1. Yeah I have to file for divorce today,
40 years of marriage down the drain, and all is took was less than 24 hours of undefended straight marriage.

5. Well, after 40 years, you're not going to have any more babies together
so yes, you have absolutely no reason to stay married.

After all, marriage is solely for the production of infants.

16. Oh my God I wish I would have known that,
I have been living wrong for the last 25 years. All that wasted sex, when I couldn't get pregnant.

2. Yep - all straight marriages are now a sham
and we will all be forced to marry someone of the same sex next year.

21. I actually asked this question for Toastmasters table topics
For those not familiar, this is the part of a meeting where members are tested on spontaneous speaking ability by giving a 1-2 minute response to an unrehearsed question.

I cheated a bit as it was a small meeting and asked everyone the same question - pick out a same sex spouse.

I was somewhat surpised at the difference between male and female responses. All the men went with the gorgeous cutie tyopes like Brad Pitt etc. The women picked spouses based much more on personality. Stereotypical I suppose, but as I am pretty sure all respondents were at least primarily straight, I was a bit surprised at how stereotypes of attraction crossed into very hypothetical situations. I wonder how gay audiences would answer the reverse question of picking a different gender spouse?

7. Exactly, this ruling automatically makes all heterosexual marriages
null and void. You must marry a member of your own sex, as of yesterday.

9. Ruined my marriage posthumously
My husband died over 5 years ago, and his ghost came to me last night to tell me he wanted a divorce. Even in death, our marriage doesn't count anymore. :cry:

15. Marriage, indeed, has become obscene, the cultural residue of decadent
Edited on Thu Aug-05-10 01:22 PM by skip fox
historical distinction and oppression based upon sexual/species categorization. The new family will take up residence in the barnyard or, depending on one's taste, the zoo. . . . Marriage is dead. Long live marriage!!!

17. It could be worse. Here in Texas no marriage is recognized.
Really. The anti gay marriage law reads “This state…may not create or recognize any legal status identical or similar to marriage.”

Just like that they annulled every marriage in the state.

20. Aw, look on the bright side
Now that your marriage is crumbling, you can finally see what it's like to lick meth out of the navel of a rentboy. Just like the Republicans who those dastardly gays have ruined forever.
