I’m As Good As You - And I Can’t Marry?

[bluedawg12]

Those clever, crafty, heterosexuals snub nose at one woman and one man concept, in serial fashion.
Nothing say’s sanctity of marriage like 23 whacks at the old pinyata. :evilgrin:

Ms. Anderson

Heterosexual Menace: Stop Her Before She Marries Again
Jim Burroway
February 21st, 2009
Apparently for one Anderson, Indiana woman, protecting the sanctity of marriage involves getting married as often as possible:

She has been Mrs. Scott, Mrs. Street and Mrs. Smith. She was also Mrs. Moyer, Mrs. Massie and Mrs. McMillan. But the former Mrs. Berisford, Mrs. Chandler and Mrs. Essex was born Linda Lou Taylor. … More than a decade ago, the 68-year-old found her own way to bring Indiana a Guinness world record: She got hitched for the 23rd time.

She’s single again, and she’d would like to find someone to settle down with. Again. She means it this time. She also says that her first marriage was for love, but her last one in 1996 was for publicity.

Publicity!

And to think that we can’t get married for love or money.

You can read more about what those heterosexuals are up to here and in our report, “The Heterosexual Agenda: Exposing the Myths.”

2. Kick and recommend

Damn hets, screwing thing up -- AGAIN! -- for the rest of us.

[Skittles]

3. true equality will be when a gay person gets married 23 times

yes INDEED! :7

[eilen]

4. I guess she like "getting" married, not "being" married.

and as for your point-- I think gays should be able to marry-- why not? That is what is fair. But I wouldn't sink to the above-referenced perpetual bride's level. You are better.

5. I'd love to know if she got married

in any kind of house of worship, or were they all civil ceremonies?

If there was religion involved, what kind, I wonder?

And that - right there - is the prime argument in favor of letting everyone marry whomever they choose - the civil ceremony is all that matters. Black was right in his acceptance speech last night - the law must be Federal, just like we women got Roe v. Wade after the state-by-state abortion laws varied and had conflicts (not to mention the states that simply criminalized abortion).

The religious crap ain't marriage - not in the eyes of the law.

But, if she's a good Christian, and something tells me that's where she came from, well, I wonder what her "church" has to say about her marital escapades.

The fucking hypocrisy is just getting unbearable, regardless of my sexual orientation. Intellectually and morally, it's just fucking offensive.

7. If these were religious weddings, too

she must have paid the minister's kids college tuition by now and maybe a butt tuck + some Botox for the mrs?

Yeah, marriage is civil, let weddings be religious.

After all, it wasn't the civil cermenony, conferring full legal rights, benefits and duties at Cana, it was the wedding feast!

[bluedawg12]

6. And my stable, monogamous, loving relationship of 23 years is a threat to what?

Good grief, I feel sullied just reading this story. :P

I can't let the cats see this. It's shocking. :evilgrin:

[The Doctor.]

12. OMG! TIHNK OF TEH CHILDREN!!!

Wow... congrats to you... and the cats.

[bluedawg12]

13. There are good marriages and bad marriages, I guess.

it just goes to show ya' that the legal institution is whatever people make of it, now it's hard for me to believe that people who fight so hard to get married have anything less in mind than anyone else, in terms of honoring their commitment and insuring for safe guards and protections in life for themselves and family.

The point of this was not to diss marriage, but to show the irony and hypocrisy surrounding the claim that it's same sex marriage that will devalue marriage.

Oh really?

People can do that now and they're not even Teh Gay!

[The Doctor.]

21. Yep.

I have a hard time believing that acknowledging the right of all adults to marry those they love would do anything but improve the institution.

[chill_wind]

27. Wonderfully stated.

K & R.

[chollybocker]

8. Might as well face it...

She's addicted to love.

[dickthegrouch]

9. This makes me so angry, I can't see straight

BUT, I have an inroad to the arguments to be made to the California Supreme Court next week, so I'm passing this along. Thanks for the ideas and the comments.

[The Doctor.]

11. That's great if you can do that. This needs to become an exhibit.

Too many straight people are spitting on a right that so many are desperate to have and cherish but are denied. How can marriage ever be cheapened any more than so many heterosexuals have already cheapened it?

[bluedawg12]

14. It seems to me that marriage is what folks make of it.

There is the ideal and there is the reality of it.

Same sex marriage won't cheapen marriage, while at the same time, not every current str8 marriage is based on the highest of reasons despite rw sloganeering and propaganda.

If the goal is to strengthen relationships, reinforce couple bonds and provide safeguards for families, those rights should apply to all.

[The Doctor.]

10. I'm not sure whether to be amused or disgusted....

Definitely more disgusted than amused.

It's really sick to watch someone flaunt and cheapen a sacred privilege so many are denied.

[SacredCow]

15. I think it's pretty safe to say that she is changing the definition of marriage...

all on her own: "marriage is between 23 (and hunting for the 24th) men, 1 woman."

[bluedawg12]

16. Lucky 24!

Zowie. :scared:

[xchrom]

17. i'd have a nervous breakdown trying to figure out the center pieces 23 times. nt

[racaulk]

18. She's had 23 husbands? I just want one!

Gah! :eyes:

K&R

[SacredCow]

19. Stop trying to make a mockery of marriage!!!!!

:spank:

[SacredCow]

20. Seriously, though-

Where is the fundie outrage over this? I lurked on over to Free Republic and there isn't a mention. I'm tempted to use my troll account over there to do some shit-stirring....

[bluedawg12]

28. The out rage is missing because it's not really about marriage at all

it's about bigotry and prejudice, which is why they also freak over CU's.

[nichomachus]

22. Will you homos stop attacking the sanctity of marriage?

I just want to be sure that no gays are allowed to drive up to the window of the all-night drive-in marriage chapel in Vegas to be married in a sacred ceremony by a slightly inebriated Elvis impersonator -- just as God commanded in the bible.

[bluedawg12]

23. *Ahem* That's "commie homo-lovers", please.

:rofl:

Nothing says marriage is defined as one man and woman, than doing it serially. :evilgrin:

[Mike 03]

24. I'm heterosexual, and I know you are not just "as good as" but most likely

way better than I am or ever will be.

[Mike 03]

25. Plus, kick and rec, from the bottom of my heart. NT

[bluedawg12]

26. Thanks Mike 03, you are always a good ally.
