This charming little group was at the IHOP I stumbled into after my less-than-stellar downtown photoshoot this evening. The topic of their loud conversation? Why, gay marriage, of course. The guy with his back toward me was actually arguing in favor of it, while the two Neanderthals facing me (the one on the right I initially thought to be gay) were arguing fervently against, pulling out every ridiculous, disproven justification for their bigotry they could come up with. I guess I must’ve been rolling my eyes pretty loudly, because Mr. Shaved Head started giving me dirty looks after he hauled out the tired old man-on-horse routine: “Well what if I want to marry a horse?” (It’s obvious your wife already did—or at least a horse’s ass.)
Meanwhile, the one on the left was spouting the same old “foundation of civilization blah blah blah” crap. “GAWWWWWD made marriage between one man and one woman.”
Oh puleeze, Mary! Your spook-in-the-sky not only condoned marriage between one man and many women, but also looked the other way when rape and incest were involved. Traditional Family Values? You can keep yer family values if they look like that. Another favorite talking-point of Mr. Stink-Eye was, “No one is preventing them from getting married as long as they marry a woman.”
At that point I was ready to hurl some chicken Caesar in his direction, and if I had not been alone I would’ve gotten up and schooled the lot of ‘em.
I hate to say this, but the one on the right looks like, “Bi-Curious” on Manhunt.
And people that argue the loudest against homosexuality typically are the closet cases who can’t deal with their own self hate, so they take it out on everyone who is OK with being gay.
You were one brave dude taking this picture. I’m surprised you’re still around to post! I hate the little people of this world…yes, I said HATE! Even on this holiday. Seems like the Turkeys of the world haven’t had a knife brought up to their necks yet. Happy Thanksgiving!
@Lewis: Despite the size of my man-camera, I can still be discreet when necessary. It also helps that I had innocently been reviewing shots just a few minutes earlier so I don’t think they really took notice of it. Except Mr. GAWWWD…he seems to be looking directly at me there, doesn’t he?
see – ya just gotta steer clear of IHOP!
Baldylock on the right looks kinda cute…
Can’t we all just get along and eat our pancakes in peace?
And don’t forget how many women many men in the bible married and kept as wives and concubines? How marriage was around before Christianity, how women were treated as nothing more than property? Sheesh!
