LaBarbera: If you want to just think of how wrong homosexual so-called marriage is just ask yourself: how do two guys consummate their marriage? Yuck.

Mefferd: I’m sure they don’t like that question, Peter.

LaBarbera: Yes, they don’t like it and it’s because it’s absurd. The whole concept is absurd. It’s not marriage. You know one angle that I’m going to be writing about Janet is if you’ve got homosexual so-called marriage legalized you’re going to end up teaching gay sex-ed, there is no way around it.

LaBarbera: I believe it was on NPR in Boston after homosexual so-called marriage was legalized there, or forced by the courts, one I believe it was a teacher who said she was emboldened to talk more frankly about homosexuality in the schools in Massachusetts. Think about it, if a teacher is so-called married, say a guy, a male teacher is married to another man, so-called because of course it’s not really marriage, he gets to talk about that marriage in the classroom just as a normal heterosexual married person could talk about — you know a man could talk about his wife.

These people really are afraid of homosexuality. This speaks volumes about their confidence in ther own sexual orientation. And they dwell lovingly on anal sex without a thought that many heterosexual partners practise it. Indeed, many heterosexual men like to have prostate massage during sex with their wives...now how do they do that?

Protip: gays are not as filthy in their anal sex as the minds of La (feminine article, btw!)Barbera's (almost a woman's name!) and Mefferd's are. The colon can be cleansed, y'know, and gays who practise anal sex know how to do this. Clearly La Barbera and Mefferd don't know how. Clearly they have never had the pleasure of prostatic massage. It's not called man's G spot for nothing.

Hopefully, male teachers do not get away with talking about fucking their wives. If gay teachers are held to the same standards for content as straight teachers, then yes, they can talk about their spouses same as anyone. I can somewhat sympathize with if not support discomfort with 'gay sex ed,' but with people having equal rights to discuss their loved ones...uh. You see the problem? Probably not.

Come to think of it, I never actually got any sex ed...act-specific enough to be exactly gendered, except that as we were a girl's school and condom application was briefly covered via banana, I guess it was definitely not lesbian-exclusive sex ed. I think we learned about other contraceptives, too, but it's a little hazy. Health was taught by literally the stupidest woman in the school, a gym teacher I suspect of head trauma. There may or may not have been some vague reference to the interaction of penis and vagina taking place before fertilization, in the part where we learned how human reproduction functions, but then again that may have been middle-school biology.

Anyone else recall whether sex ed taught them how to physically go about conducting sexual relations? Because if that's not standard practice already, I REALLY doubt it will become standard vis-a-vis the gay community, when the lesbian and gay-male lessons would be useful to maybe 5% of the class each. I seriously doubt that is what sex ed is for anywhere, though.

I bet most newly married couples (regardless of genders involved) have already consummated their relationship long before they got married. It's of no real importance any longer, is it? You can't dissolve or annul a non-consummated marriage nowadays, can you?

In the sex-ed I received in the 70s and 80s, homosexuality was included in the curriculum. It's nice to see that it took the US only thirty years to catch up... Or, if Peter here is full of it; to see that a 11-year-old Swede thirty years ago managed to accept what his adult self can't accept today.

It IS a real marriage; two consenting adults join together to live with each other and share everything, and perhaps have children together.

My husband often talks about his wife, what's so special about that? Some men talk about their husbands instead, no big deal.
