PHOTOS of the repercussions: Massachusetts after five years of same-gender marriage

[Bluebear]

Massachusetts celebrates five years of putting opposite marriage in jeopardy and destroying our social fabric. My god, the carnage....

[redwitch]

1. They're all in denial.

Trying to put on a happy face in the midst of all teh gay.

[Tangerine LaBamba]

2. Why?? WHY?????

What purpose is served by showing scenes like those above? I mean, do you have a point to make? Must you rub our noses in all of it?

My god. Make sure children don't see any of it.

The horror, the horror. It's so much worse than I thought it might be.

All is lost ............................

[armyowalgreens]

3. My...God...Cabana boys are pillaging the streets.

May god have mercy on all of us. The end is nigh.

[Ohio Joe]

44. bwahahahahahahahahaha, you suck

You made me spit soda out of my nose :rofl:

[Solly Mack]

4. How awful! How do they survive? How do they endure the ...the...

blue skies? water-front dining? happy smiles? fresh pastries?

Please...no more! I can't take it.

Those poor people!

[NanceGreggs]

5. OMG!!!

The entire state has been turned into a vast desert wasteland, almost devoid of any signs of human life!

[EFerrari]

6. LOL

:rofl:

[Cirque du So-What]

7. What a socialist hellhole!

Looks like the squalor you'd see in some other socialist nation...perhaps in Scandinavia. We all know what hellholes those countries are!

[JohnnyLib2]

8. Only one baby (maybe)!?

Trouble, trouble, trouble. :evilgrin: :sarcasm:

[Warpy]

9. DAMN YOU

You just made me miss that city. I haven't missed it for the past few years.

I do now.

[BostonMa]

18. Come for a visit

[walldude]

10. Whistling past the graveyard.. the whole lot of them...

Can't they see the apocalypse is nigh?

[Starry Messenger]

11. The horror...the horror...

:D

[graywarrior]

12. Undercover mayhem.

[liberalmuse]

13. Don't be fooled, my friends.

This feels like Yellowstone, quietly brimming below the surface, until one day, BAM!!! A large gay geyser will erupt, spraying everyone with a warm stream of bubbly, effervescent...gayness. And that, my opposite marriage friends, is where the chain of events begins, eventually setting off a super volcano, flamboyantly exploding in an eruption of fabulous color, completely obliterating the safe, heterosexual color spectrum. The sea's and the moon will turn bright fuschia. Box Turtles will start migrating to Massachusets, Iowa, New Hampshire and Vermont in droves. Yes, it has been foretold that the Apocalypse shall be brought on by cute little gayby's clad in rainbow-colored Huggies holding jewel-encrusted rattles from Bergdorf's in their chubby little clenched fists.

17. Stop it. I LOVE it. I HATE it. I LOVE it. n/t

[BR_Parkway]

29. Damn, I need a cigarette after that! Maybe a shower, maybe both

[eppur_se_muova]

33. "obliterating the safe, heterosexual color spectrum" .... NOOOOOOOO!!

Amurika MUST have brown, gray, and all the infinite variety of safe colors in between !! Civilization demands it !!

[RetroLounge]

[Tesha]

37. No, that's not the "naughty pastry" place.

"That place" that you're looking for is on Mass Avenue
near the Hynes/ICA T stop.

[Vickers]

16. Oh, the humanity!

:spank:

[Arugula Latte]

19. The fundies told me it would look more like this:

What happened?

[alfredo]

21. You should have warned us. That's going to leave a scar.

[PBS Poll-435]

22. I am so craving a McLobster right now.

:-)

[BlooInBloo]

23. lol!

[Bonobo]

24. You can thank Western Mass at least as much as Eastern Mass if you ask me.

Northampton, Amherst, Berkshires.

[pepperbear]

25. But MCDONALD'S WASN'T GAY BEFORE!

[Tesha]

38. No, they were limited by law to meals that were merely "Happy!". (NT)

[Jim Lane]

26. How do we know those pictures aren't photoshopped?

Maybe the opponents of marriage equality doctored them to give a false impression of widespread carnage.

[PDJane]

27. Looks right to me........

But I live in Canada, and have been happily watching my gay friends get married for years now. And divorced. And living like everyone else. And, of course, gays and lesbians serve in the military openly...seems fairly civilized to me.

But we've only legalized same sex marriage for four years....maybe the fifth is when the worst happens?

[Tesha]

39. If you want a plague of locusts, sometimes you have to wait 16 years.

Now Frogs, or the Charles River running red with blood, now *THAT*
can be arranged at the drop of a hat!

Tesha

[PDJane]

45. Over a couple of people who love one another?

Nah.....

I kind of like the whole idea, and can't figure out why all the fuss....but again, I'm a Canadian.

[NMMNG]

28. MY EYES!!!

Oh, what's become of my home state? What horrors Teh Gays hath wrought upon it! :cry:

[cboy4]

30. I didn't realize it was so bad.

:wow:

[Vinca]

31. In all fairness, they do have a healthcare system that sucks.

Both gay and opposite families find they cannot afford Mitt's wonderful reform. I only add this because I'm so worried we'll be having Mitt's plan served up to us nationwide.

[eppur_se_muova]

32. OH THE HUMANITY !!!

... of it all.

[rucky]

35. My eyes! Ze goggles, zey do nothing!!!

[Tesha]

36. Holi Canolli! It's the Modern!

That last picture is "Modern Pastry" on Hanover Street in Boston's
Italian North End.

That may well be the best place in New England to get Italian
pastries.* And yes, this is true even *AFTER* the legalization
of gay marriage in Massachsetts!

Tesha



* I have no experience with pastries in Little Italy in NYC, or
I might make the claim that the Modern has the best pastries
in the Northeast or even the country.

[Bluebear]

42. Oh I will vouch for that!

Modern cannolis....homemade and to die for!

[Toucano]

40. Look at the devastation!

Hard to believe anyone would bother getting out of bed in MA.

edit: typo. stupid, stupid typo!

[Kaleko]

41. I told you so.

"Nation, your depravity will reach biblical proportions if you don't listen to me!"

[Spazito]

43. Damn, the same carnage occured all across Canada!

You were warned!!!

Great thread!

[Captain Hilts]

46. Shit - why didn't you post a warning about these photographs!!!
