Taking Marriage Seriously: A Study in Contrasts
November 13, 2009
Simplistic arguments sometimes call for simplistic responses. Such is the case with the argument that lesbians and gay men don’t take marriage as seriously as do their straight counterparts.
With that in mind, I offer this comparison.

Gay wedding:

Which of these couples takes marriage more seriously?
(Thanks to Dorian for letting me use his wedding video. And yes, that is Matt Alber singing at their wedding. It was a surprise gift from one groom to the other.)
(D’awwwwww.)

While I accept and agree with your point outright, this is a *bad* comparison.
That's part of my point.
They want to use outlying examples as stand-ins for the norm, I figure we should do the same thing.
