Folks,this isn't the year 2005 but we're back in 1305!
I just CAN'T believe there are still people who are so narrow-minded!
O-MY-GOD!!!

Lord knows George has got many many problems but his being gay and wanting to marry his boyfriend is not one of them. I would like to see Georgie tarred and feathered and run over by a bus but if a bloke wants to marry another bloke,who the hell cares? I'm just worried for that poor Texas chap who is about to wed the most boring man in the history of the civilized world.

Live and let live, mate.

'the hell happened to this thread!!!!!?????

CHIC0 said:

beats the hell outta me. all i remember is clicking on this thread to say "yay!", then i noticed that gold319 opened her mouth and said something bad enough to get snipped...and all hell had broken loose.

Handclapsfingasnapz said:

after the third or fourth post i thought i had clicked on the P&R forum.

CHIC0 said:

i should have known that this wasn't in the "most active" thread list because there were a bunch of people upset that george was off the market
congratulations to them, and to elton...
i just wish elton and david would have taken their vowes in canada since it's been legal here for quite a while already!
that would have been cool for mr. tantrum to wear his tiara here

The sad thing is that the reactions she got here won't do anything but strengthen her resolve.

I must admit, that when I clicked on this I didn't know about the new laws in GB and I thought George had yet again switched teams.

And the other sad thing is she enjoys the attention, negative or positive (doubt we will ever see the latter)..obviously it is some kind of disorder which I doubt she will ever realise and get something done about it..a complete waste of life if you ask me.

Nice to see George happy again

Heiress said:

Good for him. I hope they´ll be happy.

yay!!! go GM and Kenny!!

Isel said:

what's funny is there is no seperation of Church and State in the UK the Chruch of England is the offical State Church and the ruling Monarch is the head of the country and the Church.

The States has much to learn.

whodknee said:

That's what I was thinking.

Heiress said:

Me too!


But whatevs. Be it with a man or a woman, I hope the big day's fantastic.

Using the Bible to support your homophobia is weak because, frankly, the Bible is full of a lot of crap. For example, according to the Bible, "back in the beginning" people in the Bible married their sisters. Do you consider that natural?
a) Genesis 4 (New Int'l Version): If Cain and Abel were the only sons of Adam & Eve where did Cain find a wife? Was it his mother (Eve) or an unnamed sister?
b)Genesis 20:11-12 (New Int'l Version): Abraham replied, "I said to myself, 'There is surely no fear of God in this place, and they will kill me because of my wife.' Besides, she really is my sister, the daughter of my father though not of my mother; and she became my wife.

The bolded statement is also incorrect. Angels (if they exist) are sexless--without gender. According to the Bible "stories", angels do not procreate, thus they don't need a gender. If they don't have a gender they can't be straight or gay. Following your (il)logic, one could even argue that angels probably ARE gay because they can't procreate...just like gays technically can't procreate with each other.

The bottom line is that the Bible (like religion) is full of hypocrisy and you can probably find verses that support both sides of any arguement.

Also, didn't your buddy JC talk about loving your neighbor as yourself...imo, your behavior is not very "neighborly."

for George and Kenny--although it pretty much crushes the life long dream I've had of becoming Mrs. George Michael.

I trip out how a "Prince music" message board can be so conservative, the peeps on Amy Grants board i'm sure are a little more chilled.

There's really only one nutjob on this thread doing all the yelling.

Must also say that what shocked me here is that George's partner looks EXACTLY but EXACTLY like a good friend of mine. I must see other pictures to know if it's true or just a coincidence or what...

...

Heiress said:

Maybe your friend has been holding out on you! You'll have to ask him why you haven't received an invitation to his wedding!

JediMaster said:

Well, he did say he'd found someone special recently...

Yeah where is my invitation?

I'll bet they play good music at the reception, at least!

Ah yes, the British are SOOOOO evolved. Concerning the "monarchy," I understand about tradition, but couldn’t public monies allocated to support Prince Charles and Co. be spent elsewhere to address some other “issues”??? Hasn't that debate also been circulating in G.B. for a while? And true, G.B. has “legalized” gay marriage, but that law was just recently passed, correct? So since Great Britain is certainly more “evolved” than the U.S., one would have gay marriage would have been legalized for a while. With all due respect, I don’t believe that G.B. is any more “enlightened” or “evolved” than the U.S. on ALL MATTERS necessarily. I’m sure that G.B. has its share of problems, too. I’m not usually so disrespectful because, having lived in France, I certainly admire other cultures. I always have. But frankly, I’m a little tired of people taking shots at the U.S. while ignoring the fact that other countries has their share of problems as well.

Granted, as a Democrat, I’m not happy with the Bush administration in general and obviously this gay marriage issue is just the tip of the iceberg for me. I’m also extremely concerned about the “health care” crisis, the plight of the working poor and unacceptable poverty in this country as well as the war in Iraq in addition to many, many other issues concerning national security, education, environment, international relations, finance, etc. But at least here in the U.S. we have the opportunity to take control of the situation through becoming more politically active: we MUST exercise our right to vote in local, state AS WELL AS national elections. That’s what the “evangelical” churches have done. They have hijacked the voting process because the rest of us have become complacent. Those of us who DON’T confuse social policy with legislation of morality—and there are many Christians who can make the distinction—have GOT to make their voices heard. It’s not ignorance: it’s apathy or maybe an acceptance of the status quo that is hurting this country. It’s being so caught-up in our own lives that we don’t make an effort to make changes in our government because some of those changes might not APPEAR to impact us on a daily basis but philosophically-speaking some legislation whether AGAINST CERTAIN GROUPS or lack of support for others contradicts the principles on which the United States was founded--liberty and justice for ALL. Consequently, the United States as we BELIEVED it to be, does NOT exist for ANYONE.

Anyway, I apologize for my disrespect earlier, but in spite of all of its flaws, the United States is a great country. I’ve traveled around a bit, and as much as I appreciate other cultures, I would never leave the U.S. by choice. In fact, if circumstances forced me to leave, I would still love my country while at the same time being quite aware of its flaws. The truth is that NO SOCIETY is perfect: utopias do NOT exist. At least here in the U.S. we have the freedom to express our views and the power to make changes. But that power can only come from us, and right now as much as people gripe, SOME OF THOSE very same people don’t take any action to make changes. Maybe by the next election, voters will be so disgusted with this conservative agenda that they will make their voices heard.
