Would you attend a wedding if the bride and groom opposed gay marriages?
   
Say you were invited to be a guest at a wedding where both the male groom and the female bride were against gay marriage. Would you attend?

I don't think I'd ever be in this situation because all of my close friends favor marriage equality, but it's interesting to think about.

3. No. Point blank.
   
I would maybe send a gift, but no, I absolutely would not attend.

4. My nephew is getting married soon...
   
But I have no idea how he or his bride feel about gay marriage...

I'm still going, and so is the rest of the family.

I'm not sure what I'd do, otherwise...for other marriages, I mean.

I would certainly attend a gay marriage, if I were invited.

This is not as simple a question as some may think it is.

12. I wouldn't know what they felt about the issue, that's their business, but I wouldn't go anyway.

14. I honestly don't have any friends or family who are against full and...
   
total equal rights for anyone. We have a big extended family with gays and lesbians in every generation. My Aunt Liddy and her wife Anne were married by their Unitarian minister in my back yard.

I have had ex-friends who became fundies but as soon as their minds began to close our friendship began to wane. It's too bad because they had some good qualities and could be very kind (except to Gay people, Muslims and Liberals).

The question is...would they have come to Liddy and Annie's wedding if I asked them?

15. No and
   
just last week refused. My wife's friends, bigoted mutha fuggas.

A straight couple that you are friends with/related to took the time and thought into inviting YOU to their wedding (not a cheap proposition, either), and you're worried about what they think about gay marriage or you won't attend? :mental:

Pathetic.  There are so many things wrong with this.... :mental:

If I get invited to a wedding...I go because (A) I want to, (B) it's the right thing to do (friends' kids, my kids' friends) or (C) I can't think of an adequate reason not to.

It never has occurred to me to question the bride and groom' political beliefs as a criteria for attending their wedding.

Gosh.....I am sooooo shallow for not thinking about the important stuff.... :thatsright:

They keep lists of places to shop based on how Liberal they are.

Why shouldn't they keep friends the same way?

Does every DUmmie have a "friend application" that must be filled out?  I talk politics with a few people I know, but most of the time it's not a major topic.

Because there's no reason to keep a list, if there's only two others you can think of in between hits of pot smoke.

I talk politics too, most of the time it amounts to, "stupid frikkin DemoncRats"! and that ends the conversation unless they chime in, which usually gets us all started on Messiah the DUmbass.

Maybe that is why so many of them don't have any true friends and need the DUmp to validate their existence.

They grew up and saw the reasons behind the old functional sociertal norms, mores, and standards.  It's too bad you never did, DUmmie.

With the primitives not attending, I'd say the wedding party is the beneficiary.

I wonder in what way this DUmmie considers his "fundie" former friends "unkind" to queers? Do they beat them up, spit on them, curse them? Is that what fundamentalist Christians do? (Being such, it would be against my religious principles). Do they pray for them to see the light and find salvation? How unkind!

Now just how the hell does that work? Is this don't ask, don't tell for DUmmies? How pathetic that they just can't enjoy a celebration without politics. Well, maybe this is just a scrap thrown to their gay brothers and sisters since they've thrown them under the bus more than once lately.
