Thread Name: BS: Why you don't like gay marriage
Subject: RE: BS: Why you don't like gay marriage
Alice. Speaking of straight pedophiles, but one who managed to behave himself, apparently.

re-reading this thread for funny bits what struck me instead is how often I pop on to say something that was already said. In my own self-amused manner, of course, but still, I thought I was paying attention. Between swatting porn-pop-ups and get-rid-of-porn-pop-ups-pop-ups, I thought I read what people said, more or less.

The only thing I seemed to add was the possibility that straight people will abuse same-sex marriage for the benefits, which is quite probable. Because straights don't seem to take marriage very seriously anyway, and fewer of them care about gay-associations. Canadians might not understand the hassle here of getting health insurance, and although my sexuality doesn't feel like a choice but more like an embarrassing boner-hazard (thanks for the hug in my time of grief, lady, but back up now, please, bitch) if I had a male room-mate with a spouse plan, a rent-splitting deal, and I don't need a full-time job or the UPS union, hm, that hay or meadow starts to look tasty. I could choose it, especially since I don't have to eat it. There's no legal standard of gay, you don't have to perform acts in chambers. That's why it's important to call it same-sex marriage. Or same gender. Marriage doesn't equal sex, at least not mine, lately. I think straight sham-gay marriage would far exceed the gay sham-straight marriages.
Anyway, it sounds pretty good, maybe no marital sex, but I get to screw the health insurance industry, which is pretty sexy to me, personally. I owe them a good humping. Plus I could pretend to be gay around straight women, which is a fun kind of voyeurism, and maybe I'd get to go to some of those book clubs and locker rooms and stuff.

The problem is in the new benefits and money tied to a self-declared state, with marriage as an institution ALREADY debased, and health insurance ALREADY a fesitival of crap.
