I didn't know that. So I take it you watch a lot of gay porn to know that?
Why say homophobic jokes when ssm has just been voted for! Very very intolerant of you.

And excuseee meeeeee but you're the guy fighting for gay things that's more relevant for yourself. You have a schizophrenic approach with your insults/jokes lol

How is it homophobic?

You're the one who has a problem with it, Not me.

If someone said the same thing to me, I wouldn't care.

Because you're saying it in a way to insult someone whilst also saying you're not gay. You love gay culture so to use gay porn as a joke is insensitive and ignorant of you.

I'm actually making fun of your short comings. It's been established that gay people are born pre-disposed that way, hence why should I fear or be offended unless I'm homophobic?

Which is why you should never ever use it as a tool for a joke, as it will offend people who are born with the gay gene. A tolerant gay accepter will not use gay porn as a insulting joke as he realises how ignorant it is. Even if the person targeted is a homophobe, the joker being a pro gayer person should be smart enough to not use it as a insulting joke. Ignorance is bliss

You have no clue, you can't read or maybe dyslexic..

Read my post again, maybe s...l...o...w....e..r. this time.

It clearly says pull your head out of your ass and the vibrator from your ass too while you're at it...
Nope. Pull the head out of the vibrator. Guessing English isn't one of your strengths, sweetheart.

How do I pull my head out of a vibrator?

You obviously have no clue Champ. It's all good. I'm not upset that you have no clue.

Let's take a count. Religious people here, how often do I attack religion?

@TANK 2.0 @Realist90

Actually, I think Realist90 is still banned from here.
You have always been respectful. When you crack jokes they are just funny and non offensive.

In a funny piece of timing, American Dad tonight on Fox8 has the episode where Steve and Hayley join a roller derby team and Steve thinks he is a lesbian trapped in a boy's body...

Rush On School Dresses For Boys Following Marriage Equality Verdict
By The Shovel on November 15, 2017

Parents around Australia have rushed to department stores and uniform shops to snap up dresses for their sons, following the ‘yes’ vote on marriage equality.

Mothers and fathers said they were keen to have the correct uniform for their sons, which will soon include a dress, and possibly a bra for older boys. Retailers said they were struggling to keep up with demand.

“School says same sex marriage will mean big changes in the classroom,” Lindy Wilson from Brisbane said. “So I just wanted to ensure my son Hugo was appropriately dressed for term one”.

She said she bought him a range of other items too, to ensure compliance with the new regime. “I’ve bought him a dildo and a gimp costume too, just so he can get ahead on the core year three curriculum for next year”.

One of my favourite lines from a movie that I use any chance I get. Billy Baldwin in Biodome. When he walks out of the bushes the woman says "where did you come from?", and he says "my mother and the authorities are still trying to figure that out"

The sanctity of marriage:

Lawyer offers to help distraught No voting couple to divorce
NICK and Sarah Jensen promised to divorce if Australia voted Yes to same-sex marriage. Well, that just happened.

The Jensen’s made a nationwide stir when, in 2015, they pledged to dissolve their marriage, despite being very much in love, if gay couples were also allowed to wed.

“My wife and I just celebrated our 10th wedding anniversary but later this year we may be getting a divorce,” Mr Jensen wrote in Canberra City News.

“My wife and I, as a matter of conscience, refuse to recognise the government’s regulation of marriage if its definition includes the solemnisation of same sex couples.”

Despite his decision to divorce, Mr Jensen said it wouldn’t be the traditional break up.

“After our divorce, we’ll continue to live together, hopefully for another 50 years. And, God willing, we’ll have more children. We’ll also continue to refer to each other as ‘husband’ and ‘wife’ and consider ourselves married by the Church and before God.”


Now, with same-sex marriages possibly just weeks away, many are wondering if the Jensen’s are still determined to go de facto.

Mr Tiyce said he was only too happy to step into the breach in a complex case and assist the couple in their darkest hour. He noted “Jesus hated divorce, remember,” but wanted to help the deeply religious couple anyway.

“I see it as a call for help, hence my offer.

“My firm does quite a bit of pro bono work in family law each year in the gay, lesbian and trans community. I thought offering assistance to Nick and Sarah would be an excellent way of reaching out across communities with my family law expertise, because quite simply they are going to need it.”

Given divorce is only acceptable under certain conditions, the Jensen’s decoupling is going to be a challenge, said Mr Tiyce.

“The Family Law Act [states] the only ground for divorce is that the marriage has broken down irretrievably. That means that there is no reasonable chance that the parties will resume their marital relationship.”

He also said a couple need to be separated for a continuous period of 12 months before filing for divorce.

“As I understand the position taken by Nick and Sarah, they intend to divorce, but still remain together and have more children. That makes things a bit tricky as they will be unable to establish the consortium vitae has ended.

“Continuing to present as husband and wife to the world would, in my opinion, make it impossible for them to establish that their relationship was at an end.

“This is a situation known as ‘wedlock’ which is mostly experienced currently by gay couples who married overseas but cannot always divorce upon separation in Australia because their marriage post 2004 is not recognised here.

“I understand that may be even more uncomfortable for Nick and Sarah hence my offer to help them out of the institution they support keeping closed to gays,” he said.

“The application may be doomed to failure but it is worth giving it a burl.”

In the wake of the gay marriage vote, the Jensen’s are keeping their powder dry on the future of their relationship.

Mr Jensen declined to tell news.com.au how, or indeed if, the divorce plans were progressing. But talking to the Mail Online earlier this week he said “we just need to see the legislation and if it all goes that way.”

“Then we know what situation we’re in and what we’re going to do.”

Following Mr Jensen’s public divorce announcement, 100,000 people signed up to attend a Facebook event called ‘Celebrating Nick and Sarah Jensen’s divorce’.

Following the City News article, Mr Jensen penned a piece for the Bible Society answering some of the questions he’d received over his odd divorce announcement.

To those who asked if divorce was a sin, Mr Jensen said the couple didn’t consider disbanding their “state marriage” a sin as they would still consider themselves wed “under God.”

He admitted he and his wife had not met the 12-month separation rule to apply for a divorces but said they meant an easier way to split was needed.

“This is a minor problem, however, if a simple ‘annulment’ option was available in any legislation for conscientious objectors such as ourselves. If this wasn’t available then perhaps a larger legal challenge could be made,” he said.

“Some have painted our act as simply a petty tantrum, a toddler’s reaction who doesn’t want to share and will simply take his toys home if he can’t win,” he said.

But Mr Jensen denied he was a sore loser on the issue of marriage.

“This decision is not due to any dislike of any people, same sex attracted or not, but simply around how we understand marriage as defined by God.”

It appears to me they are divorcing in the civil sense, but not before the Church. They want to remain married in front of God, but not the Government.
