Ahaha, I totally missed the public transport debate and damn. You got to be kidding me. Yeah, cars, freedom. You probably believe in stupid other obsolete things too, like... god or the constitution.

AHAHAHAHAAA, oh man you all Americans (except theunbrainwashed etc) are so ignorant. Does the Earth rotate? You're cavemen!

The United States didn't make homosexual acts fully legal in every state until 2003.

And yet, just 12 years later, we have gay marriage nationwide. How quickly things change!

I've been with my partner for 24 years - half my whole life. We haven't set a wedding date yet, but at least we won't have to move to New York to get hitched...lol.
The Christian right has been in full meltdown mode this past week.

Aw, that's nice. I hope you get married soon.

There was a 'Section 28' in the UK.. it was brought in by Thatcher to prohibit the intentional promotion of homosexuality by teachers in schools, and was not repealed until 2003. Section 28 originated in the social transition in British society from homosexuality as "illegal-but-discussed", to "legal-but-not-always approved" - so I guess in a way was social progress.

Incredible...a unproportionally high percentage of weather-forumers seem to be homosexual. I wonder why?



By the way I'm straight

I've got blisters all over my toe from waking as I did not wear socks. I've also found it hard to breath in the last 20 minutes due to hayfever.

I think i'm going to use an inhaler.

Thanks.

It still feels surreal - that gays can actually get married.

What an awesome era to be alive!

But we got gay marriage before you did...LOL. (yes, I know it was approved, but it's not effective until 2017 - why make those poor souls wait?)

The US is a young country - we'll get there eventually. Baby steps...baby steps.

Indeed. In 50 years, people will look back and think 'Gays couldn't get married once', like we do with interracial marriages.

How on earth did you know this? Didn't know our LGBTIQ policies were that known. And it was the only popular petition I've ever signed.

But enough of this faggot shit, my favourite presenters:




... Though I like Tomasz Schafernaker too.
