Absolutely right. Any bride will be second only to a new first time mother, in always talking of her happiness.

All I know is when someone at my workplace is getting married that is ALL we hear from them. - Maybe because getting married is an exciting and wonderful thing. - The fact that the marriage taking place was a same gendered marriage doesn’t change that. If the woman had been another minority (say she was black and marrying a white man) would anyone be rushing to defend this clod for saying interracial marriage offends his Christian sensibilities?

Thinking that makes you feel better doesnt it?

Just like defining marriage as something that can only happen between two people of the same race wasn’t oppression either

Origin, meaning, morality and then destiny!
Good, evil, and moral law?
-- Legal law: The only 'good' legal law is a fair one; only 'evil' one is an unfair one. Only 'moral' legal law is one that does not restrict rights of any one group.

As for origin: this has what to do with legal law vs. marriage rights?

...you have to be careful discussing those kinds of topics at work unless you have a real comfort level with your co-workers. I have a group of friends that I've worked with for 5 years and we can all discuss sensitive topics together, but if it was someone I didn't know, I would hesitate to bring those types of things up until I was 100% sure the weren't the "run and tell HR" type.

Let's see, my coworker is getting married soon, day after day I hear about the plans, the future spouse, the engagement party, the bridal shower, the honeymoon plans, how they met, she manages to fit it into EVERY discussion. She's marrying a man, so I guess it's okay for her to endlessly talk about her marriage. I think it's very distasteful that they are getting married in a church when she has made it clear she doesn't really believe in God but she can't imagine having a ceremony with the "whole Catholic ta-da" (her words) I opt not to comment on how wrong I think she is, and when I don't want to hear her anymore I just go somewhere else or change the topic.

It's strange how we're supposed to accept all the flaunting of opposite sex coupledom but since same sex marriage makes people uncomfortable we have to view anyone discussing their own relationship as "controversial" if it's a "same sex" couple.

The guy said the woman knew how he felt about homosexuality. That means as a new employee he had already brought up the topic he felt was controversial himself. Without any termination documentation it's hard to know what really happened but if he expected her to be silent about her marriage while he was free to express how he felt about same sex marriage seems like he expected to be free to say what he wanted while she was supposed to pretend she didn't have a female spouse to avoid upsetting him.

While I may disagree with him and his stance, I think it's in his right to say it, however nobody ever said that there wouldn't be consequences. If I chose to walk up to a cop and say hey piggy, get your fix at the donut shop? Yeah thats my right but it's also his right to hit me in the gut with a nightstick til I am sleepy.

Every action has a reaction, even if you cry freedom after saying it.
