Why shouldn't gays be allowed to be as miserable as the rest of us? Also, I loved some of the signs at the prop 8 protests. The whole gay marriage debate is just silly. I actually make a point of tipping more than necessary, especially if I pay with a credit card (with my last name, you know). *Who is actually a very good tipper, even if she cannot order anything off the menu without a substitution or something on the side. Yeah, neither Ali* or I were pleased with their responses. What's incredible is that they were too stupid to realize and/or thought most of the public were too stupid to realize that at some point - no at this point - it's just close-mindedness and wordplay. The mediator then called bullshit and asked specifically about 'marriage' - and with that rather silly word they both did a complete 180. They were so happy and proud to say it and the same words fell out of both of their mouths to the floor.

They both answered the exact same way, positively assuring everyone in the audience and TV land that they all agree same-sex couples should have all the same rights, liberties and benefits, etc. You might let your bigotry slip in front of your grandchildren one day, and sure, they'll still love you, but for the rest of their lives they will think a little bit less of you.Īs a Southerner, I consistently feel immense shame for those people I know (and still try to love) who are/were mired in the pre-civil rights mindset.Įven if same sex marriage leads to a Road Warrior-like existence?ĭpwolf wrote:The most memorable moment for me from the debates (in a bad way) was when Palin and Biden were asked about same-sex marriage. One day, if you live long enough, you will be emabrassed and lie about your vote. These motives are spurious and transparent. You are not linguists, and many of you are divorced yourselves. You claim your motives are to 'preserve marriage', or even just the definition of the word. You are no different than the bigots who tried for so long to hold back the inevitable tide of the civil rights movement. It will be legal in our generation, and by the time my children are grown it will be as unremarkable as a black man sitting at the table next to you in a restaurant. You will not oppress homosexuals forever. But this is just ridiculous and ungenerous.Gay marriage opponents, listen up: I've got a secret to tell you What's not funny is the way we seem so determined to paste the most invidious interpretation on everything, making every man a rapist, every adult a potential child molester, and every light hearted cartoon from a previous age a sure sign of oppresive and benighted malice.

Why would we expect anyone of some other time, past or future, to find our humor funny? How would they even begin to understand it? Is this funny? True to life?Who even knows, it was a different world back then. So in this cartoon the girl has simply decided not to be a 'good girl.' The guy has made an advance, to which she screamed 'help,' as all good girls were supposed to do, and she has now decided she likes what she is feeling-which is, of course, 'it.' (Note that the word 'pass' itself appears to be outdated.) Good girls were supposed to scream, faint, blush, or call for help if some guy made a pass. 'It' wasn't even supposed to be a mentionable thing.

And in the mythology of the 50s, 'good girls' didn't 'do' it 'good girls' weren't supposed to 'like' it. Think Doris Day, Frank Sinatra and so on.

And Playboy in 1971 was already outdated the humor was oriented more to the 50s and early 60s rather than to the 70s. It was certainly not seen as such in 1971.
