GROSS

DC Is Also Gay-Marriagey, Maybe

Too bad there are no Gays in Washington D.C. (HEY-O!), because now they can go get gay married in New England or Iowa, come back to Washington D.C., and have that gay marriage legally recognized! (It will be like the Trail of Tears.) Because the D.C. City Council approved a measure “to recognize same-sex marriages performed in other states.” Gay joint tax returns? COUNT IT. On the other hand this may go nowhere since Congress approves all D.C. legislation under our system of black chattel slavery. [Washington Post]

    Trail of Tears is already taken. What could we call it instead? Trail of? hmmm…what rhymes with tears, is contextually apropos and starts with, I dunno, let’s say Q?

    shortsshortsshorts:

    Back off, Shorts, I already paid the bride-price to his parents for a goat and and two handfuls of wheat pennies.

    I’ll pick you up in back, Newell. Wear something sexy.

    Sully and his hubbie probably are going to gay-celebrate tonight with gay-sex. gross…

    Buttsecks!

  7. Gopherit says at 2:56 pm, April 7th, 2009

    Tommmcatt: shortsshortsshorts: You both disgust me. He’s a GINGER! It is forbidden.

  8. The Huffington Pogue says at 2:58 pm, April 7th, 2009

    Iowa, Vermont, and DC? Maybe gay marriage comes like celebrity deaths.

  9. Tommmcatt says at 3:01 pm, April 7th, 2009

    Gurkman:

    No worse than imagining any random pair of straight middle-aged people making the two-backed-beast.

    Oh, wait, Andrew Sullivan.

    Forget what I said. That is gross.

    The song “It’s Raining Men” has never meant so much to me.

  11. SayItWithWookies says at 3:09 pm, April 7th, 2009

    You think Congress will overturn this? I don’t know — the Republicans will all be for it, since they always approve of local sovereignty, and they only need a few of the liberal Democrats to go alo — wait, stop laughing.

  12. Doglessliberal says at 3:09 pm, April 7th, 2009

    This calls for a celebration!:

  13. Doglessliberal says at 3:11 pm, April 7th, 2009

    SayItWithWookies: yeah, local sovereignity except when it comes to marriage, sex, and the reproductive system.

  14. L Urchin says at 3:12 pm, April 7th, 2009

    hockeymom: And divorce brings a bonanza to lawyers, therapists, moving companies, not to mention the revenge-mediation-sevices, such as dry cleaners, TV and computer repair, etc. Thanks for stimulating us all, gayz!

    MONTPELIER, Vt. – Vermont on Tuesday became the fourth state to legalize gay marriage — and the first to do so with a legislature’s vote.

  16. Advocatus_Diaboli says at 3:20 pm, April 7th, 2009

    Doglessliberal: and drug laws, and gun laws, and pretty much everything else they can sweep up in the commerce clause.

  17. sevenrepeat says at 3:42 pm, April 7th, 2009

    …and here i am in california dodging gay marriage bullets. who would have thunk.

  18. suchsweetthunder says at 3:48 pm, April 7th, 2009

    sevenrepeat: I know right? I love me some of that Double-Rainbow ice cream (with the picture of the curious couple and the Golden Gate Bridge on the front) you can get at Trader Joe’s . . . because I’m a libtard and shit. But like San Francisco is sooooooooo five years ago.

  19. chascates says at 3:52 pm, April 7th, 2009

    Once middle Amuricans get over the shock of the buttsecks legalizing cannabis should be a snap!

  20. Bearbloke says at 3:53 pm, April 7th, 2009

    Gurkman: Indeed! I wouldn’t f!ck Andrew Sullivan with your dick!

  21. choinski says at 4:00 pm, April 7th, 2009

    Reports are in that Vermont has overridden the Governor’s veto. (One of the original ‘nay’ votes failed to show on the override). Sugar on Snow for everyone!

  22. smashtheduck says at 4:06 pm, April 7th, 2009

    chascates: I thought the whole point of legalizing cannabis was to get them over the shock of buttzecks. Xbox and snack sales also.

  23. Ahneta says at 4:31 pm, April 7th, 2009

    User-of-owls: Win. And does this mean we’ll have even more gay singles ads on our wonkette pages? Because that totally ups my liberal street cred when someone sees one-eyed flexy man on my laptop.

  24. smashtheduck says at 5:16 pm, April 7th, 2009

    Ahneta: If that Red Energy Patch ad isn’t the gayest ad in history; I don’t know what is.

  25. Harvey Birdman says at 6:14 pm, April 7th, 2009

    20 years ago Andrew Sullivan was pretty cute. I’m just throwing that out there.

  26. Tommmcatt says at 9:29 pm, April 7th, 2009

    Harvey Birdman:

    20 years ago Mickey Rourke was pretty cute, and I TOTALLY don’t want to think about him having sex.

  27. Aux armes, citoyens!
