(CHUCK AND TERRY AT THEIR WEDDING)
Now before Chuck and Terry, Alfredo and Mike, AJ and Ray and all the
other gay couples that have gotten married, and want to get married,
please read this first before you think and do all sorts of nasty things
to me!
I do not like the word ‘marriage’ for gay couples and I will get to
that in a round about way. Let’s check off the list for opposite sex
marriages:
1) Propose on bended knee check
2) engagement party check
3) walk down the aisle check
4) be given away by parent or friend check
5) best man check
6) exchange rings check
7) exchange vows check
8) have a 4-5 tier cake check
9) slice cake Check
10) feed cake to each other check
11) sometimes smash cake into other genders face check
12) spend money on reception, sometimes have entertainment check
13)toast to bride and groom check
14) call each other bride or groom check
15) go on a honeymoon check
16 buy home, maybe have children check
AND, ACCORDING TO LATEST STATISTICS, 8.8 YEARS LATER GET DIVORCED!
Chuck, Terry, Alfredo, Mike, Ray and AJ how many of the 16 things did
you do? (Okay thankfully gay couple have their honeymoon BEFORE getting
married!)
Gay ‘marriage’ basically just started and already there is a divorce
case going on in Florida where recently there was a lesbian couple
fighting over custody of their child.
It is expected that this year the divorce rate will exceed the 50% it
has been hovering around and I don’t want to see same sex couples
adding to that figure.
I feel that since I never wanted to get married, never will get
married, maybe I can be objective about what gay couples can do to have a
better success rate at having a long lasting ‘marriage’. Why should
that word affect Alfredo and Mike being together 40 years, Ray and AJ
more than 10 and Terry and Chuck more than 5?
Gays can be and are smarter than nongays so let’s see if any of my
suggestions can get the ball rolling so that same sex couples can and
will LIVE HAPPILY EVER AFTER, something I believe in and want to see.
