I laughed. If they want to divorce, they can go ahead and do it for whatever stupid reason they want. No effect on intelligent people at all other than a good laugh.

I've heard of a christian conservative couple divorcing because of SCOTUS doing its gay magic on the US.

I love how avioliitto -- meaning "marriage" -- contains the French word viol -- meaning "rape".

Not that I'm trying to suggest anything malicious, it's just that when I saw "viol", my immediate thought was pedophilia.... :unsure:

I love how homophobes think that we care so much about them. Basically, my general sentiment towards these people is this: "You want to get divorced as an act of protest against same-sex marriage? Go ahead. See how many fucks I give (and unless you're a supporter of extramarital sex, which I'm guessing you're not, you won't be having many yourself)."

And Jesus explicitly condemned divorced. So, I say let them get divorced if they want to. Since like gay marriage does not affect them, their divorce does not affect me. So logically, I should not give a damn.

Spoiler alert: it's a pedophilia flag with 'true marriage' reading under the man-boy couple. Just in case it wasn't clear to some people.

NBC's Thomas Roberts just came out as gay.

Good for him I say. It increases our visibility. And I don't mean to sound like a perv, he's really fucking hot. :p

It's funny in a sick sort of way cause now it seems like quite a few Conservatives were holding a gun to the head of the 'Sanctity of Marriage' this whole time saying that they would destroy it if Gay Marriage becomes legal and not the other way around. Idiots. :palm:

Good god, if someone just read this past page, they would probably think that all we do is flirt with each other, laugh at conservatives, and fawn over hot people. :V

Though, actually.... We do do other things, too, right?

Now you see it's not really a thing. It's not really there. It's a nothing, a SPOOK! Sexuality is bullshit, you're attracted who you're attracted to. Has nothing to do with genders which people conjured up too.

Meh, I'm inclined to disagree. I think curiosity piques many, even if they are attracted to women 99% of the time. The Kinsey Scale may be outdated, but I'm exhausted, and since I don't want my post to be too long, I'll just mention how the Kinsey Scale is a fairly good scale to measure human sexuality.
