Word: DJ Angus & Jules Clarke

DS: What are your feelings on the sanctity of marriage. Should we even bother with marriage?
FAG: Two friends of mine are not married but they have been together for a long, long time. They adopted a son. The family pet got hit by a car and one of the daddies and son went to the vet, came home and started crying. The other daddy comforted them, called the vet and see if their pet survived and was told the information cannot be released to anyone but a spouse or direct family member of the person who signed the form in the first place. In short, for me, marriage exists for practical reasons. Should we still bother? Yes. It’s a god given right and that’s why it is sacred.Hmm I guess I was mostly nursing my hangover. Oops!

FAG HAG: There is a shift in public opinion here and historically, the origin and nature of marriage are not always generally understood, but I believe that any relationship, whether married or not, is the union of two minds and souls. Despite the restraints imposed by the church and the original scribings in the Bible however, I believe no one should or even try to separate such beautiful unions – whether gay or straight. What determines the erroneous nature of marriage anyway? If we are to impose such belief systems, then surely we must also extend this to the non-virgins who marry; to the cheaters or perpetrators or to those who marry for convenience purposes only.

DS: Same sex marriages are accepted in other countries. A British citizen/passport holder can get married in Vietnam at the British Embassy as ordained by the Vietnamese Authorities, yet same sex marriage is not accepted for Vietnamese themselves. On a better note the apex court in Nepal gave it’s consent to same sex marriages in Nepal to attract the Pink dollar but this applies for all their citizens also. Your thoughts please…?
FAG: Eventually everyone will be able to get ‘gay married’, no matter what nationality you are and which country do you live in. This is a slow but natural process in the making. In 20 years, I bet nobody will remember that same sex marriages were not recognised. Guys and girls, just be patient. And believe.

FAG HAG: I’m not quite sure I would use the term “ordained” as such, due to the fact that local authorities really have no legal right to define what the embassies can or cannot do (according to British law). For diplomatic purposes however, UK law does state that civil unions should only be conducted after there is “no objection” from local authorities. In regards to Nepal, I think their move to legalize same-sex marriage and then capitalize on it is an intelligent one. Nepal’s only out-gay MP (and owner of travel company Pink Mountain) Sunil Babu Pant will provide wedding ceremonies at Everest’s base camp, which according to Pant, could substantially boost the country’s fragile economy. As one of the world’s most poorest countries, this is definitely a move in the right direction and if it means improving the quality of life for its local people, then I say go for it and milk it for all it’s worth.

DS: In this months Pussytalk column our lovely Les Peches duo bring up the subject of gay men’s obsession with women’s breasts and how it is rather out of order for gay men to think that it’s ok to grab a woman’s breast because they are gay… So My Breasty and breastless friends… what say you?
FAG: Jerry Seinfeld once said, “Looking at cleavage is like looking at the sun. You don’t stare at it, it’s too risky.” I guess Jerry was right. Breasts are beautiful, without a doubt. I love breasts, they give women a nice shape and curves allowing them to look great in a tube top, in sweetheart neckline, in sport bras and in Victoria’s Secret lingerie. However my love for breasts stops there. I have no desire to touch them, so I don’t understand what’s the big deal is. And if anything, girls, you have been using your rack to get free drinks from all the straight guys since bars were invented! So, when your gay buddies want to have a squeeze, be generous!

FAG HAG: Truth: I admit that I like to be admired, to be thought of as beautiful and witty, intelligent, talented, cool (the list is endless)… but gay or not, don’t be coming anywhere near my boobies unless I give you permission. In agreement with Pussytalk, how would you feel if I grabbed your goods and then smiled and said “it’s okay, I’m straight, you’re gay, never the twain shall meet.” I don’t think so… As for gay men’s obsession with our goods, why wouldn’t they be? All women are beautiful and in our purest form, we’re absolutely magnificent.
