62. This is a perfect argument for marriage equality
Wed Jan 30, 2013, 04:44 PM
Jan 2013

The guys have been together for 38 years, fer crissakes! That sounds like a lifelong dedication to each other from where I sit.

Marriage equality is coming and these homophobes and fundies will not be able to stop it. I've always said to people with anti-gay views that if God is against homosexuality, then why have there been millions and millions of them throughout history? I thought God didn't make no mistakes, so what is it?

But hey, congrats to Jim and Stan!

Mazel tov! I wish them 38 more years of happiness! Happyhippychick Jan 2013 #1
