I'm what you would call one of "them" and I don't even think we should be married in a church. Why would I want to be married by someone who doesn't actually want to do it?  This was more about the right of being married than who actually would perform the ceremony. IMO

Not too soon. That's point I was implying.

I'm just waiting for some dumb fucker to start a lawsuit against one now.

Agreed. If it means that much to you, then getting married in your home church is important. But odds are good that if you are a member of a church already, they are cool with your lifestyle.  You should get married where you feel most comfortable. Why stir up shit?  Weddings are stressful enough.

The churches will get a pass on this stuff, but the attacks on private business under the public accommodation standard pisses me off.  In this day and age, public shaming on Yelp/Google/Facebook etc. is more effective than a lawsuit. Don't force people to do things they don't want. If you disagree, bash them. Let the market decide.

Churches can accept whoever they want as members of their church. The church I attend for example apparently won't let me join because I wasn't baptized by submersion. I am a "member in waiting to be baptized". I explained that I grew up Methodist and that my grandfather was a Methodist minister that baptized me as a baby and then when I was confirmed in to the church. They didn't really give a shit. And neither do I really. That's their deal and that is fine. I don't have to be a member of the church to go and enjoy and get everything I can out of it.

They also wouldn't let me get married in the church because I am not a member. I don't really care about that either. Whatever. That's the rules of their church and I can accept them or go somewhere else. I accept them because I enjoy the church.

But if you were gay, you could sue for discrimination...and win in today's depraved society.


I don't care how you "think" it will go. We have already seen the lawsuits being brought against institutions due to discrimination of folks who choose a lifestyle and claim it has civil rights.

In today's society, they will try and destroy any organization that does not legitimize their lifestyle.

All of this. Everybody needs to grow a pair, sorry snags, and realize the world doesn't kiss their ass.

You don't say much, frien.  But when you do, it's to the point and I salute you for it.

This sheds an entirely different light on your user name. 

[Kaos]

Don't think it can't or won't happen. 

We've already seen private organizations -- groups that should have the right to choose their membership -- successfully sued because they didn't admit women, gays, blacks, Mexicans, transgenders, nerds or whatever. 

That was wrong.

For all this talk of "rights" where are mine?  If I don't want to rent my house to a Mexican family I'm a bigot.  If I don't want to hire lesbi-butch I'm a homophobe (despite the fact that I know my clients would shun me if I send lesbi-butch to call on them).  If I want to go to a men's only golf club where I can get away from the wife and "be a guy" for a little while, well I can't do that either.

All of that is just plain wrong.

We started down this path of the government deciding what's best for people with the whole integration thing. Forcing a society that wouldn't exist when left to its own devices is wrong.  Social engineering is and was a horrible idea.  So is everything else that's followed.

I'm with you on the government backed social engineering thing. My grandfather was an engineer for the Wiregrass RR for 46 years. But, I also think about how difficult it must have been for a black man in the 50's or 60's to drive from B'ham to Mobile while needing to shit, really bad.

At the same time, with the conditions of restrooms now-a-days, a spot in the woods is probably better than most restrooms anyway.

No doubt.  You've got to learn the hovercraft maneuver at most public restrooms.  But sometimes when you're prarie dog'n, a nice Toyota Truck bed is a safe haven in the wilderness.

WT typically likes to form a big thick layer of toilet paper to rest his nice clean bum on, for comfort and disease protection.

But, there have been quite a few emergency instances in which WT has had to plop bare assed onto the seat where the gays, blacks and Mexicans have all conducted business. And prayed that no water splashed up. And, in those moments, WT wasn't too proud to not shit where the average people have shat.

It having LSU stickers on it helps for a smooth movement.

And its mildly humorous that in the end, society has pretty much segregated itself.
