Now, in case you don't know me and it hasn't been made clear, I fully support gay marriage. I would actually go so far as to say that's my number one political issue. I've been on the record, in my younger years, proclaiming I wouldn't want to get married until everyone were legally able to, but unlucky for my idealism I met Dude.
The Weddingbee post didn't really make me think twice, except that by the time I saw it, there were already 50+ comments on it, and an hour later there were 70, so I had to read. And boy was I in for a treat. Hilario.
Aside from the obvious intial don't-you-dare-suggest-censorship reaction I had, I couldn't believe how these ladies were all, stop writing about being gay, where are all the DIY posts, put your politics elsewhere. I could almost hear their thoughts as they wonder "But, but... princesses can't marry other princesses... can they?!" or "Every wedding should have at least one person wearing a dress, why are they both wearing suits?" Dear Lord how those panties must have been all twisted at reading the post.
And that's part of the reason why I hate weddings so much. I grew up with homosexual aunts and uncles, it's completely accepted in my family and I grew up thinking that's the norm everywhere. I feel like the wedding world is full of Princess Grace wannabes, and if you don't fit that image, then you are outcast and shunned. And I've never wanted to be a princess, even when I was a little girl and my mom dressed me in all lace clothes. I ruined them and trampled them and covered them in dirt. Perhaps I was always supposed to be the jester.
And now I leave you, dear internets, with one of my favorite quotes, from none other than Mr. Chris Rock:
People always say that we can't have gay marriage because marriage is a sacred institution, that happens in the church. It's sacred... no it's not! Marriage ain't sacred! Not in America! Not in the country that watches "Who Wants to Marry a Millionaire?" or "The Bachelor" or "The Bachelorette" or "Who Wants to Marry a Midget?" Get the fuck outta here! Gay people have as much of a right to be miserable as everybody else!

Hi, I ended up on your blog through another blog (I think through monkey bride's blog?), and just wanted to leave a comment since I wholeheartedly agree with your sentiment as I was just as outraged reading some of the comments made on that weddingbee post. I could not believe how narrow-minded people are - all the while claiming that "I'm just as pro-equality as everyone else...BUT." Yeah right! I had to leave a comment in support of Miss Sweet Tea, and I wanted to be meaner (like "all you narrow-minded bitches go to hell"!) but wrote a much more toned down version. I can't even stand weddingbee sometimes, knowing that it attracts readers like those.
hi anonymous, thank you for visiting my blog, and you should know that profanity, while discouraged on weddingbee, is not discouraged on Another One Bites the Dust. thanks for supporting miss sweet tea!
