But what if they propose to me in public in front of all our friends and family after we’ve been living together as a couple for the past five years? Do you not understand the amount of pressure that puts me under?
What about people with low self control?? What if a hot as fuck gay guy proposes? I won’t be able to say no and the law won’t protect me!
Its just a penis that you can actually reach! Not a big deal!
Should… Should we tell him?
No law can protect you from hot people, they’re going to wind up on top one way or the other
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
It’s basic thermodynamics, really
You could have told me that some years ago, now I’m married to four different dudes.
Can they, though?
Depends. Are they pretty?
They’re fabulous
Fabulous enough that I can’t possibly keep them to myself?
I suspect that depends a lot on you.
Are you the jealous type?
Now we’re in poly dynamic territory.
Look this won’t work because the people who oppose gay marriage are the same people who do not understand the concept of consent.
As usual it can be boiled down to projection. They think they’ll become the victim of what they fantasize of doing to women.
Project that they are closeted themselves
I can attest to this. I’m a cis man and not ever has another man ever proposed to me in a gay way. I’m what you would call “ugly looking”. I might find it flattering if someone did propose. But my wife would not be amused. I do understand that other men might be offended by someone telling them how strong their friendship is and that they want to be with you always. But that’s just some men (the dangerous one probably)
Some dude carrying most of a bicycle said hello today and then told me I looked good.
It was nice to hear. Since I don’t want to fuck someone who could very well have been homeless and, judging from the parts of the bike he had was probably on meth, I just said thanks and moved on. Like, I could have taken is a compliment or been like so many insecure jerkoffs and got up in arms about it, but just because you’re straight doesn’t mean a compliment stops feeling good.
If only it was that easy for their weak minds.
Those stupid sexy gay people! Being so attractive!
I’m actually opposed to all state recognized marriages in the Unites States. I believe it violates the separation of church and state clause of the 1st Amendment. This is the same reason that people who (genuinely) oppose gay marriage oppose it.
If adult couples want to enter a legal contract joining their assets and income, then that should be available to everyone regardless of gender or sexual orientation, but that should also be separate from the religious covenant of marriage and associated ceremonies performed in a church.
So I’m opposed to state recognized gay marriage, but I’m also opposed to state recognized heterosexual marriages for the same reason.
What about Civil Marriage ?
The sky man don’t need to be involved at all.
It’s not the courts, it’s insurance companies who will stab you every chance they get

The Libertarian Mind everyone. Functional normal people can’t even imagine.
Wouldn’t a legally binding contract be “state recognized”?
Absolutely. What I’m saying is that all couples can apply for the same legal contract, call it a civil partnership license, civil union, joint household contract or something to that extent. Marriage licenses no longer exist.
I would be compelled to say yes. Not because I’m gay but because I respect their bravery putting themselves out there by asking the question.
I would be compelled to say yes. Not because I’m gay, but because I really hate to displease people.
Yes, but the problem is gay media will turn our children gay and the secret magic formula from SATAN is so clever that it only works in one direction and watching straight media doesn’t turn gay kids straight! Look, it makes sense when you don’t think about it!
But what if an extremely pretty women proposes to me :3
(Ik an extremely horrifying scenario)
Depends. If you’re a straight male, haha no that will never happen, we have done everything as a society to ensure it will be a thousand years before gender roles are abolished enough that we will treat men and women as equally-powered individuals in any relationship.
If you’re a straight woman, then congratulations, you’re in a “brave” hollywood perspective of homosexual relationships where gay people are never allowed to have a “normal” relationship, and it always has to be either tragic or unrequited, because we broadly associate being gay with something negative and we never want to see gay couples live happily ever after, particularly lesbians, they die faster than people of color in a horror movie.
If you’re a lesbian or bisexual woman, then you’re entering some world of mystery and fear that mortals will never know without the aid of a warp navigator and a series of ancient artifacts that grant protection from the arcane.
Im a Asexual Women but I like women :3
(Queerplatonically)
How does nonbinary fit into this scenario?
nonbinary
In this scenario that’s considered “analog” and you need to look at where the little-hand is in relation to the big hand.
Wait, I’m allowed to say no? I didn’t need to marry him? That’s not what my bro said when he proposed! I should divorce him, but well… Too late now to turn back. 💀
Great. Go post it on twitter. I can’t think of a more pointless place to post this than lemmy
Lemmy is so gay and I’m here for it. ✌️
