Thar won't be any Homasexuuls Amarryin Over Yonder

Well I guess the voters of North Carolina have spoken. They just don't seem to want gay folk marrying each other. Fine I suppose. I frankly couldn't give a daisy chain if gay people can get legally married. It doesn't really hurt anyone that I can see, (better things to worry about it seems to me), but I just don't have a dog in this particular hunt and really just do not care. Do you? It wouldn't bother me if it was "legal" here in the Republic and it wouldn't bother me if it remained verboten. I would probably vote in favor of it if it came to blows but wouldn't really worry so much about the result.

I certainly won't boycott the products of the great state of North Carolina and I have no plans to visit anytime soon but don't think I would let the results of the vote deter me any. It just is not that important for most of us likely. To be frank, there will always be prejudice against gay folk and this is nothing more than human nature. Nothing really surprising there. Something that is seen as odd and distasteful to the majority has very little chance of really ever gaining acceptance and only a certain amount of that acceptance will ever gain traction. No matter what. Just the way it is.

As usual the screamers are screeching about "hate" and whatnot and are threatening to have the vote nullified by the courts (if possible) and (of course) want us all to boycott the Tar Heel State. Like that will happen. I don't like ACC "football" much but I might support one of the teams just to spite the screechers in our midst.

Now get in the tub Bruno while I find the lilac body wash.  We have a wedding to attend.

Thar's Homasexuuls Amarryin Up Thar in New York City

Well today gay folks in New York are getting married. By the droves it seems. That is fine and good far as I am concerned. It bothers me little that gay people might find someone to love enough to spend the rest of their lives together. Good for them. I think it was Kinky Friedman who said that they should "have the right to be miserable like the rest of us." Now with that being said, I must say that if some folk  make "gay marriage" jokes at the expense of gay people, well, that's showbiz. I won't get especially worked up about that either.

Gay Marriage

Apparently New York has legalized "gay marriage." Fine and good. Is it really that big of a deal that gay folk might want to get married? They, after all, should have the right to be miserable like the rest of us. I think Kinky Friedman said something like that.
