A gay one.
This picture adorns perhaps half of the front page today of my daily read.
The two chaps in picture were married yesterday in a beach ceremony followed by a reception at a popular beach resort.
Having read through the usual ‘happy day’ quotes along with a few other details of the day the final paragraphs made me sit up..
“Our new surname will be Smith van der Berg, because we wanted to combine the two family bloodlines.
“Why should either of our surnames be lost?” Smith said.
And what are they most looking forward to as a married couple? “Starting a family. “We are past the party stage and seriously looking forward to starting a family.
“We have started with our practice child Alfred [the dog], who was our ring-bearer at the wedding,” they said.
(I’ve changed the surnames out of respect for their privacy)

Good on them.
It may no longer be a crime to be a poofter, but it remains unnatural and obnoxiously offensive to many normal people, although they’re not allowed to say so in this current day and age.
I hope you’re not going down with a nasty dose of turd-burglar-virus, Soutie? 😦

Of course, good for them, what intrigued me was the “starting a family” bit and the thought that having a pet dog was good practice for raising children!

I’m all for consenting adults to go about their business however they wish in private, I’m not at all happy that this was front page ‘news’ resulting in an apparent / perceived endorsement of homosexuality.
I don’t even know if same sex marriages are legal down here.
No viruses down here, we’ve all got a clean bill of health 🙂
Soutie: oh, it will take quite some “innovation” and natural efforts are classifiable as a pain in the posterior in this case. I don’t understand any of it — heterosexuals or homosexuals. It’s all too nasty a business for me, I prefer coffee.
fantastic! i take it the dog was their best man. congrats to them both and here’s to a long life of married bliss!
I’m even beginning to agree with Putin about demonstrations of gayness!
In my book:
a) marriage should be reserved for one fella, one gal
b) any other combination should be prevented from ‘starting a family’
c) if God had intended any of the rest of us to be queer he would never have given us Cliff Richard.
These lads have had their “posh frocks” day and I hope they’ll be very happy, but the idea of starting a family is just sick, unless they plans to add Tiddles the cat and Nemo the goldfish to Alfred the dog.

“Our new surname will be Smith van der Berg, because we wanted to combine the two family bloodlines.”
The chances of this are nil to none at all!
Someone has the unfortunate job to inform these queers that anal parturition as yet has not been achieved and not likely to be anytime soon.
Probably take turns in buggering the dog.
Time to put the whole thing back in the closet where it belongs, absolutely disgusting trolling their perversions in public.
I suggest their new surname should be Smith up der Arse, then everybody would know what their game was without all this ‘sick’ publicity.
I guess that I am not the only one on this subject that is quite open minded and happy to let consenting adults follow the sexual orientation that they desire, but at the same time would be quite disappointed if it was one of my children.

I suppose it would make a difference should you have sufficient spare children!
