Re: same *** marriage petition (Canada) .

The only person whose inner workings I fully understand is me. To try to
assume I know how anyone else works would be quite outrageous. I fell in
love at first sight. That was 24 years ago, and it hasn't diminished.

Actually the main reason I take the time to get involved in this topic is
because (thanks to stereotypes) I am exactly the last person you would
expect to sup****t the right of those who are in "minority" relation****ps.
I'm a happily married woman, mother of six, pillar of the community my
dear.
Never had an affair, not so much as a flirty kiss at a party. Slapped a
few
faces of those with intentions thereof. Totally monogamous. I never had so
much as a crush on a member of my own *** either. I think women are
funny-looking actually, especially the popular ones (e.g models). I think
the old chubby ugly ones like me are far more interesting, frankly. Good
old
Ruben. Despite creeping middle-age and a good man of my own I still lust
after movie stars, and can be turned on very quickly by a picture of
Johnny
Depp. I think it's pretty safe to describe me as hetero. I DO object,
however to being described as "straight" because it suggests
vanilla/boring/Victorian prudism, and be assured that this ol' gal can be
as
kinky as the best of them, within my own (freely-chosen) preferences. Just
ask my husband. (He'll only smile, he's not telling, but he's not
complaining either). So, on the one hand I am the "perfect" respectable
middle-aged housewife, home-made bread and all, on the other hand I think
I
have a finger on human ***uality. Therefore, I tend regularly to smash to
pieces any pre-conceptions anyone may have on my being uptight about What
Other People Do.

I applaud any human being for standing up and being himself. I celebrate
when two (or more) human beings find that they are so deeply, spiritually,
romantically and utterly in love that they wish to announce publicly that
it's a bond worthy of ritual and/or signatures, and likely to last
eternally. There's nothing better than love, and nothing worse than
loneliness. I sup****t sharing the human experience with a soulmate. I
decry
misery, falsity, deprivation and imposed chastity. I oppose fraudulent
"marriages" based on anything other than love. There go 50% of the hetero
ones, right there. I believe we should love who we love.

And why oh why would ANYONE oppose ANYTHING that helps prevent "sleeping
around"?

Anyone who needs to "justify and reinforce" any relation****p with anything
would be better off  getting out. IMO.

OK </rant>
