Dogs are supposed to be color blind. That is the point of SLM's post. Not as funny when you have to explain the joke.




Ya, that's right cliffy, we needed it explained...... :roll:




There's no way Bear and I were having some fun.




We are both far too dense.

My dog can hear a cheese wrapper opening from 50 feet away.

And he's terrified of the thunderstorms we've had recently.....and his name is Zeus (I'm enjoying the irony of that.)

How far we've come...

Before Pride, there was a kiss: Toronto gay activists look back on 1976 protest

In February 1976, two gay activists were arrested at the corner of Yonge and Bloor Sts. for kissing each other. They were charged with indecency and later convicted. In response, gay organizations staged a “kiss-in” at the same intersection. Tim McCaskell, Gerald Hannon and Ed Jackson were among the protesters. Their interviews have been condensed and edited.

I would have considered it "awesome" if it had done before the ruling to show their support of SSM. Afterwards, just another also-ran.

I guess that depends on who you ask?? Ask a Muslim 8O
It's funny you should bring that up. Since in the Muslim communities, homosexuality is met with disdain and often violence.

AND!

Their defenders are also the most self righteous and vocal on this topic.

That's pretty damned funny, lol.

You are confusing ecstatic reverence with the bitterness of abject denial.

Of course, when that bitter denial gets salty, you are always free to join the resistance.



Same-Sex Marriage Supreme Court Southern States: Here's The Resistance
time.com

Supreme Court Ruling Gay Marriage

The resistance is mostly in the South

The U.S. Supreme Court struck down prohibitions on same-sex marriage in all 50 states on Friday, in a ruling embraced as a historic moment for LGBT rights.

But now the ruling has to be implemented — and many counties in Southern states where marriages between partners of the same sex had been either outlawed or not recognized are not rushing to change their policies in the wake of the ruling, and in some cases are actively delaying it coming into effect.

Here’s a look at how some states have responded:

Louisiana
Governor Bobby Jindal, a vocal opponent of same-sex marriage, has authority over marriage licenses in the city of New Orleans and has said that the city cannot issue licenses to same-sex couples until the local federal court specifically orders them to. Implementation of the Court ruling has also been held up in other parts of the state; Louisiana Attorney General Buddy Caldwell told the state’s 63 other parishes to wait 25 days before issuing licenses, according to The Times Picayune.

Texas
Confusion reigns in the Lone Star State, where Attorney General Ken Paxton told county clerks before the ruling not to issue any licenses if it was upheld, until he passed along word to do so. But the ruling came and Paxton has reportedly had nothing to say, according to the Houston Chronicle. Still, some more liberal counties have begun issuing same-sex marriage licenses on their own.

Alabama
State Supreme Court Chief Justice Roy Moore, a notorious opponent of same-sex marriage who oversees the state’s probate courts, has not yet stopped any local judges from issuing marriage licenses to same-sex couples. But probate judges there have responded in a variety of ways, including some who have stopped issuing marriage licenses altogether, according to AL.com.

Mississippi
The state is waiting for the local federal court to order county clerks to begin issuing same-sex marriage licenses, per a statement from state Attorney General Jim Hood. Another official, Mississippi Judiciary Chairman Andy Gipson suggested that the state should consider not issuing marriage licenses altogether as a result of the ruling, according to the Clarion Ledger.

Nope.

We have two people in this thread that disagree with the courts ruling. Neither seems salty, just put off.

Of course, when that bitter denial gets salty, you are always free to join the resistance.
Neither of them is me, something I wouldn't have to mention, if you were at all objective or not so blinded by your saltiness, lol. So again I ask, why are you so salty?
