I find it interesting that the network says they’ve only received 78 negative responses though. I think that’s a better indicator than any of the arguments we’ve made here about how far acceptance and tolerance has come. Imagine what that response would have been 10 years ago.

Still, not the time or place to be promoting their personal agendas.

I don’t mind the occasional “…would like to thank my awesome wife…” or “…thank my wonderful partner of 25 years…” that would be ok.

I don’t see the big deal in having to get up in front of TV viewers and the audience and telling someone you love them and then kissing. that wouldn’t even really be appropriate to a legitimately married couple in that forum.

lets get back to the entertainment and leave the personal and political views out of hollywood. hmmm…

I think it is beautiful when two people dedicate themselves to each other and live together in that love. But marriage recognized by the state is not neccessary to their lifestyle and it is just plain stupid for them to whine about it. Recognition of domestic partnership -if they want state sanction is fine. And yes they can go through the same nasty laws to undo it that folks who are married go through.

But marriage – a religious sacrament between a man and a woman. Obviously two men do not qualify.

What you do in the privacy of your home is your own business, but don’t do it in public and expect me to accept it. I have some tolerance towards the gay community, but I don’t believe they deserve special treatment. I feel most gays have an political agenda for everything they do. They are thrusting themselves into the lime light and forcing us to “just deal with it”, which is totally unfair. It’s funny when a conservative does something like that, we are called intolerance if a liberal does it, he is commended for speaking his point of view. Funny how that works.

I say a simple handshake or a pat on the back would have been sufficient.
