I feel like all my family weddings as a child and adult have kids at them. Mostly cousins though. Never seems weird to me, but most of the events are receptions in big tents in a nice yard. Not a 4 star restaurant.

I do sometimes roll my eyes because it seems like in many Hollywood divorces for rampant cheating, the guy claims sex addiction. But I would believe it in Wiener’s case because he seems to have zero judgement or self-control. If it happened once and he didn’t realize the girls he was messaging could save and…
This made me laugh more than anything else today.
Outside of the Catholic Church and maybe conservative Jewish sects, I think it is sort of anything goes in the US. My atheist husband and I got married by a Congregational minister in a Quaker meeting house.
I agree with everything you say there. However, a theoretical member of an already progressive church can do all that and still have zero impact on what the Family Research Council does.
I am not ignoring any of that. I wouldn’t really call myself a Christian or not at this point. But, I have been involved in both the UCC and the Methodist church when I was younger. You are conflating a lot of issues, some of which depend on how bureaucracies are organized, some of which don’t.
My only issue with this, is that these different sects are totally different institutions. So sure, Methodists from churches that are LBGTQ accepting can and should work within the bureaucracy to change Methodist policy, but Methodists don’t have a way to change Baptist policy. It is like saying a Sunni from Saudi…
That is exactly it! I can’t remember now why it fell flat to me. Maybe what led into that conversation. Or maybe this feeling like “we are comics with a gay friend so we can use the word because we are edgy and we know its history”. Or maybe it was just genuine discomfort with watching Rick having to explain it to…
I am glad he is evolving on that.
Exactly. If he admits that he watches it, he then has to say what he thinks about it.
Class of ‘oo here. LOL at those black pants. That was definitely the uniform.
Yeah, he had a bit about “faggot” in one of his episodes. I can’t remember exactly but it definitely made me uncomfortable. You can say that is the point of comedy, but I was uncomfortable because he seemed really clueless about how to make it funny and who should be laughing about it.
My only expertise is one college class I took 20 years ago, but that pretty much expresses my fears.
I was so sad when I learned he was gay. Because otherwise he would have totally dated me....
What time was it there? I imagine it might have been easier to see on the West Coast when it was lower in the sky (just like how you can look at the sunset/sunrise). It was about 65% here and I could see it through glasses, but looking through my phone it just looked like the sun.
With this whole Nazi shit I have see a few Facebooks memes from his supporters along the lines of “Now everyone has stopped talking about Russia and is talking about Nazis, obviously Russia was just fake news!” No....just because his new outrageous thing has made us forget about the outrageous thing from last week…
I didn’t realize it until this post either.
As a white American, I have to say that I am always more conscious of someone being black than being another minority. Not in a “I’m scared of a black person”, but in a weird noticing “that person is black”. Doesn’t apply to people I know or see on a regular basis, but so much of the national narrative is black vs.…
As long as the police is on board with keeping the two sides separate, which I think was a big failure in Charlottesville.
