You’ll get gay married and LIKE it, Brian Moylan.

:Leaden tones: Your life as you knew it is OVER.

It’s frankly adorable that this guy thinks that he has a choice.

Now that the Supreme Court ruled that marriage equality is the law of the land, a marriage with my boyfriend in New York would be just the same as my brother’s. Like all those people who immediately washed their Facebook profile photos in a rainbow bath, I’m overjoyed at the decision and glad to finally have the choice to get married. But, as of right now, it’s a choice that I’m deciding not to make.

This is the price one pays for mainstreaming one’s identity-group; which is to say, one must mainstream. That means marriage. That means kids. Which, by the way, means much less in the way of disposable income that can be spent on trips and extravagances, like furniture that isn’t kid-resistant. Does Brian Moylan think that his mom nags him now about getting married? Just wait!

Just. Wait.

And no, I have no sympathy at all. And it’s not because I’m a conservative*: it’s because I’m a father of two who has to plan out a simple week-long vacation as if it were D-Day. Welcome to the wonderful land of Bourgeois Morality, Brian Moylan.  Enjoy it, because you don’t have a choice anyway.

PS: The article ends with the stirring phrase “…our covenant is none of your business.” Alas, there was a 5-4 Supreme Court decision last Friday that declared that sentiment to be in violation of the 14th Amendment to the Constitution. Ain’t judicial activism grand, Brian Moylan?

*After all, I voted for SSM when it came up for a vote in Maryland. Because that’s how this gay marriage stuff should have been settled. By voting.

  1. Be careful for what you wish for, etc.

    Brian Moylan = Veruca Salt. And he is just going to understand that.

    Also that Mencken quote about “knowing what you want and getting it good and hard.” comes to mind.

      1. Oh, yes, as well as all the people who are now vulnerable to being “Common Law” married…..

        1. Yep.
          .
          Just for another wrinkle .. consider what a mess the Supremes’ finding may mean .. for instance, consider a same-sex common-law couple, both of whom have kids from prior hetero marriages, one of whom has $$$money$$$ ..
          .
          The couple die instantly in a tragic head-on car wreck someplace fabulous and .. the estate will become a legal battleground as the have-not kids try to worm in ..
          .
          Happens *every day* to hetero re-marrieds .. is why there are pre-nups.
          .
          Do you think the Supremes left enough time (and a hint..) for couples who could possibly be considered common-law to get their pre-nups together?
          .
          Yeah. This is going to be *messy*.
          .
          Oops?

          2. As to gay folks and marriage and the inevitable divorce , which follows like horse and carriage , I used to opine/ snark that we should avoid it as we have punished gay folks enough already . Yes indeed ,the lawyers have now a new client base and a lot of equitable distribution will be anything but .

  2. I would vote for gay marriage if put on a ballot.

    I would equally vote for the defenestration of those judges who attempted to inflict it upon the populace without a vote.

  3. you would think, but logical consistency goes out the window when it would impinge on what the left wants. don’t hold your breath. which just goes to show once again that gay “marriage” isn’t really marriage.

  4. Depending on the status of common-law marriage in his state, he may be married already.
