Me and my hubby meet and had a non legal spiritual ceremony in 1985. I was 21 and he was 26.
We just got the legal paperwork done a month ago.
The ability to get the piece of paper was nice but really had no meaning other than legal issues. It just got stuck in the safe with all the other papers.
There are lots of disabilities, some worse than others.
But you should never allow others to dictate your happiness and sense of self-worth. That's as bad as letting some hate monger make you feel bad.
I know a lot of out gay Muslims. It really all comes down to the sect of Islam you're from.
All depends on the person you want to be. Can you live a life in secret and lie's and still be happy? Some people can but I have never seen it work long term. All secrets eventually come out.
Why would you even think about it? Don't do it. Keep your parents at arms length and slowly have them pushed out of your life. It sounds hard but it works. Eventually, they will come up and ask why you're so distant. Then tell them. Give them the option of being in your life and you in theirs or go your separate ways.
Save a ton of hurt and emotional scars that could come.
You never dated much when you were younger, did you?
Its not just a gay thing, it's an everybody thing. Most straight guys just want to fuck and move on to the next target. Not interested in relationships. Same goes for gay guys.
Many girls are the same way. They just want sex and that's it. Turkey may be different in that respect.
Most of the guys I hear your words from are kind of sensitive and haven't had very much dateing experiance. Which is why you feel the way you do but on the plus side, if you ever have a real partner in your life. Him and you will be together a long time. That same analogy works in straights too. People who have had tons of sex partners are the worst life partners. Something was nulled and lost with all the sex. They lose the ability to make a significant bond with another human being. Now I am not saying you can't it's just hard.
As for looks?
I tell this to all my young friends. You are a book. Your appearance is the cover. Make it the nicest cover you can. If that means watching your diet, working out, learning something new or whatever. Make you as good as you can.
Focus on you and not others. Make yourself proud of yourself and others will be happy and proud for you too.
Ivanka and Jarred are both democrats. Neither have ever voted for republicans. They have given small donations to republicans but nothing compared to what they give to democrats. Hell! Even Trump played both sides of the fence for the longest time. He never voted for a republican until 2012. Before that, he was a democrat in the same way as his kids.
Funny thing about hate. It spreads like wildfire to all sides. Then it just has to die out.
I try to teach my friends that if you perceive someone as a threat?
Remove the threat!!
In The US it's pretty easy.If you are smart.
Don't read to much huh?
The investigation of the Trump campaign and Russian ties are still going. The CIA has already said that there is enough evidence to continue. As did the FBI and the CIA.
Trump firing the guy who was looking into it was a dumbass move and then to go on national TV and say that was the reason he got fired? Dumbest move ever.
Flynn lied about his contacts as did several of Trump's campaign aides.
Trump refusing to release any financial information at all is also very suspicious and extremely unethical for a sitting president. Especially when it could just wash away all the accusations in one sweep. But refusing to do it just makes him look more guilty.
Then you have 18 secret meetings with Russians in the white house and decline to admit thats what you did? It's the white house for god's sake. It's being watched by every security agency from almost every nation on the planet. How stupid can you get?
Trump is a fool. He is playing professional politicians as if they were investors in one of his many failed resorts and properties.
Why does Putin have Trump by the balls? Because most American and European finance centers are closed to Trump because of his tactics of filing bankruptcies and delay tactics on civil proceedings. He could only get financing from Russians and some crazy Chinese investors. But Putin can demand they close his accounts in a heartbeat and there would be nothing Trump could do. So Trump has to kiss the Russians ass.
Russia hated Obama, north Korea hated Obama. But most of the rest of the civilized world thought Obama was one of the best presidents America has had in a century. China loved him.
Nobody likes Trump except Russia. Everyone else thinks he is a lunatic.
You poor ridiculous Hillary fanatics need to get some new material. Trump is a crook and going down. Putins puppet is a joke and the Russian orthodox church is nothing but a bunch of child molesting sociopathic thieves.
If Trump worked with the russians during the election, took money or anyone in his campaign? They should all be brought up on treason and conspiracy charges. After they are found guilty, execute them in a public way.
Russia is no ones friend except Putins own house of slaves.
Watching these russian trolls is entertaining. They are like talking to a 5 year old with ADD. Either that or they are stupid as rocks.
Please don't feed the trolls.
I see it as both a historical symbol of a failed aristocratic party and a symbol for haters.
The confederate states were not real democratic in their way of governing. Just because you were white didn't mean squat and voting? Depending on what southern state you lived in, you most likely couldn't vote for anything. A rich landowner could very easily block entire parts of a county from voting.
It was a seriously crooked and corrupt system that favored the rich landowners. Look at how Russia is today and you get a sense of what the south was.
Why do you think so many southerners headed west when the new territories opened.
YOU MEAN " Thanks Obama!!
The orange orangutan hasn't been in office long enough to effect anything.
Lots of right wing groups have routinely called out and protested at speaking events of left leaning people. The heritage foundation even pays people to do it. The focus on the family organization has events scheduled in advance to protest speakers that they don't agree with and they and others like to gang up and try and force speakers down.
It pretty much the same from both sides, unfortunately. Look at many of Hillary Clintons campaign stops. She had people try and disrupt as much as Trump did, probably more.
I have heard lots of progressives condemn the Berkeley conflicts as wrong. All depends on which news station you watch. Fox won't show both sides of a story and sometimes msnbc won't either. CNN seems to show more balance.
Most gays and progressives do not lump people together into homogenized groups. Conservatives on the other hand, like TRUMP, routinely lump groups together and infer how bad they are. Conservatives have been doing this for close to 40 years now.
I am a Christian, I am gay and I know that Christianity is comprised of lots of separate factions. The same is true of Islam. No two Muslims are the same and I know lots of gay Muslims.
In America, The conservative administrations of the past century have condoned the destruction of more democracies than any other governments on the planet. All because those people voted to the left than to the right. But most all the rights support was to protect the interest of wealthy individuals over those of a countries people. Look at Iran. Look at Costa Rica, Look at many south American countries that are controlled by dictators. All put in place with the help of America. America seems to love putting dictators in power because they can control them for a while.
Mhorndisk is a sorry POS troll. Ignore his retarded ass and his post. Shame we cant block him.
Us military family here and I can say you are full of shit.
None of my family or friends support trump on anything. He is all talk and no do. The only thing trump is out for is TRUMP.
He says what people want to here.
So far he has been nothing more than a puppet for the tea party.
He has no clue what he is doing.
I cannot believe the pure ignorance and lack of education about history in this thread.
The KKK, as well as many other historical items, can not be associated with the two American political parties.
First of all Dems and Repubs have switched sides a couple of times over the centuries.
So instead of parties, you should think of ideologies.
For most of the republican parties existence, it was the home of progressives and socially active politicians. Its why Lincoln freed the slaves. It's how we got continental railway service and veteran affairs.
Democrats on the other hand, have just as much been the conservative party. For most of its existence, it was the party of the religious right and thats pretty much where it stayed till the civil rights movement of the 50 and 60's tore both parties apart. Southern conservative democrats, most of which were KKK , refused to abide by any civil rights laws. They accused the federal government of overstepping its authority. Then when they lost all those legal battles, they started doing really nasty things to black people at the state levels to make them unable to vote or even own property. So the federal government stepped in again and pissed a lot of politicians off. Republicans and democrats really didn't know how to handle the disintegration of the parties.
But after things started to cool down, conservatives went to the republican party, progressives went to the democratic party.
So the KKK was a religious group who sided with the democratic party till the 50's and early 60's. Then when democrats became the progressive party, republicans became home to conservatives and the KKK followed.
Parties aside, if it had not been for progressives? America would have fallen back into a monarchy roll a long time ago. Conservatives just do not like change. They fight every social change in American history by tooth and nail. Civil rights of any kind, equall rights of any kind and gay rights. They just don't like change.
America likes to consider itself the home of the free. But if thats the case? Why has America always been one of the last countries to implement freedoms for people.
Some of you guys need to seriously quit getting your information from youtube and go read a real history book.
