From the looks of the photos, it doesn't look like many straight people were in attendance. Come to think of it, when Connie Kopelov and Phyllis Seagal, got married, one of them was in a wheel chair. Do you suppose this is becoming a trend?

How exactly do you tell from a photo whether a person is gay or straight? There were over 250 people at the wedding - where are you coming up with this "it doesn't look like many straight people were in attendance" nonsense (what photos are you looking at?)? Since you seemingly are in the know, how many straight people do you estimate were in attendance (and why on God's green Earth does that matter)?

What a great social novelty that amounts to an ant hill in the mountain of a mess we have in this country today.

Congratulations that you will soon be able to marry somebody of the same sex under the foot of fascism.

Hey, I think marriage is silly but I'm glad they're free to do it.

What a bizarre and mean-spirited post.

And I agree with Hammertime33 -- how on earth can you tell from pictures who's straight and who's gay and why on EARTH should that matter?

I wish the happy couple many more decades together.

As quoted in the article: ' "We had always said that we wanted to get married in New Jersey," Fulton told USA Today, but "we didn't want to wait any longer," particularly because Gnesim, 52, is a breast cancer survivor and suffers from multiple sclerosis.'


And you are making fun of her for BEING IN A WHEELCHAIR. You are much sicker than she has ever been.

Fascism is a far right wing ideology. Good to see you agree that Right Wing Conservatives are destroying this country.

Yeah, no kidding... that was lower than low.

And I'll join the others in asking, how can you (20Years) tell the ratio of straight vs gay people at their wedding? I only even see a handful of faces in the pews, and couldn't tell you for a hundred dollars if they're gay or straight. Really now!

I'm so thankful I decided against military chaplaincy.
