Man, how'd we get onto long winded discussions about Justin Bieber and Ayn Rand in the same thread? For all Rand's talk of Objectivism, her commentary on gay issues was evidently incomplete without emphasizing how disgusted she was by gay people. (I'm disgusted by the thought of anyone having sex with her, but I don't need to say that to comment on her ideas. She was so mature, wasn't she?) I've got not use for her except for the lovely atmosphere of Bioshock.
Getting back to the thread topic, is anyone else here gay and waiting for the marriage laws in your area to catch up with the times? See, I got engaged in February. There is no way the state where I live is going to legalize same-sex marriage without federal intervention. The supreme court in here is 100% Republican, and the chief justice (in addition to writing openly bigoted, anti-LGBT rulings in the past) was removed from office in 2001 for violating his oath of office by enforcing God's law over state law. You'd think getting removed from office would bar you from assuming that office again, but it apparently does not and no one learns from their mistakes here. So, I was really hoping SCROTUS wouldn't be so coy with these recent same-sex marriage cases.
While I can't get married right now I can perform marriages. I've not done it yet, because every couple I know is either already married or can't get married. I feel like a Great Lakes Avenger with these pointless marriage powers. In the mean time, I've already forced an old D1 buddy to get ordained too so he can officiate at my wedding when the time comes. It's weird, though. With his newfound powers, he's mostly been coaching his friends to get divorces.
