Love isn't all about procreation. God knows there's enough damned humans on this planet as it is! Plenty of kids in orphanages, too.
I'm straight (and male), but I support the idea that people can love who they want to, regardless of gender.
And, roughly 10% of the population is homosexual... so I doubt making babies should be of any concern any time soon. #weddings

Let people decide who they enter into contract with, and let churches/cruise lines/whatever decide who they will do ceremonies for. But that would allow people to actually, y'know... let everyone be free over they're own bodies and establishments. #weddings

Yes two women got married, but the titles don't say awesome strait gamer wedding or anything of the like when its a man and a women.
By calling out on the sexuality in the post i think it brought some not so great attention from some troll types. #weddings

@liammiller18 : yes, they get paid by hit -- and AJ has a history of insulting posts to drive up the hit count. #weddings

Grow a spine and watch the ad-homiem attacks. #weddings

And read the damn FAQ before writing please.
5.Can I be banned from commenting?
Yes, if your comments are excessively self-promotional, obnoxious, or even worse, boring. There will be no warning, and no appeal. #weddings

That said, your lack of humor flatters me a little. Or maybe I am confusing the word flatter with humor?
Your ad-hominem to the OP also violates Number 5, by the way. Teapot calling the kettle. My advice: Don't get your panties in a bunch.
Now, be a good poster and try to think of something more intelligent to say. C'mon now. You can do it. I believe that you can (hopefully). #weddings

Actually, what most posters here have forgotten is that it doesn't matter to me what people think of my tone when I post anything. There were a hint within that last paragraph that I'd have thought maybe you'd have gotten (but seemingly failed), in that there are ways to quibble on here that do not violate the terms of service.Is it condescending? Maybe some can construe it as that, but others might interpret it as encouraging babysteps.
It's for the reader to decide, yet ultimately from an objective point, it does not show clear and concise text in being obnoxious, since it holds enough reasonable doubt.Not everything witty need to fall off the scope of the TOS/FAQ.
Now do you understand? Think of it as a means of example, if you will.
EDIT: Back to what I mean on "I don't care" -- The classic version of me on here (when I earned my first three Gawker stars) were a bit more cynical, a lot less unforgiving and very very politically incorrect. Finishing out "Free Expression Month", I figured I'd exercise this for at least till the end of the month, in all of it's proper abrasiveness. No one need understand it. It's fine if no one does. But it is my thing, and I'm sticking with it.#weddings

And besides, it's not like we don't hear or make the same jokes in person. At least at some point of our lives, anyhow. #weddings

*spoiler? *
"Revolutionary Girl Utena-themed wedding"? Now correct me if i am wroung here, I only saw the movie like 4 months ago.
But isnt REV girl utena the one where the one gay guy goes to an all girls school to fight the one other guy who happens to be there because of a past old gay tension between the 2 and accidently envolves another girl who becomes this like masked hero but then becomes a lesbian of the rose, but then her Gf has some freaked out dream and some how enters the lesbian hero and rides down an elevator located somewhere in her body, but then something happens and the 2 embrace each other in a garden of roses and the movie is about to end and BAM a car washing machine shoots out and takes the lesbian masked hero and transforms her into a car and then they drive off this long windey rode and fight robot cars and motorcycles and then the castle becomes a giant rolling fortress but then the bike brakes and its the end and the 2 naked lesbian chicks drive off into the sunset ontop of 2 wheels and some pipes?
THATTTTTT "Revolutionary Girl Utena" !?!?!?!
HOW IN THE HECK DO YOU THEME A WEDDING AFTER THAT perfect definition of a RANDOM Japanese animation? #weddings
10/27/09
You just watched the movie....try the series.
Utena isn't impossible to understand...you just have to pay attention. #weddings
10/27/09
Does that explain it? And, Utena is a girl, not a guy. #weddings
10/27/09
Explain things? Hell no, it's just after watching the Movie, everything beforehand will make perfect sense. #weddings

Best of luck to them! #weddings
10/27/09
Because, that's pretty important, you can't just TAKE the Rose Bride...you're screwing with tradition here.
Nevertheless, that's super sweet and romantic, congrats you two! #weddings

Wow, another lesbian gamer on Kotaku! Now I think there are like three of us.
Also, is that a Scott Pilgrim avatar? Totally awesome. #weddings

Heh, it was sort of a guesstimate. I'd say that I "lowballed" the figure, but that sounds sort of...wrong in this context, don't you think? #weddings

Apparently we've turned this thread into Kotaku Lesbian Census 2009. ;)
Cue trolls in 3...2...1...
(and @ADM86, don't worry. we're used to it by now.) #weddings

Fans of Utena will know what I mean, ponder on it, and declare it awesome. #weddings

Where the few girls that have a genuine interest in it are either a lesbian, or are deterred because they have the perception that only lesbians do it.
Its the same reason why not as many guys go into fashion design, or hair styling. As tolerant as people can be, no one wants to be in an area where they are forced into an environment where they are misinterpreted.
Yeah, this one example isn't going to hurt the world's perception of girls that play games, but it sure isn't helping....
10/27/09
Wait...wait, am I reading this...correctly? Are you saying that girls that play games are Lesbians? Please tell me that this is NOT what you are saying.
I just...wow....I don't know if that's sad or adorable....I think it's a little of both.
I don't know if I should Burn Knuckle you about this...so I'm going to ask you again.
Are. You. Serious? #weddings
10/27/09
Seriously - I hope it's an elaborate joke that just fell flat, but if it's serious, it's a really weird assertion. You think girls are going to be put off gaming because playing games makes people think they're lesbians? Not mentioning that the average non-gamer girl on the street isn't going to be reading Kotaku and/or other, similar outlets, and thus likely isn't going to see the story in order to somehow be put off gaming, it's hardly the normal image - I think I can safely say that these are the first two lesbian gamers I've heard of, with a third declaring themselves in the comments thread, and I've heard of and met plenty of girls who play video games. (Hell, my girlfriend's a bigger gamer than I am, really, and has been all her life.)
On one hand, we're living in an era where increasing numbers from non-traditional gamer demographics are picking up DSes and Wiis and WoW subscriptions - not all of them are gay! On the other hand, recent surveys have concluded that nearly 100% of gay people breathe air and drink water! #weddings

LOL! I didn't want to promote him but I had to say something...the comment just REEKED of this could be a child or something. It seemed so....immature, like Jonas Brothers or Nick immature.
Now I'll admit, I've fondled and kissed a fair share of the wimmens....but I'm positive that I'm straight, I could NEVER defect. Not that there's a problem with being gay, I just know I anit.
Are there girls that game that are lesbians? Yes, I know several. Are all girls that game ARE lesbians? No.
That being said, to say that lesbians will detract women to videos game or girls that game ARE lesbians is hilarious...I'm not even mad or offended.
To attack this guy...it's like kicking a puppy, it's a easy kill. If you want to respond to him, be gentle and use small words. You might frighten him away.
He's like a deer... #weddings

I'd also say that slight differential would in no way rise to the level that anyone who automatically prejudged a woman to be a lesbian just BECAUSE she is a gamer, should not be viewed as a stereotyping moron. #weddings
10/27/09
Either way it doesn't matter if their lesbian or not, they had an awesome Gamer wedding so that should be enough to dub it Awesome.
I'm also surprised no one has said this yet but, THE CAKE IS A LIE! #weddings
10/27/09
He only has us 4...so his attention kinda failed. It would be different if there was like...15 people on this thread.
He was late in the game... #weddings

See the trick is....what Society is he talking about? Because I've NEVER heard Lesbian=gamers before...EVER.
I've heard of tomboys only play video games, I've heard of hot girls DON'T games for realy...I've never heard of the gay correlation before.
Unless he has the finger to the beat of Society....then this statement and his assumption is strictly coming from his ass.
I only asked if he was being serious.
So no, my emotions are fine, my logic is sound. #weddings
10/27/09
Im talking about hardcore in the sense that your wedding cake is a companion cube, not "ohh Ive played peggle before". #weddings
