I think it is fan fucking tastic. I am going to nag my brother to propose to his boyfriend, they would have the most amazing wedding!

The thought of Stilton and broccoli soup turns my stomach. Doesn't mean I want to stop those who enjoy it.

I am very pleased, will make an honest woman of the missus (for the third time)

Ps: don't feed the trolls people. Xx

To anybody who's going to justify their homophobia by quoting from a book I shall add from the second book of Samuel. Your love for me was wonderful, more wonderful than that of women. Words attributed to David talking about Jonathon.

I can quote books too.

Ok then Grin

I said to DH "Do think Elton and David (gay couple living next door - not their real names!) will get married?" He said "If they do, it will probably have a better chance of lasting than many straight ones - present one excepted of course! They will have got married without expectations from others being a factor and will be more likely to have interests that they both enjoy doing together". I said "If invited, would you go to the ceremony?" He said "It would be interesting, though I'd probably opt out of the late night party. If I'm invited, I hope DS would be too."

Turns out that that DS (8) has asked about Elton and David and DH has just explained that some guys prefer other guys and don't have to be like the flamboyant ones seen on TV. They look and act like regular blokey blokes DH is glad they don't fit the stereotype. I was dreading having to explain DS about homosexuality and the neighbours, but DH had it all covered.

Hermione, rebel - are congratulations in order?

Rebelrebel · 18/07/2013 21:08

We are already civil-partnered grimma - and had a commitment ceremony many moons ago - do you think a third ceremony is pushing it a bit? Would quite like another party Grin

GrimmaTheNome · 18/07/2013 21:13

Have some Wine and Flowers. Smile

Rebelrebel · 18/07/2013 21:14

What lovely news. About fucking time too.'when I explained it loosely to my 11 yr old dd she asked " what dies it have to do with anybody else?"
I think she hit the nail on the head.

BIWI · 18/07/2013 22:48

Aww - congratulations, Rebel and Hermione!

BIWI · 18/07/2013 22:49

You see, isn't it lovely, when two people declare their love for each other?

Lj8893 · 18/07/2013 22:56

Thanks educated for making me cry!

Futterby · 18/07/2013 23:09

Yeah! Major congrats!

McNewPants2013 · 18/07/2013 23:12

the bible is so complicated because i have found this as well

www.christiangay.com/he_loves/Jesus.htm

So here, our Lord Jesus states that not everyone will marry according to the custom as in male and female. He also said that not everyone can accept this. He says that those that can accept it should accept it. Can you accept what Jesus said? I can.

Sorry if i have confused anyone by my previous post ( doing my big clean before the kids break up)

McNewPants2013 · 18/07/2013 23:12

Also congratulations to Rebel and Hermione.
