Fantastic news. This thing will roller coaster pretty soon.
It's been said a thousand times before, but these arguments against marriage equality have been recycled for desegregation, interracial marriage, and now gay marriage. It's sad that everyone doesn't see right through it immediately.

The 'naturalness' of it is kinda irrelevant, really.

Time for a reality check about Arizona:
As we speak there are 6 little republicunt douchenozzles looking for the nomination for governor (Brewer is term-limited...perhaps the best use of term limits ever). One of them voted for the bill in the senate. Another has said he would veto it but then bring together the proponents to re-write a better bill...to give bigots cover for discrimination. The other 4 said they would veto it and they will piss off the base for that.
Whoever wins the republicunt nomination will..unless he trips on his dick or something...doubtlessly win the election in this fucked-up state.

Oddly, these 'rights' should not be dependent on 'marriage' to begin with.

Then some asshole hacks the machine because there can be only one virtual god.
For their sakes... I hope not. That's a brilliant way to manufacture insanity.
Getting everything you want usually precludes being extremely distraught at not getting something you want.
That 'asshole' has probably salvaged what few among the population haven't gone completely mad.

Marriage equality is taking root in the unlikeliest of places, and the tide is turning on marijuana legalization -- two things I doubted not so long ago that I would live to see. Now if only I can piss on Pat Robertson's grave while watching video of Fred Phelps getting buggered by a Catholic priest wearing a boy scout uniform, I can rest in peace.

I think I'd like to just know that this exists. I don't think I wanna see that.

Religion is not of sole fault. You give it too much credit

High schools are STI farms, largely because of how high school dating works. You have probably done well to stay away.
That said... calling people 'sluts' was probably unnecessarily rude.

I definitely shouldn't have insulted them, though if I was dating a girl, my peers would be expecting me to have sex. In fact they thought it was weird that I didn't know what orgasms were, how to use a condom, or basically have any experience with sex.
I think a big part of it was that I had some problems producing testosterone, so I really just wasn't horny. I had to start taking shots at about age 16, and it was a while after that before I started masturbating. Boy did that change everything.
