Our wedding kicked a$$! We had a great time. Of course, the FIL opened the bar after it was supposed to become "cash" because he didn't want anybody to stop drinking.N8 said:
Meh, tell your fam to suck it up. It's not like homosexuality is a new phenomenon, whether they approve or not they need to learn to live in harmony with people of all kinds anyway. Period.
They should just tell them that Alexander the Great was gay.Ridemonkey said:
He was Great. And he kicked all kinds of a$$.
That should set them at ease.
my wife's sister is gay and his boyfriend is a black guy, so they're gay and an interracial couple, makes for some interesting situations in redneck oklahoma for sure

No way.Cooter Brown said:he's gay, so I call him my wife's sister
We say "Aunt Tim" as well.
He is not a flamer:redhot: though, and is a super nice guy so its not as fun.
I'm not married, but my sense is that a marriage is for two people and the wedding is for everyone else. If you don't want to deal with these issues, don't have a big wedding. I disagree that your marriage won't work because of family members. Unless, of course, you think your spouse feels the same way but won't admit it.
Chunky, your view is well-articulated and thoughtful but if you change "gay" to "black" in some of the things you say it would be pretty easy to see why it would be offensive. "That element"? Come on.
Your god tells you not to judge other people. What would you be doing by backing out of a marriage because a family member is gay?
