Mark: So Henry Capshaw came out the day after graduation! Told his family and just got on with his life! I's so great to see so many of our classmates now openly gay... like Tom Phelps and Sid Rosen and... Leon? Leon Littlefield? Who knew? Leon! Queer and here, man! Mike: Um... are you sure? B.D.: Yeah, define "openly."

When enough gays get married, they will stop using the term. Communal property can be a bitch.

“After homosexual marriage will be…”All the same stupid arguments used against interracial marriage. There is no equivalence between same sex marriage & those things. Animals & children can not consent to marriage. Turning a legal contract that confers responsibilities & benefits between two spouses, into one between many spouses is a very different thing than same sex marriage._ “we might have in Tennessee the father living with his daughter, the son with the mother, the brother with the sister, in lawful wedlock, because they had formed such relations in a State or country where they were not prohibited. [A man] with his numerous wives, may establish [residency in Tennessee], and we are without remedy. Yet none of these are more revolting, more to be avoided, or more unnatural than the case before us.”_ – Tennessee Supreme Court, ruling against interracial marriage

" I do not really care about your sexuality, unless you are making a suggestion to demonstrate with/on me, in which case it is very much my business. "When we have to put up with TV shows called, “The Gay Bachelor” and “Lesbian Housewives of Amherst”, you’ll have a point.

No doubt the Sarge would like to repeal Loving v. Virginia, since that’s what got us here.

The “mixed” marriage that strains my tolerance of diversity is that of James Carville and Mary Matalin.

Maybe there is something wrong with homosexuality?

My goat is really pressuring me to get married. I hope things don’t get to that point.

OMG! You are right!
Straight sex leads straight to perversion and NAMBLA!
We’d better outlaw sex right away!
Hawthorne over 11 years ago
Yes, this is true, and I’ve said it too.
That whole argument is specious, whatever you apply it to. But there aren’t a lot of people of any persuasion these days who can participate in a discussion on a basis of logic. Emotion is all, and we’re supposed to suck it up.
I’m tired of it.

“The homosexuals first just wanted the repeal of sodomy laws and they would be happy.
We still have plenty of sodomy laws in this country. They didn’t get it.
“The homosexuals next said the wanted civil unions and they would be happy.”
They got those in a few places, not everywhere by any means.
“Now the homosexuals want homosexual marriage across the country. They say this will make them happy.”
And if they get it, it will. Its not a done deal yet.
Relax. Nobody expects you to marry a gay. Certainly not if you are already married.
What is this obsession you have with the personal and sexual lives of others? MYOB. We’ll all be happier.
McSpook over 11 years ago
Yes, because gay marriage is “a contract between two consenting adults” (as is “straight” marriage),and all of your other examples (polygamy, bestiality and NAMBLA) truly fall into that same category.You are sadly deranged.
McSpook over 11 years ago
And breasts. Perhaps we need to outlaw cows and breasts, for they lead to milk, which children drink, then they become homosexual, grow up and want to marry goats. It all fits together so obviously.We must all thank Guard SGT for helping us find the way through his darkness.

Wow. The stupid from you just keeps coming. False equivocations, made up histories, so-called “truths”…were you dropped on your head as a child?

Marriage = consenting adult + consenting adult

It’s always a victory when people are treated equally.

More obvious than you imply. Certain characteristics noted in one year olds had 90% professed by age 20.The study did not mention how many lacking those markers had also professed themselves gay by then. That would have been informative.

Are you a depressed Republican? Are you a sad right winger because Obama was re-elected and his health care initiative was passed and Osama bin Laden was caught? Is that was has you down Buddy? Well, good news! Just try Benghazi! It will fix you right up! If not, try some other new scandal-gate remedy which is now appearing thanks to Fix News…

Where do you see the tip jar? Is that a reference to an earlier strip?

After bigotry will be…. Uh.. more bigotry. People will try to force others to live their lives as the self appointed Moral Majority thinks everyone should be, or they’ll have you stoned or burnt at the stake.The most immoral acts are to punish people for not living or being as those who are the most violent, think they should be, and the indifferent are those that empower the violent.
