SOURCE: BRITNEY TO ANULL VEGAS WEDDING

AP) - Pop star Britney Spears married a childhood friend from Louisiana in an early morning ceremony, but quickly arranged to have it annulled, people close to the entertainer said Sunday. The 22-year-old Spears and Jason Allen Alexander of Kentwood, La., "took a joke too far by getting married" Saturday, her record label, Jive Records, said in a statement released to "Entertainment Tonight." "Ms. Spears and Mr. Alexander have filed for an annulment which will become official on Monday," read the statement by Sonia Muckle, Jive's vice president of publicity.

The bride wore a baseball cap and torn jeans down the aisle and was escorted by a Palms limousine driver, the source told the AP.

Maloof denied rumors that Spears was drunk and had to be carried out of the Rain nightclub inside the Palms on New Year's Eve.

1. I said the same thing.

My girlfriend and I have been together for over 7yrs. We share every aspect of each others lives, yet, we cannot get married. But Ms. Spears can go an tie one on in Vegas and do it as a joke!

Pathetic!!!!!! <:grr:>

2. Ah! The moralists at work yet again.

My partner and I will have been together four years this march. Through that time, we have spent the most of it apart. Why? Because these so called "moralists" and trying to protect the sanctity of so called marriage. What sanctity I ask myself, the divorce rate is above 50% in the United States alone. Does anyone listen to me? Nopers. I am just some crack pot Aussie who is a queer and out to destroy the little kiddies of the world by recruiting them to my lifestyle.

Well let me tell all these so called moralists. You might keep my partner and I apart by not allowing same sex immigration or marraige, but you won't break us! We will be together one day, because my country is on higher moral ground than you, and does allow same sex immigration.

3. Thank God you have Fred Phelps defending marriage!

he says "Same sex marriage is the ultimate, smash-mouth, in-your-face insult to God, as it desecrates the holy metaphor of Christ and His Bride the Church."

4. ROFLMAO! (n/t)

[Rowdyboy]

5. I agree with Ahnold

Same sex marriage should be reserved for heterosexuals. Its a sacrament!

7. You might want to read the Constitution..

Who is protected? "All persons born and naturalized.."

Not: "all straight persons.."
Not: "all persons - except for the homos.."

---

The guarantee? ".. equal protection of the law."

Not: ".. equal protection of the law - except for civil marriage law."

---

If you don't like it, you can always seek to amend it.

8. I'm assuming you understood that the quote

"same sex marriage should be for heterosexuals" was Schwartzeneggers, not mine, and was absurd.

Actually, I'm a gay man in a long term committed relationship so I'd love "equal protection"

[tedoll78]

9. oops..

sorry about that. Me too.

He really said that? Wow. Well.. pile it on with the list of things Bush has said.. sheesh.. :P

[tedoll78]

6. And me.

Maybe we should protect it from heterosexuals. They're the ones making a mockery of it. They have no high moral ground from which to judge..

10. This thread deserves a kick

:kick:

[Rowdyboy]

11. kick for a worthy story

:kick:

[PVnRT]

12. Yes, how sanctified

Glad we don't have those damn homos messing everything up! :eyes:

[Cocoa]

13. this story destroys the whole sanctity of marriage thing

Margaret Cho had a great line a while ago, she said, straights can get married by an Elvis impersonator, gays should be able to do that too.

[radwriter0555]

14. If marriage is SOOOO sacred, then they'd outlaw DIVORCE...

That simple statement shuts up the moronic hypocrites EVERY SINGLE TIME.

[bobbieinok]

15. there are religious right types who would love to

outlaw divorce. They'd also like to close all battered wife shelters.

[Skittles]

16. BUT KZOO

DON'T YOU KNOW - STRAIGHT MARRIAGES ARE SACRED AND PERFECT !!! YES INDEED !!!

[ninkasi]

17. I had the same thought...

when I read about that farce of a wedding. There is a young man who is like a son to me, who has been in a loving and stable relationship for quite a few years with his partner.

They own a home together, they have a marriage in every sense except for being able to have it formalized. They are an asset to any community, and to the U.S.

To say that their ability to marry would threaten the sancity of marriage is ridiculous. They bring so much that is positive to the human race, and it really infuriates me when the right-wing nutjobs act as though their relationship is a sin.

The sin is to deny full rights to every person; the sin is to deny people who love each other the ability to have their relationship recognized.

18. Heh, heh. "speck in your brother's eye, plank in your own. . ."

and all that jazz.
