At the registry:Good morning. We want to apply for a marriage license.
Names?, said the clerk.
Tim and Jim Jones.
Jones? Are you related? I see a resemblance.
Yes, we're brothers.
Brothers? You can't get married.
Why not? Aren't you giving marriage licenses to same gender couples?
Yes, thousands. But we haven't had any siblings. That's incest!
Incest? No, we are not gay.
Not gay? Then why do you want to get married?
For the financial benefits, of course. And we do love each other. Besides, we don't have any other prospects.
But we're issuing marriage licenses to gay and lesbian couples who've claim they'd been denied equal protection under law.
If you are not gay, you can get married to a woman.
Wait a minute. A gay man has the same right to marry a woman as I have.
But just because I'm straight doesn't mean I want to marry a woman. I want to marry Jim.
And I want to marry Tim, Are you going to discriminate against us just because we are not gay?
All right, all right. I'll give you your license. Next.
Hi. We are here to get married.
Names?
John Smith, Jane James, Robert Green, and June Johnson.
Who wants to marry whom?
We all want to marry each other.
But there are four of you!
That's right. You see, we're all bisexual. I love Jane and Robert, Jane loves me and June, June loves Robert and Jane, and Robert loves June and me. All of us getting married together is the only way that we can express our sexual preferences in a marital relationship.
But we've only been granting licenses to gay and lesbian couples.
So you're discriminating against bisexuals!
No, it's just that, well, the traditional idea of marriage is that it's just for couples.
Since when are you standing on tradition?
Well, I mean, you have to draw the line somewhere.
Who says? There's no logical reason to limit marriage to couples. The more the better. Besides, we demand our rights! The mayor says the constitution guarantees equal protection under the law. Give us a marriage license!
All right, all right. Next.
Hello, I'd like a marriage license.
In what names?
David Anderson.
And the other man?
That's all. I want to marry myself.
Marry yourself? What do you mean?
Well, my psychiatrist says I have a dual personality, so I want to marry the two together.
Maybe I can file a joint income-tax return.
That does it! I quit! You people are making a mockery of marriage!
Apparently some of the voting slips for the survey in Aust were sent out with "BUMSEX" printed on the barcode:
The Australian Bureau of Statistics who are managing the whole thing have apologized and claimed it was inadvertent error.
Australian same-sex marriage voting slip sent out with 'bumsex' barcode - NZ Herald
^^ With two trillion combinations of ten digits plus twenty six letters, all sorts of words can be formed at random, and this is exactly what happened here.
Funny though.
Is there no Fucking Privacy ...
Tens of Thousands of PRIVATE mobile (cell) numbers have been sent a SMS (Text) message to
vote YES to the SSM question !
The deputy Opposition and lead YES campaign advocate, Tanya Plibersek defends Yes campaign
after thousands receive same-sex marriage texts.
Deputy Opposition Leader Tanya Plibersek has defended an unsolicited text message campaign
urging people to vote Yes in the same-sex marriage survey.
Key points:
- Australian Marriage Equality says messages were sent using a "technology platform"
- Sparks privacy concerns about whether phone numbers had been kept on a database
- Deputy Opposition Leader Tanya Plibersek defends text message campaign
Thousands of messages telling people to "help make history and vote yes for a fairer Australia" have been
sent this weekend, prompting many to ask how the campaign got their phone numbers ... Grrrrrrrrr

British lesbian wins landmark Hong Kong residency case
A British lesbian has won a landmark legal challenge allowing her residency in Hong Kong as a dependent, in a ruling Monday that could make it easier for gay couples to move to the Asian financial center.
Hong Kong’s Court of Appeal found that the woman, identified only as QT, faced discrimination from an immigration department ruling denying her the right to live and work in Hong Kong because the city does not recognize same-sex marriage.
The three-judge panel’s decision, which overturned a lower court’s judicial review, caps a yearslong fight by QT and her partner to be given the same treatment as tens of thousands of other expatriate workers who are allowed to bring their heterosexual spouses to the former British colony.
QT and her partner married in a civil partnership in England in 2011 and moved later that year to Hong Kong after QT’s partner was offered a job. She applied for a dependent’s visa but was rejected on the grounds that she was not considered a spouse and since then has spent her time in Hong Kong on a tourist visa.
Under the immigration policy, “each foreign worker is only entitled to apply to bring one spouse to join him or her in Hong Kong,” one of the judges, Justice Andrew Cheung, said in the ruling. “Whether that spouse is of the same sex or different sex is neither here nor there. In terms of quality, whether the spouse is heterosexual or gay cannot possibly be relevant.”
Hong Kong is home to a sizable contingent of expatriate workers employed as bankers, lawyers, teachers, accountants, pilots and other skilled staff. In a sign of the case’s importance to Hong Kong’s financial community, 12 global banks and fund managers including Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley threw their support behind QT and sought to present their views to the court.: https://www.washingtonpost.com/world...=.2c9588e1106d - https://www.nytimes.com/aponline/201...a.html?mcubz=1
Keep your friends close and your enemies closer.
...If only the swamp had such an enlightened judiciary: spouse has been trying to get me on a very generous government health program...the application has been stalled by the usual bureaucratic waffling though, oddly, no seat warmer has yet brought up the fact that our US gay marriage isn't recognized here...
Majestically enthroned amid the vulgar herd
^The whole issue of international recognition would be much simpler if Civil Unions were institutionalised and standardised.
Australia has Civil Unions but they are state based so they vary.
They are recognised internationally in some countries such as the US.
I think the vast majority of countries who do not (and probably will never) legally enact marriage between 2 men would have less of a problem with recognising a Civil Union as a foreign legal instrument of kinship than asking them to recognise 'marriage' between 2 men.
OH ... FFS
The NRL Grand Final is being played this Sunday.
There is the usual pre-game entertainment, as in a Live Band/Singer.
Who have they got (at short notice) for this year?
One of the songs that will be played in Macklemore's half-time act is Same Love, which advocates LGBTI rights, including same-sex marriage.
NRL CEO Todd Greenberg today backed his decision to bring the rap artist to Sydney.
"I don't regret choosing Macklemore," he said.
"I think it's one of the bravest decisions we've made for pre-match entertainment, but people will be the judge of that after the show on Sunday."
If men kissing isn't your thing, then don't view the clip
So, AGAIN, we have the head of a Major Sporting Organisation, the NRL, making a call on our behalf.
Fuck Off NRL CEO Todd Greenberg ... you don't speak for me.
Stop making Football a political statement ... sport is above that.
^This bullshit is bang out of order.
There is a democratic process underway to gauge public opinion.
Sporting organisations have no business aligning themselves with politically contentious positions.
Footie fans should not have this political nonsense pushed in their faces on a Sunday arvo.
It is not up to the NRL to start making supporters who may legitimately support traditional marriage feel as if they are not welcome at the NRL grand final.
Sexuality politics has got nothing to do with footie.
LULZ!
If it had been the NRL bringing someone like Ted Nugent to back the ‘No’ vote Loopy would’ve been all for it.
And those poor footy fans feeling not welcome can shove their butthurt, harden the fuck up, and still go if they want to. It’s not as though they’re being denied a right that’s open to others...
^ ^
Absolutely Loopy,
Sport is sport and Entertainment is entertainment.
When i go to a concert and pay good money i do not want the lead singer giving me a lecture on how good or bad Trump is.
When I go to the Footy I do not some fukin wanker telling me whether Faggotry is good or bad.
I pay money for the enjoyment of both principles and not to be lectured on shit that has fuk all to do with what i paid my money for.
Springsteen was a proper coont touring Australia and bringing his hate for trump to his concert.
Fok off eh.
^^
Fook of Aunty,
You would cry like fuk if some sick Fuk spammed your Baby thread with spam about Trump being an Awesome person eh. ???
Dumb fuk Aunty.
Absolutely not.
I think business and sporting organisations should stay out of contentious politics altogether.
It is not as if we don't already get enough of the bullshit PC propaganda through every other imaginable channel including blatantly biased national broadcasters like the ABC.
The long weekend Sunday grand final should be a break from this interminable horse-shit.
^
Of course,
But these political wank stains and Faggotry loving tossers think that everywhere in the whole fookin world is fair play.
Fuk Em,
I'm over these shitstains.
Halftime act to include a song that celebrates love in all its forms... Tweery And Loopy lose their collective shit.
^
Oh Ok Aunty,
Ill go over to ya Shitty Kiddy thread and start posting up shit about Gay Marriage and how pooves are fuked and how Trump is fukin Awesome.
Deal.
their fear, though understandable, is still a manifestation of stubborn ignorance: the world must play by their rules alone because...it's always been done their way...suggestion: if they don't like the music, mute it; if they don't like corporate messages, boycott...if they don't like change, cultural evolution and equality for all, they can join slick in his Alabama double-wide...
^
Jesus mate,
I'm being very Patient with you but can you please give the faggotry flag a rest.
If ya keep on crackin on I'll just have to Amp the stuff up.
I'll make ya a deal, Leave me out of ya flag waving and we are all cool.
Ta.
