I feel sorry for Richie's son.

Imagine being a young gay man whose father is a rabidly homphobic godbotherer.

The irony is that the only chance that Richie has of having grandchildren from his son is if gay marriage becomes legal and his son marries another bloke and adopts.

And of course Richie's son is living proof of the fallacy of D.Funkt's satirical item 10, i.e.

<< 10. Obviously gay parents will raise gay children, since straight parents only raise straight children. >>

Well you cannot have blackface as that pretends you are another race but you can have a man flitting about in a vulgar female stereotype and called a wife which is a female. Or a feamle wearing a suit to look macho?

So can you pretend you are another sex, but not another race?

Just need clarification. PC is so based on flavour of the month rather than logic.

TheMissus - the topic is gay marriage, not female impersonation or blackface.

Do try and keep up.

Some couple in gay marriages use the term Husband and Wife. A wife is a female. Females have been downtrodden and victimised all throughout history. Wife is one label the female own yet men want that as well? Then some, not all, impersonate woman in the most ugly fashion...for laughs.

Isn't this type of behaviour on the past as well or are females not due the same respect?

I have to say that is a pretty weird line of argument from someone who posts under the pseudonym of "TheMissus".

In any case, the debate is about whether homosexual people of any gender should have the right to marry, not what they choose to label each other once they've done so.

This may come as news to you, but there are lots of lesbian couples out there who'd like to marry too. Probably some transgendered people as well.

Shock! Horror!

The number of women emotionally abused by gay men pretending to be married is staggering. They have shown complete and total disrespect for women. Do you know how it feels to be married to someone who knew from the start they were gay but needed a woman for show? For their career? To please their family? Now they want "title" wife for the real "girls "they love and the "marriage" term for their union? But the real woman were never ever worthy of the title wife and their marriage a scam?

I have no issue if they want a union but pick their own cute terms and show some respect to the women they have abused for so long. Leave the term marriage, wife alone and forget dressing up as silly looking woman. Enough is enough. I am bowing down to everyone else with thier silly Ï am so offended" well now it is my turn.
