.
It's also about standing up, making a choice, showing the maturity to do so.
Since maturity is about doing what everyone else is doing.
It's about accountability. There's nothing I wouldn't do for that right, and your daughter and everyone else like her had better make damned sure to understand how priviledged they are to be able to enter into a marital relationship, and take it for what it is.
Ooohh, two names on a check! My G-spot is going wild!
Some people get married for the tax benefits. Fine for them. but if you don't mean "till death do us part" then don't put it in the damn ceremony.
And mean "through infidelity," which happens in 90% of all marriages of the stats are accurate.
It appears all my brilliance is leaking to a place called Debate Unlimited which has been home to more of Andkon's hourly rightings than Andkon's Daily Rightings. Fret not because from now on, I will try to repackage my better posts (like children, it's so hard to choose favorites) to here. See the DU post on this matter.

That's actually rather amusing, although I support Angelfish.
