a question for the DU GLBTQ community
i am fully behind your quest for marriage equality
will you be behind mine?
i have been married for over 30 years and not once have i ever been equal!
in fact not once have i been correct!
when we get your equality all worked out can we do mine next?

1. I'm not GLTBQ, BUT everybody on earth knows that the wife is always right.
That's why you can't have the remote anymore. We have taken it over.

29. The remote? Excalibur? EXCALIBUR? That's heresy!
Women aren't qualified to handle Excalibur!



:hide:

Strange women lying in ponds, distributing swords, is no basis for a system of government.

37. Excalibur has come over to our side. It no longer takes your commands.
At first, all you'll notice is that you have to point it VERY directly in order for it to work. As time goes by you'll have to move closer and closer to your teevee for the channels to flip. Eventually you'll realize you might as well just get up and punch the buttons on your cable box.

All the while, your wife will be enjoying your confusion and consternation. She'll begin laughing at you when you start getting up. :evilgrin:

7. I know you are just trying to inject some humor, but
It is a bit belittling to compare our desire for full legal rights under the law with old jokes about spousal power plays.

9. I guess I didn't see it as a comparison so much as a desire to tell really old jokes.
'Course, a lot of those are sexist, so I guess I should have resisted the urge to reply....! :hi:

14. Well you knew it had to happen, right?
You try to lighten things up just a bit, and inevitably somebody has to go and get all political about it. It never fails. That's the trouble with DU. It's always so damned political. It drives me nuts sometimes! :7

27. You have the laws supporting your marriage
either a marriage counselor or a better joke writer should take care of the rest.

33. I believe that gays have the right...
to be as miserable as straights when it comes to marriage. There is that few months where a married couple is ecstatic, then it goes downhill from there. Then again, maybe gays will raise marriage up a few notches. God knows hetero's have totally fucked it up.

38. your problem is that you still have hope to be equal - abandon all hope

now for the problem of 'same sex' marriage.

Everyone knows that its always the same, isn't there anyway to get your spouse to change positions or try some funky stuff?
