Maybe you can help me, I’m rather confused. I’m very confused actually. People always say that gay marriage isn’t family friendly. And advertisements that feature gay marriage are OH MY GOD THINK OF THE CHILDREN IT WILL DESTROY THEM FOREVER.
How the fuck does that make sense? In what way is gay marriage not family friendly? Two people coming together to make their own family. Sounds pretty family friendly to me. Even if they aren’t planning to have kids! They’re each other’s family. But two men or two women getting married isn’t family friendly.
A group called One Million Moms is boycotting Macy’s because of an ad in a magazine showing a wedding cake. The wedding cake happened to have two grooms. And that means Macy’s is deserving of a boycott? I love Macy’s. I can’t afford to go often, but I love shopping there. I’m actually rather glad that they’re boycotting, they obviously aren’t deserving of the beautiful clothes that can be found at such a wonderful store.
Many of my friends come from a family. The ones that don’t are imaginary. They’re still pretty cool. One of my not-imaginary friends is particularly awesome. I won’t mention his name, but he totally has TWO MOMS! Too bad his family isn’t family friendly. It’s obviously destroyed him, he’s a pretty normal guy. And I’m not even gonna mention the guy that argued in front of a committee for gay marriage and his fucked up family. His lesbian parents aren’t internet appropriate and I certainly don’t want to expose my readers to that.
But clearly One Million Moms is (are?) right. Some families simply aren’t family friendly. Maybe the ones with alcoholic parents are a more appropriate target for their ire than families with two dads or two moms. Just a suggestion.
