FROM TOWLEROAD:

Ron Schwizer and Doug Kimmel, a Maine couple celebrating 40 years together, are a prime example of why the marriage equality law in Maine must be defended. I posted about current efforts yesterday.

And Mark Mutty, the executive chair of Stand For Marriage Maine, is a prime example of a bigot: Congratulations to them for being together for that long and being happy. We celebrate that for them. We just don't see the correlation here. The point is two people can get along and have a relationship similar to marriage, but it lacks the basic characteristics of a true marriage."

Get bent.

You must be fuming that you had to be civil in your little soundbite-we all known what you were saying about those "deviants" behind closed doors.

I love how conservatives can shit all over this because their relationship doesn't meet the "traditional" definition of marriage. What is the traditional definition of marriage? The woman was property. I guess if either Ron or Doug is willing to be property they would fit the definition and there would be no issue.

in the eyes of the law that is - who's logic is that based on?

oh, religious zealots who sneak down to Brazil for sex on the side, I forgot.
