It's too bad you can't just time travel back to the dark ages.

I would lose my head if I was in such a situation.
It is about the only place you can go where gay marriage isn't legal or likely to become legal soon.

Then maybe I'll go to Israel. At least they're not collapsing from the inside. like the U.S..

Are you kidding me? I didn't know that. Can you elaborate?

Israel won't marry anyone but orthodox Jews. But they will recognize a legal marriage from anywhere.
Even liberal Jews in Israel go to other countries to get married.
Oy Vey!

Yeah see you!
There is probably some truth in that but isn't part of the reason that a line would still exist, even if only in wording? Ultimately that line is the issue.

That's not entirely true. Muslims, Christians, Druze.....s(?), etc can all marry. Just according to their respective Religious Traditions.
Atheists/Agnostics/those who don't belong to any Religious Community can marry civilly. Which is the only occasion when Israel actually marries someone. Otherwise its always handled by the Religion in question.
But its true that if you want to marry your non-Jewish/Muslim/Christian/Druze/etc honeybunny you can do so in (for example) Cyprus, fly/sail back and get it accepted by Israel.
Again, shamefully, I raise the hand of Australia.
Perhaps we can become the world's dumping ground for those unable to function in a society supporting marriage equality?
Gee, that would be SUPER awesome. *sighs*
Of course, we have a conservative in charge who is against marriage equality despite his sister being a lesbian. And just to make things fair, in a negative sense, our last prime minister was an atheist who sat next to one of her most senior ministers (who was a lesbian) explaining to the camera why marriage equality was unimportant.
Heck, it might be a revenue source for us. We'll take one member of the dissenting folk for every $100000 you invest into our national futures fund.
Here is a quote from our Prime Minister on immigration;
I mean, that's gotta be appealing, right? So, come one, come all, $100k at the door.
*sighs and wonders what the hell is going on*

Does MTV even have news? I haven't watched it in years, not since they went all reality TV and hard rock and heavy metal videos became exceedingly scarce.
Funny that you're asking me if I get news from MTV-a false conclusion-and you haven't even offered a link to support your claims or refute mine that no one is coming after your priests/pastors/whatever.
Why is it bad? How does it affect you such that it is bad? I don't like the word bad but I am using it as you have here. Please explain, exactly if you can, what the concept of gay marriage would do to affect you in such a 'bad' manner?
