'Today' OKs Gay Weddings Gay marriage may still be a subject of hot debate elsewhere in the country, but NBC's Today show has decided, with some outside prodding, where it stands: Same-sex vows are fine with them. For six years, the show has been running a series that offers an on-air wedding to couples willing to let viewers help select details down to the honeymoon location. One stipulation: “This opportunity is open only to currently engaged couples consisting of a male and a female.”

After inquiries from gay-rights activists and an article last week in The Advocate, the policy was changed at week's end. A Today spokeswoman explains that the show has always strived to have the winning couple get legally married on the show. Previous weddings had taken place in New York or Anguilla, where local laws bar gay marriages, but this year's contest is about “hometown” weddings—which might take place where gay weddings are permitted, notably Massachusetts.

Sorry, me no write good. I meant to say they want governmental acceptance and endorsement.

I meant to say they want governmental acceptance and endorsement.

but but but Lynxaken said "Many gay men live in fear of retribution and judgment and the last thing they want to do is indicate their sexuality on a government form".

They are confused about everything aint they?

I figured out why I hate the Today show and most other morning shows except on Fox News. Fox News talks that thinks like normal people. Most people think gay marraige is filth.

Thanks for listening. I feel much better now. Not that it will do any good, 'cause I'm sort of preaching to the choir here, but I betcha there is a pretty huge choir out there.

You never know who is reading what you write. And good, clear points in rants may help others to verbalize thoughts they had trouble expressing until you made it concise. I think Freepers "sharpen" one another. :)

Sure has helped me! I learn a lot here...not just about politics, but about writing, social structures and "what makes people yell at each other for no good reason." Ha!

[massgopguy]

Actually I believe they want adoration.

I too have a better idea of what level of frustration I can reach before a rolling boil occurs. I have also learned there's a point where I need to go to bed! LOL!!

I was there at post #25 ... love your fries picture :-).

[pollyannaish]

LOL! VERY true.

[Tax-chick]

Oooh, good rant!

[pollyannaish]

Thanks TC. As I said, I feel much better now. I often wonder what I could do that would be more productive. Something that would really make a difference.

Unfortunately millions are trying at the ballot box, and through the constitution—and getting slapped in the face by the government and MSM, convinced of their own "sensitivity."

Me, too.

[jusduat]

I am really relating to the "what can I do thing"
One person..two jobs...supporting too many people.

[Tax-chick]

Now I feel guilty ... I think I'll go clean the toilets!

[GunnyHartman]

D'oh! I just watched that DVD last night too, thank you.

20. I have been posting there since last Sept. as gidget7.
I almost got caught near the beginning of this year but those folks over there are as gullible as they are clueless.

Good luck and keep your head low.

Homosexual Agenda Ping.

Anyone think the MSM is not biased? Well, maybe a lurker from DU.

I suppose none of you watch the Tripe Show anyway, but it might be a good deed to communicate with them and let them know what you think about their fawning support of "Gay Marriage".

It's going to be an interesting few years. The more the homosexual activists and their slavering supporters on the left try to force an inverse world view down our throats, the more people are going to decide they've had enough of it. At least that's what I think/hope.

Freepmail me if you want on/off this pinglist.

Note: They think that they're going to just wear down the opposition. The problem with that is that our opposition is not a mental idea, it's Truth.

Spot on...NICE rant. You get a spot in my profile page. (not that THAT'S a big deal or anything LOL)
