More trouble from you Georgia people...

Weird.

 

That was on the news here a few weeks ago..

My feelings are, it's a private club, so they can do whatever they want to do.

 

Hey if the Hetero's who aren't married dont get the benefits why should being gay be any different?

If anyone is being discriminated against it has to be UNMARRIED people!

As a former member of this highly discriminated against group (the UNMARRIED one I mean) all I can say is GET THEE LEGALLY MARRIED!

Then watch how many "benefits" are bestowed upon thee!

 

Correct yourself sir. This issue is in the city of Atlanta, not the state of Georgia.

I can assure you 90% of those living outside of the city limits of Atlanta never cross that line unless absolutely required.

 

Re: Re: More trouble from you Georgia people...

Well, that explains everything.

Sorry.

 

ain't this the truth, why does a "lifestyle choice" give 'em the right to this kind o crap

 

In the past haven't these issues usually centred around not letting certain people join?

I don't think because a club is private it should be exempt from following the law, but the article didn't mention anything i can see as discriminating against gays.

 

give this an inch.........and wait for the mile

 

Well I didn't think a city can legally decide who is a couple. But i don't really know much it.

 

Does the city issue marriage licenses to gay couples? If they don't, I am not sure how they can argue along those lines.

Either way, I agree that if it's a private club they should be able to do what they want. If you know the rules before you join and later decide they don't like them, you should be kicked out with no refunds.

 

THANK YOU PAPA THIAM

YamaRick, what line is that? Civilization? Human Rights? The Dentist?

Judging by what I've seen Outside The Perimeter, I see what you mean.

To the other assclown that said 'lifestyle choice'... News flash! They are born that way... They same way that different ethnic groups are born with certain phenotypes.

The good news in your case is that even though you were born and raised ignorant and intolerant, you may actually be able to be educated by getting to know some gay people, and quite possibly even realize that if it was a choice, no one in their right mind would chose to deal with the BS those guys and gals have to put up with from ppl such as yourselves, all because they are being who they really are...

"I think I'll turn Gay today! It'll be great fun!" - doesn't happen.

So, unless you were born stupid too, try getting to know some of the ppl you are denying rights too. And maybe, just maybe you'll see that it isn't a "Gay ON/Gay OFF" switch. They are gay ALL the time. While you are at it, speak with their families, they will also confirm that even when looking back to the time their gay kid, brother, or sister was growing up, the straight family member didn't know what 'gay' was, but in hindsight the gay relative was always 'different', always gay, from the 'get go'...

 

It isn't the clubs issue. In Georgia same-sex marriages aren't recognized there was a big thing about people voting on it on TV. Gay people can't be married so if the club doesn't give unmarried straight people these priveleges then those stupid homos need to take it to court!

 

It ultimately forces it into the courts, that is probably why they are persuing it.

I personally believe that private clubs can do whatever they want, as long as it is within the law... Would I want to join a club of intolerant ppl? No.

But some of 'dem gay boys really likes da golf, so maybe it's really importent to them...

 

I Loooooooooooove golf, because I get to play with all those balls and looooong clubs. Plus, I get to go back to the clubhouse and take showers with all those rich daddy types.

 

You Are One SICK Marine. What makes you think those fine old upstanding citizens/Pillars of the Community/Fine Role Models are Daddy types? They might be rubber pants types...
