How many marriages were destroyed today

[edhopper]

Because I kept hearing about how legalizing Gay Marriage would destroy marriages.
I expect a wave of right wing divorces.

1. Mine was, I think....Wait, let me check...Nope, cant spend all night at the casino

tonight.


so sad

[11 Bravo]

2. Can't talk now. I need to leave my wife of 25 years ...

and our two sons so I can rush out to get gay married!
I'll get back to you.

[KamaAina]

3. At least one.

6. But that threat pertains, I believe, to Australia.

So their marriage is safe until the Australian parliament decides to ring the curtain on marriage inequality.

4. first thing i told my husband when he woke up this morning was that we have to get a divorce

[Betty Karlson]

5. You mean all those closet cases finally admitting to their wives that "this cannot go on"?

Well, if this ruling brings a wave of such declarations, then I hope the wives may find forgiveness for the tortured souls that ask for a divorce. And I hope the tortured souls will have the decency to ask forgiveness for all the years they lied.

[MoonRiver]

7. Yeah, my husband and I are going to have to have a talk.

Marriage just isn't what it used to be after today.

16. lol n/t

[Angry Dragon]

8. Rush Limbaugh and Newt Gingrich have suffered greatly from it

[Maedhros]

9. Unfortunately, I predict this decision will result in hate crimes, because 'Murika.

I sincerely hope not, but we live in a nation awash in fear and hate.

[maryellen99]

10. Yeah me too. these homophobic racist teabaggers

Really believe that blacks women and guys are out to get white people.

[Maedhros]

11. Indeed. The Gay Mexican Terrorists are coming for them. [n/t]

[awoke_in_2003]

12. There will be blowback...

all that can be done is to keep pressing forward.

[hifiguy]

13. What is zero, Alex?

[Aerows]

14. If you already wanted a divorce

I guess Tom and Harry getting married would be an excuse. Unless, of course, your wife or husband decided to divorce you because you are a raging bigot.

[Jim Lane]

15. I don't know, I'm too busy trying to find a dog to have sex with.

And after I get that out of my system, it will be time to start hunting for two or three people to join me in polygamy (which, as I understand it, will soon be legal also).

[restorefreedom]

17. we have a winner!!!

hilarious ...sadly also reflective of some people's actual beliefs. already heard the polygamy one floated.

[logosoco]

18. I thought we were supposed to find a turtle to marry?

Wasn't that the bumper sticker a few years ago?

If anyone can find a turtle or a dog that consents to marriage, let me know. I have been to many different weddings and I could add that one to my experience!!!!

[Jim Lane]

19. I think it was Santorum who specifically said dog.

But, hey, I'm open-minded. If someone's marrying a turtle I'll join you in angling for an invitation to the wedding.

20. actually, jackson galaxy went to a cat wedding

but it was cat cat so i guess it doesn.t count. he did have a fit though..it was a client who insisted on dressing her cats in costumes. he got her to stop.

[Jim Lane]

22. Well, I'm a liberal in most matters....

But if someone proposed a law to prohibit people from dressing their cats in costumes, my commitment to individual choice might waver. I'm with Jackson on this one.

[restorefreedom]

25. mine too

he was visibly upset. he said it was one of the most appalling things he had seen.

[jmowreader]

31. Come on Jim, be real...

Everyone KNOWS you're supposed to be looking for a horse!

[Jim Lane]

32. Oh, yeah? Well, here's a link for you, genius.

I was right about it: "Rick Santorum Defends Interview Linking Homosexuality To 'Man On Dog' Sex (VIDEO)"

As a compromise, how about if I enter a polygamous marriage with a dog and a horse? Isn't that legal now?

[jmowreader]

34. Sure it's legal, and so is Biblical Marriage

[Jim Lane]

35. Thanks for the video! It has a lot of images of hot women in revealing clothing.

I know they're only cartoons, but as a heterosexual man I still find them sexually arousing.

Now I'm confused. I thought opposite-sex attraction was ending. For everyone.

Maybe I should ask the nearest hippie to explain it to me.

21. "....and dogs and cats...living together...you know...mass hysteria"

To quote Bill Murray.

The day after SSM, the rain still falls, the Sun still shines and life continues on...just a bit better for some who now feel like they aren't second class citizens anymore.

[Retrograde]

23. Both of us forgot our wedding anniversary two weeks ago - does that count?

Even with both of us looking at the calendar and going over our schedules for the week we we just looked at the date and said, no, nothing happening that day. Thanks, Obama court

[gratuitous]

24. Haven't heard about any marriages breaking up

But I haven't seen the Smite Report yet to find out where God is pissed at.

[Travis_0004]

26. Statistically? About 2400.

2400 divorces two days ago. 2400 divorces tommorow. . .

[boston bean]

27. Well, now that I got the whole other half of the population to legally marry....

[JustAnotherGen]

30. You rock!

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

28. haha, excellent point. What a great decision - ty Anthony Kennedy!

[JustAnotherGen]

29. We're good!

It's been a rainy dreary day in NJ and we don't have kids soooo . . .

[phylny]

33. Thirty-four years married, and shockingly,

although we were expecting to be ripped apart by this decision, it hasn't happened. YET....

Get back to me next week.

[eridani]

36. 45 years just got shitcanned.

Being bisexual, I can get gay-married, but DH is just heteroflexible and would find that much harder.
