Straight men and women should marry each other to support Gay Marriage!
Imagine thousands lined up around City Hall....I am Hetro and I strongly support Gay Marriage. I'd get married to another man as a symbolic measure to help with the cause.

Again...Imagine thousands!

2. would that help?

I mean wouldnt it kind of belittle the significance of the marriage if people did it without intending to be committed to the person they were married to or for just legal reasons or to help them get a visa, oh wait that is all in hetero marriage now. nevermind.

4. Even better
Straight couples marrying ALONGSIDE gay couples in collective ceremonies.

Heck, I wish I wasn't married already so I could do that!

5. guess my NEVER GET MARRIED stance isn't workin' to any advantage....

7. Let's Hope That The California Supreme Court...
rules tomorrow that San Francisco is OK to continue issuing marriage licenses and that gay marriage is OK. Could you imagine the tidal wave that COULD begin? Chicago, Austin, Philadelphia, New York...It could be the crack in the dam.
