This joke thread isn't very funny

That's weird. Usually threads that have winoman posts are funny.

Either producing films as he claims, or raping a wine bottle, who knows.

Top 10 Reasons Why Gay Marriage is Wrong:

01) Being gay is not natural. Real Americans always reject unnatural things like eyeglasses, polyester, and air conditioning.

02) Gay marriage will encourage people to be gay, in the same way that hanging around tall people will make you tall.

03) Legalizing gay marriage will open the door to all kinds of crazy behavior. People may even wish to marry their pets because a dog has legal standing and can sign a marriage contract.

04) Straight marriage has been around a long time and hasn't changed at all; women are still property, blacks still can't marry whites, and divorce is still illegal.

05) Straight marriage will be less meaningful if gay marriage were allowed; the sanctity of Britney Spears' 55-hour just-for-fun marriage would be destroyed.

06) Straight marriages are valid because they produce children. Gay couples, infertile couples, and old people shouldn't be allowed to marry because our orphanages aren't full yet, and the world needs more children.

07) Obviously gay parents will raise gay children, since straight parents only raise straight children.

08) Gay marriage is not supported by religion. In a theocracy like ours, the values of one religion are imposed on the entire country. That's why we have only one religion in America.

09) Children can never succeed without a male and a female role model at home. That's why we as a society expressly forbid single parents to raise children.

10) Gay marriage will change the foundation of society; we could never adapt to new social norms. Just like we haven't adapted to cars, the service-sector economy, or longer life spans.

1) Being strait is trite and unnatural, and americans hate all ideas that aren't novel in nature: like marrying someone of the opposite sex (boring!).

2) Gay couples never break up, because its hard enough to find somone so they just stick it out (no pun intended).

3) Explaining a divorce or a death of a parent to your child is much harder than explaing homosexuality.

4) Only christians frown upon homosexuality, other religions are just fine with it. Down with Christianity. Ans ince George Bush is a Chrsitian we should hate all Americans.

5) My chimpanzee can sign his name on a wedding contract, so he should be allowed to get married to a litterate gay person. Because they both can sign their names you see.

wow, this sarcasm business is really hard

in conclusion....

I hate generalizations. Therefore, I hate all people who generalize.

Anyone know the eptimology?

What if it was the word...oh i don't know ....anal (maticulous).

The use of the term gay, as it relates to homosexuality, is documented as early as the 1920s. Its original meaning was 'happy and carefree', and until the early 20th century a middle-aged bachelor could be described as "gay" without prejudice.

However in 1934 the term was still unknown by the general public, as evidenced by the title of the The Gay Divorcee, a musical film about a heterosexual couple. It was originally to be called The Gay Divorce after the play on which it was based, but the Hays Office determined that while a divorcee may be gay, it would be unseemly to allow a divorce to appear so.

Bringing Up Baby (1938) was the first film to use the word gay in reference to homosexuality. In a scene where Cary Grant's clothes have been sent to the cleaners, he must wear a lady's feathery robe. When another character inquires about his clothes, he responds "Because I just went gay...all of a sudden!"

In the 1960s, gay became the term predominantly preferred by homosexual men to describe themselves. Gay was the preferred term since homosexual was the name used by the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) to denote men affected by the "mental illness" of same-sex attraction. The illness of homosexuality was removed from the DSM in 1973, but the clinical connotation of the word was already embedded in society.
