Slightly NSFW. Would this threat convince states to legalize same-sex marriage?

Love it. Here’s the other side.

I’d marry a gay guy in a hot minute.

There was a reverse version of this going around a couple of months ago (gay men will marry your girlfriends). I haven’t watched yours, but despite all the “This is SO cute!!!!” comments that even my most liberal friends threw out there, I found it really offensive. The women in the video were depicted as mindless twits who couldn’t tell or didn’t care if their partners were even interested in them. And… let’s face it. Gay men are not going to marry anyone’s girlfriend. It kind of misses the point in a rather spectacular way.

^q.v., I presume.

It’s really pretty clever. It won’t convince legislators, and I doubt if too many straight guys will dump their straight girls just so they can take a gay female to a football game. But it is still a great piece. You always have good shit to present to the “collective”.

@glacial It’s meant to be humorous, not an actual argument for gay marriage. No use in getting offended by something so harmless.

I realize it’s comedic value, but when my ears were abused by the sarcastic “What.Ever” (seeing as how it’s hardly ever said as one word and emphasized as two in that particular way) I immediately switched off. I can’t believe grown women can still pull that level of sarcasm off so well using one word alone. That shit in itself scares me more than a woman being a lesbian is ever likely to.

OMG. Where’s that legistlation? I need to sign up for gay marriage now. I mean to pass it. I don’t want some gay guy stealing my girlfriend.

Oh please. Tell me what I have to do. I can’t stand it. The horror. The horror!

@livelaughlove21 Ha! Thanks.

@glacial It’s just humor, meant to get people thinking about same-sex marriage. I hope nobody thinks it’s meant to be a serious threat—whether it be the link I posted or the one the one @livelaughlove21 replied with.

@josie Thanks. I got a good laugh out of it.

@SamandMax A one (maybe two) word switch can control your entire response to a 3 minute video. Sounds almost Pavlovian.

@burntbonez It’s patently obvious to me the sky is falling… again. Where’s that lighter when I need it? My hair’s not on fire yet. :-)

SamandMax's avatar

No sir, it is not Pavlovian. Nor am I a dog as much as a lesbian is ever likely to ring my bell. Sir.

ETpro's avatar

@zensky I thought so too.

@SamandMax Nor did I accuse you of being a dog, Sir. I did my best to word my response to your comment to make it clear I was speaking metaphorically, and in jest at that. If I failed in my attempt to make that clear, and gave any offense, please know that such was not my intent, and accept my apology.

@ETpro Oh you are a silly billy! I knew you were joking, I just thought it would be rude not to respond!

ETpro's avatar

@SamandMax Ha! Glad to hear it.

I’d marry a gay dude. Just sayin’.

Of course, he’d have to be a nerdy gay dude. But it would totally work.

burntbonez's avatar

Oh no! It’s true! Quick! Legalize gay marriage!

Seek's avatar

Anything that accomplishes my goal. I’ll take one for the rainbow team.

@glacial Actually some churches do try to brainwash gay people in their congregation to hetero marriages, as I’ve stated in other Q’s. I was shocked and dismayed to hear a fellow Christian telling me that’s what his church does.

Churches aren’t generally welcoming and don’t disclose it, like there’s no “Gays welcome” sign out front each Sunday, so it’s kind of a crap shoot if a Christian gay person goes to any church. It’s really horrible.
