[gondramB]

For a community that supposedly has and agenda and strategic planning it is particularly stupid to whine that they have to leave the state because of a protection of marriage act.... Do they think the people who supported this act will change their minds if it causes gay people to leave the state?

For Barbara and Tibby, the legal language it used was scary

Oh, Pulleeezzz.

[SteveMcKing]

Nobody is forcing them out. They are free to live whatever life they please.

But we are no longer compelled to recognise it.

Trying to check if I give a damn.................Nope, stil don't.

There's always that pervert magnet called San Fransicko they can move to.

[hsalaw]

[CzarNicky]

So are they leaving or not?

[wouldntbprudent]

Barbara Kenny's eyes narrow as she cranks the faucet in a freshly painted bathroom of what will soon be her new home in Frederick...

My first thought after reading the initial few words was that she had a bad case of penis envy. Then, after reading further, MY eyes narrowed when I realized I'd have two angry, man-hating, shapeless, frumpy women who smell of wet dog in my community.

[JennysCool]

Let me see if I have this right. They've lived a great life for 17 years in a community that respects them, and just because a law affirming marriage between a man and woman (which has been the status quo for far more than the last 17 years), is approved by the voters, they feel like they have to move?

Yeesh.

[Paleo Conservative]

Maybe they should move to MA.

[xcamel]

What was that line again..?? Oh yeah...

Boo Friggin Hoo.

[yldstrk]

Agreed.

Billy Bob and Miss Ewe sat on their porch when they heard the news. Billy Bob looked at Miss Ewe's sad woolen face, and said, "Next thing you know, it will mean us too." Miss Ewe, looked down at the carrot she was chewing on, and let out a sad, "baaaaa." And then lowered her head and nuzzled his knee.

Shouldn't the headline read:

Pair of Dykes Lost....?
