    I was going to vote for Obama before this anyway, but this like the icing on the cake for me.

    This issue affects me personally because I’m bisexual and in a gay relationship. Thank you president Obama. Thank you so much for supporting marriage equality for LGBT couples.

    As an European I’m not that familiar with the US domestic policy, but certainly this was quite a surprise to hear. It’s a very bold move in a two-party system to take this kind of issue to the public discussion when elections are just around the corner. Correct me if I’m wrong, people in the bible belt area won’t take this matter lightly.

    Relating to topic I’ve been a bit surprised as well when there has been so little discussion about sexual orientation when quite a few tend to think liking muscles is — if not gay — gayish or weird nonetheless. There has been some topics scratching the surface but never any deeper conversation, not to mention personal preferences.

    If one likes to put labels on people, I guess I’d fit in the bisexual column, and yes, I’ve been in gay relationship. As I’ve grown older, all the talk about topic has started to bore me, because people tend to react very emotionally to this subject and think too black and white. And then there are the religious values etc.

    Well I got a bit carried on with my off-topic, sorry ’bout that. I guess it’s a bit hypocritical on my part to complain that there haven’t been much discussion, since I could have started a topic any time.

    Don’t worry about it Maitolasi, ironically there have been topics about this discussed years back. I wouldn’t be able to find it, and it’s probably hidden in a thread title that has nothing to do with the topic. But we did discuss at one point bi-sexuals, lesbians, and how typically people who either swing both ways or have an interest in their own gender tend to like the muscles.

    But then it turned out for as many bi’s and lesbians there were just as many straight people who enjoyed muscles as well. It might have been in the topic of “why do you like female muscle” or something like that. It was a very civil discussion.

    Might it have been this? http://amaz0ns.com/forum/Growth-Fetishes/47382-Re-Why-do-women-like-FMG#47386

    too bad it’s all messed up now.

    But anyway, not surprised how it turned out. I think most who have this fetish are straight.

    Edit: btw why in the #¤#% nobydy told me boards like this exist in 2004 or earlier?

    Having a Government seal of approval on a ceremony doesn’t mean a thing really, to me at least. I’ve known “outside the box” couples who had ceremonies mean more for the vows than the blessings of the US, State, or local Government.

    Peace and Love,

    With an officially sanctioned wedding, gay couples can enjoy all the legal protections that come with marriage. Including the right to be present in a hospital room; making medical decisions for each other; sharing in the financial benefits of marriage, etc. It makes a great deal of difference.
