@bachmann4president No one is having "homosexual marriage imposed on them." Do you think you're going to be forced to marry someone of the same sex? Of course considering your user name, I think you'd believe just about anything.
Fictional TV character are just that - fictional. and everything they say is carefully scripted by someone to reflect their bias. To attribute this as though it was thought of and said by a real person and not a fictional character is kind of silly. Now if you want to quote the show's writers...LOL.
@judyannreed Only people quote fictional characters all the time. I mean, thats part of being able to appreciate a play, book or movie. I mean just look at Christians, that ALL they do when quote scripture.
I'm rewatching this in honor of New York legalizing gay marriage tonight. It's a little sad that a fictional TV character is more understanding, accepting, and loving than some people I know today, even 20+ years later.
Now if the argument presented in this clip is that marriage is based on love then any two people in love could get married right? Like a brother and a sister.
@fegu Hell, if a brother and sister are into each other like that, who cares? Pretty much the same thing as any other couple; nobody's business but theirs.

@ironmyshirts If those numbers are true, and let's assume they are, you ever wonder why? Maybe because many didn't have the benefit of a long-term monogamous relationship? We should encourage gays and lesbians to get married. Married people are proven to live longer. Constantly telling homosexuals what bad, disgusting, evil people they are only causes depression and other problems. But maybe that's the goal so people like you will have nasty statistics to throw in their faces.
@Permaglo Also, don't you love when people mention the nasty statistics about HIV in gay men as proof that homosexuality should be banned, but suddenly go quiet or change the subject when you mention the fact that lesbians actually have the lowest rate of stds and HIV, lower then their heterosexual counterparts?
Marriage equality for ALL??? People I have spoken to (who believe in so-called marriage equality for all) do not endorse polygamy (among consenting adults) or brother/sister or mother/son marriage (consenting adults). So much for equality for "ALL"!!!!!
@broyomama But members of those groups you mention can get married to SOMEONE. A polygamist might not be able to have the quantity of spouses he desires, but he can at least have one. Someone is usually not ONLY attracted to family members, so millions of other potential spouses are available. Someone who is gay is restricted from marrying ALL potential partners he could fall in love with.
@Permaglo Actually, there is right now complete equality in marriage. A straight single male can marry any consenting female. So can a gay single male. Total and absolute equality. If a gay single male wants to marry another male, then that is a different topic, and worthy of discussion. But equality in marriage exists right now.
@broyomama I want the right to get married to someone I fall in love with. I'm a gay male, so that's only going to be another man. So if your idea of a marriage is simply a legal contract between 2 members of opposite sexes devoid of any love or commitment, then I guess you're right. However marriage is a lot more than that, and as the law stands right now I am barred from participating in it. Heterosexuals have the right to marry someone they fall in love with. I am refused that right.
@Permaglo You are simply incorrect. Heterosexuals positively cannot marry anyone they fall in love with. For example, if I fell in love with my first cousin, I could not marry her in quite a number of states. There are a myriad of other scenarios. I can only marry a person within the strict confines of the law - and so can you. And, I certainly do not think marriage is a contract devoid of love (not sure where you got that). Anyway, I think I understand your underlying point.
@broyomama I didn't say "anyone," I said "someone." The ONLY way I can currently participate in legal marriage is to marry someone I could never fall in love with or commit to (i.e. a woman). Marrying someone, anyone that I would want is prohibited.
You are simply the most baffling human that ever will or can comment on this video. What in the name in all that is rotten in a lobotomy baboon girl's head are you spouting??? Go take a Human Sexuality class and start using that pink watery thing in your head. You clearly do not understand basic human nature.
@broyomama The same "equality in marriage" argument was used to promote bans on interracial marriage (that everyone had the equal right to marry within the same race). That argument failed in Loving v. Virginia as unconstitutional, and for good reason. Individuals, not groups, have rights - and each person has the right to marry the person they love.
@MaryWaterton You wanna know what God hates more than fags Mary - self-righteous morons like yourself. But you wouldn't know anything about God, would you? If knuckle-dragging neanderthals like you have or get any control over this nation, then yes, it will be doomed.
@MaryWaterton What a very Christ-like statement, so full of love and acceptance, completely non-judgmental. Someone must have done something horrible to you to make you such a hateful and hate-filled person. Do us all a favor and keep your vile bigotry to yourself.
Marriage should be between a man and a woman I think. Marriage is more than just love and commitment; it's also a religious thing so atheists shouldn't be able to marry either lol. Civil unions are ok tho because Their not based on religion.
contd... (3) This means that perfect partnership requires some level of difference as well as a level of similarity so great that Adam could cry out loudly, "This is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh". Sexual intimacy between a man and a woman is the normal method of male/female bonding (emotionally and physically) because it corresponds to the design of our bodies and because it is the normal means by which offspring are created.
@TamilianPonnu I'm assuming there was more to your post. You seem to be saying that heterosexual relationships are the only "normal" ones, which is convenient if you are heterosexual. But let's say for argument that being gay was "normal" and you were straight. Would you A) Spend years futilely fighting your heterosexuality in hopes of becoming homosexual? B) Spend the rest of your life alone and celibate? or C) Realize that "normal" is relative and accept your heterosexuality?
We do not want government in control of marriage. We need to start treating each other as humans. Government free marriage is the pathway to equality. Government should have no control over religion or marriage. Leave marriage to the religions or to the people to freely contract with one another.
This episode was way ahead of its time! Leave it to the Golden Girls, especially Sophia, to put this "hot-button" issue into such clear and unequivocal perspective. Thank you, ladies. This world has been a colder place since your passing!
@NickMB B/c women do-it's that simple. Males and females are the same - if one has one thing, the other has it as well. We all start out as female and the different hormones make us male or female. In puberty, estrogen causes the breast to develop. In the womb, testosterone causes the the labia to fuse to form the scrotum, the ovaries descend and become the testis, the clitoral hood to become the foreskin, and the clitoris to be the penis. We have the same parts, they just developed differently.
Long live the words of Sophia Petrillo. I had almost forgotten about this episode and how progressive, really, "Golden Girls" was on the issue of gay rights long before "Roseanne", "Ellen", and "Will & Grace" ever hit the scene. BRAVO!
I always laugh at how heterosexual cry..."THE SANCTITY OF MARRIAGE!!!" Yet most of them get divorced, remarried...multiple times! What a joke. Two people that love each other should be able to get married, PERIOD.
@PsychLion Well said. Also don't forget about the how the 'sanctity of marriage' is also shown in those quickie 5 minute Vegas chapels. I just can't understand why saying two people (of any gender) shouldn't be able to spend their lives together if they truly love each other is wrong. Love is never wrong.
To every homophobe commenting pointless, hateful shit on here, stfu & go play in traffic. Let us gays fight for what we believe in, we don't really care wether you like it or not.
I love GG and I love the ladies who played them. They were all gay rights supporters, and so ahead of their time.
At a time when Reagan was in office and the height of the HIV panic and the related homophobia, the show was willing to cover issues such as HIV and gay issues.The show (and the ladies in real life) consistently challenged peoples negative feelings regarding these things. Thank you so much Golden Girls. xxx
There's an episode much later than this one, possibly it was a Golden Palace episode instead, I'm not sure. One of Blanche's relations...I don't know, maybe a son...comes to visit her with some kind of problem, I forget what the problem was, but before he can even tell her what's going on she's like "oh you're gay it's fine I understand" lol. And he's like "no, no, that's not it at all, I'm not gay" and she says "oh course you arrrrrre" LOL I assume it was a play on eps like this.

@womanizer0690 i had always heard that the four of them were into gay rights, especially bea arthur. i mean the show had a pretty strong gay fanbase and had many gay guest characters and just talked about gays and lesbians at a time when many were still not open to speaking about, well, openly.
i always loved that episode, the one thing that was real nice about that show was there wasnt any really any homophobea which was nice i cant stand homophobia thanks for uploading i seen this episode recently
Such a funny scene, actually I heard somewhere that the reason why men have nipples. Is because everyone is born as a girl for the first 6 months and then if it's a boy, they start turning into a boy after those 6 months. But that's just what I heard.
Gawds, why do the greatest videos and clips bring about such a cascade of debate and hatred?
This is a great clip, and I'll be referencing the quotes the next time I'm asked about gay marriage and why I'd want to marry the person I love. Yay for the Golden Girls, and thanks for uploading it!
@BelieveIt1051 Monogamy isn't a gay thing...or a straight thing...it is an individualist thing. Blacks cheat, whites cheat women cheat, men cheat...gays cheat....lol. Anybody can cheat.
@BelieveIt1051 What will you do with your time once gays can marry? We are not the ones hurting marriage. Didnt you hear...in MA in the last 5yrs the divorce rate went down to pre WWII levels...after they allowed gay marriage.
It appears that gay marriage IS the defense of marriage!
"And it came to pass, when he [David] had made an end of speaking unto Saul, that the soul of Jonathan was knit with the soul of David, and Jonathan loved him as his own soul . . . And Jonathan and David made a covenant, because he loved him as his own soul."
And immediately afterward, Jonathan disrobed before David.
Only the covenant of marriage has you getting naked after making it!
Wrong. Jonathan disrobed because he was armed, and David had just been accepted into Saul's service. Therefore, David needed a robe, armor, sword, bow, and girdle. So the act of Jonathan giving him his cloths signified acceptance into Saul's service as well as his "family", because Jonathan was Saul's son, and now David was like a son to Saul as well. Getting naked in front of those of the same sex was nothing so long as you weren't homosexual.
The covenant between him and David was that of brothers. They loved each other like brothers would. If you are suggesting that they had some kind of romantic/physical/sexual act going on, then I must say you're a Biblical illiterate. Not only did Saul marry his first born daughter Merab off to David, but both David and Jonathan had their own sons with their own respective wives. When they parted ways they sword to keep God between them, and so it would be so for Jonathan's seed and David's seed.
" . . . they [David and Jonathan] kissed one another, and wept one with another . . . "
Here they are displaying a deep affection for one another, and showing an emotional attachment well beyond what would be shown by two heterosexuals in a similar situation. They actually weep together because of their upcoming forced separation.
That's because they were best friends, and brothers in the Lord. How would you feel if you and your brother were to be separated? And ya know, up until the 1920's men kissed other men as a sign of friendship. Homosexuals ruined that.
And perhaps you aren't reading my posts. David was married to Mirab, Jonathan's sister. Jonathan was also married and had a son. So this homosexual fantasy of yours is just that, your fantasy.
There's nothing wrong with having love for another of the same sex.
Neither one of them got naked. Jonathan took his own armor and weapons off and gave them to David to wear. That does not imply that Jonathan was completely nude, and even if he was, it doesn't mean David lusted after him.
[After Jonathan's death, David said,] "I am distressed for thee, my brother Jonathan: very pleasant hast thou been unto me: thy love to me was wonderful, passing the love of women."
As you can see, they were very much in love. The Bible shows them kissing one another -- not a normal activity for heterosexual men. To make sure you don't miss the sexual aspect, the love is compared (favorably, by the way) with the love of a woman.

@neenerpuss My friend, your command of scripture (to borrow a phrase from To Kill a Mockingbird) is extremely formidable! I LOVE how you refuted that fool's arguments with such panache. :) Great work!
I love making people make stupid comments. It shows those not sure what to think that one side has a rational view and the other side will use what ever pops into their head to scare people and hurt others.
@neenerpuss People like Believe have nothing better to do than involve themselves in other people's lives because they have no life of their own. Nothing you say will ever register with him. It just gives him an excuse to regurgitate his BS. But yeah, people are seeing through that BS and understanding that gay people are no different than straight people.
@Permaglo I know he's a lost cause. I do it show just how irrational the otherside of the argument is. So others will see it for what it is....hate and discrimination.
Excuse me, but I didn't involve myself with your life. You did. You're the one trying to redefine marriage. So if you don't want people like me "in your life" then stop trying to destroy our great country's sacred institutions.
@BelieveIt1051 You have an unhealthy obsession with gays without really even truly knowing any. You use whatever irrational opinions you can find to validate your sick prejudice. If it wasn't marriage equality, you'd be trying to take some other right away.
Heterosexuals are what's destroying marriage, not gays. But that proves that you and your kind could care less about marriage because there's no movement to ban or limit divorce.
Have a nice life. Maybe I'll invite you to my wedding. :)
Like it or not....the definition of Marriage...has already changed. Check any current dictionary. Seems that like many other words Marriage has MULTIPLE meanings. Words like web, coat, nail, chick, mouse, case and light all have more than 1 meaning....marriage NOW includes a same sex coupling! It will not destroy this country...IT WILLSAVE IT!
Believe, your broken record is getting REALLY old. Sooner or later all 50 states will allow gays to get married so deal with it. That won't be hard since your life won't be affected in the least by it.
Your use of the word "deathstyle" sure is clever, just not accurate. There is no one homosexual "lifestyle." Sure there are guys who have unprotected sex with anyone that moves. But many more seek monogamous relationships. Difficult to get a disease when you and your partner are monogamous.
31 states already protect marriage as a 1 man 1 woman union with their constitutions. About 10 more have statutes. You've lost. Marriage will only become more protected, not less. Even if the Supreme Court "overruled" the laws and the legislature did nothing about it, the states would refuse to follow the ruling.
Yeah, that's if they didnt have any STDs going into it, and if they dont cheat on their "spouse". But then there's still the damage that is done by homosexual acts themselves.
@BelieveIt1051 Lost? The fight has only begun, and we will never stop until we have true marriage equality. But I agree that marriage will become more protected, and that will happen when all Americans, gay and straight, can get married.
The states would refuse to follow the ruling? They don't exactly have a choice.
Get a life and stop with your nonsense arguments and opinions.
Sure you'll never stop, but you'll never have your special rights either. Not in America at least. So you can either keep fighting a battle you've lost, or you can admit defeat and move to Canada.
They don't have a choice? And what are the courts going to do about it? Are the judges going to go to each state and hold a gun to the heads of the public registrars? SJC rulings have been disregarded in the past, and for good reason.
@BelieveIt1051 None of them had majority support! If they did they wouldn't have had to have a civil rights movement! Do you not even understand elementary civics?
So you're saying that only a majority is capable of oppressing people? Perhaps you should research what dictatorships, oligarchies, or aristocracies are.
No, they had to have a civil rights movement because a few people in positions of power were denying their rights, especially those with government power.
And that goes for your precious Supreme Court too. See: Dred Scott v Sandford and Plessy v Ferguson.
In Canada? You mean that totalitarian state where the Supreme Court forced same-sex "marriage" on the people by fiat?
As for the U.S., where we actually have freedom, the people get to govern themselves through representatives and through democratic vote. We have decided that marriage should not be redefined.
Also, homosexuals can get married in the same way everyone else can; To the opposite sex.
@BelieveIt1051 Canada is totalitarian? RIght that is why we have like one of the best human rights rankings of any country, much above the U.S (I like the U.S but ya.) Why would a homosexual want to marry a person of the opposite sex. The 14th amendment guarantees equality between all citizens, no different than telling a black and white person they cannot get married.
And who defines the rankings? Totalitarians who use ideas of utopia and feelings of equality as thought control. So I guess the feeling that the court did something good for a group of people trumps the fact that it took away your right to vote. Of course, the destruction of democracy never counts against your human rights ranking, does it? They wouldn't want to marry one of the opposite sex, but in that case they aren't qualified for marriage, which is between 1 man and 1 woman.

contd... (3) This means that perfect partnership requires some level of difference as well as a level of similarity so great that Adam could cry out loudly, "This is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh". Sexual intimacy between a man and a woman is the normal method of male/female bonding (emotionally and physically) because it corresponds to the design of our bodies and because it is the normal means by which offspring are created.

@TamilianPonnu I'm assuming there was more to your post. You seem to be saying that heterosexual relationships are the only "normal" ones, which is convenient if you are heterosexual. But let's say for argument that being gay was "normal" and you were straight. Would you A) Spend years futilely fighting your heterosexuality in hopes of becoming homosexual? B) Spend the rest of your life alone and celibate? or C) Realize that "normal" is relative and accept your heterosexuality?

We do not want government in control of marriage. We need to start treating each other as humans. Government free marriage is the pathway to equality. Government should have no control over religion or marriage. Leave marriage to the religions or to the people to freely contract with one another.

Why DO men have nipples?
NickMB 1 year ago 4
@NickMB B/c women do-it's that simple. Males and females are the same - if one has one thing, the other has it as well. We all start out as female and the different hormones make us male or female. In puberty, estrogen causes the breast to develop. In the womb, testosterone causes the the labia to fuse to form the scrotum, the ovaries descend and become the testis, the clitoral hood to become the foreskin, and the clitoris to be the penis. We have the same parts, they just developed differently.

@PsychLion Well said. Also don't forget about the how the 'sanctity of marriage' is also shown in those quickie 5 minute Vegas chapels. I just can't understand why saying two people (of any gender) shouldn't be able to spend their lives together if they truly love each other is wrong. Love is never wrong.

1 Samuel 18:1,3
"And it came to pass, when he [David] had made an end of speaking unto Saul, that the soul of Jonathan was knit with the soul of David, and Jonathan loved him as his own soul . . . And Jonathan and David made a covenant, because he loved him as his own soul."
And immediately afterward, Jonathan disrobed before David.
Only the covenant of marriage has you getting naked after making it!
neenerpuss 1 year ago
Wrong. Jonathan disrobed because he was armed, and David had just been accepted into Saul's service. Therefore, David needed a robe, armor, sword, bow, and girdle. So the act of Jonathan giving him his cloths signified acceptance into Saul's service as well as his "family", because Jonathan was Saul's son, and now David was like a son to Saul as well. Getting naked in front of those of the same sex was nothing so long as you weren't homosexual.
BelieveIt1051 1 year ago
The covenant between him and David was that of brothers. They loved each other like brothers would. If you are suggesting that they had some kind of romantic/physical/sexual act going on, then I must say you're a Biblical illiterate. Not only did Saul marry his first born daughter Merab off to David, but both David and Jonathan had their own sons with their own respective wives. When they parted ways they sword to keep God between them, and so it would be so for Jonathan's seed and David's seed.
BelieveIt1051 1 year ago
@BelieveIt1051 1 Samuel 18:4
"Jonathan divested himself of the mantle he was wearing and gave it to David, along with his military dress, and his sword, his bow and his belt.
Jonathan was not only disrobing, but was turning the symbols of his manhood over to David. This draws a very clear picture of what is happening here.

@BelieveIt1051 1 Samuel 20:41
" . . . they [David and Jonathan] kissed one another, and wept one with another . . . "
Here they are displaying a deep affection for one another, and showing an emotional attachment well beyond what would be shown by two heterosexuals in a similar situation. They actually weep together because of their upcoming forced separation.
neenerpuss 1 year ago
That's because they were best friends, and brothers in the Lord. How would you feel if you and your brother were to be separated? And ya know, up until the 1920's men kissed other men as a sign of friendship. Homosexuals ruined that.
And perhaps you aren't reading my posts. David was married to Mirab, Jonathan's sister. Jonathan was also married and had a son. So this homosexual fantasy of yours is just that, your fantasy.
There's nothing wrong with having love for another of the same sex.

Neither one of them got naked. Jonathan took his own armor and weapons off and gave them to David to wear. That does not imply that Jonathan was completely nude, and even if he was, it doesn't mean David lusted after him.

[After Jonathan's death, David said,] "I am distressed for thee, my brother Jonathan: very pleasant hast thou been unto me: thy love to me was wonderful, passing the love of women."
As you can see, they were very much in love. The Bible shows them kissing one another -- not a normal activity for heterosexual men. To make sure you don't miss the sexual aspect, the love is compared (favorably, by the way) with the love of a woman.

@BelieveIt1051 You have an unhealthy obsession with gays without really even truly knowing any. You use whatever irrational opinions you can find to validate your sick prejudice. If it wasn't marriage equality, you'd be trying to take some other right away.
Heterosexuals are what's destroying marriage, not gays. But that proves that you and your kind could care less about marriage because there's no movement to ban or limit divorce.
Have a nice life. Maybe I'll invite you to my wedding. :)

Believe, your broken record is getting REALLY old. Sooner or later all 50 states will allow gays to get married so deal with it. That won't be hard since your life won't be affected in the least by it.
Your use of the word "deathstyle" sure is clever, just not accurate. There is no one homosexual "lifestyle." Sure there are guys who have unprotected sex with anyone that moves. But many more seek monogamous relationships. Difficult to get a disease when you and your partner are monogamous.
Permaglo 1 year ago 2
31 states already protect marriage as a 1 man 1 woman union with their constitutions. About 10 more have statutes. You've lost. Marriage will only become more protected, not less. Even if the Supreme Court "overruled" the laws and the legislature did nothing about it, the states would refuse to follow the ruling.
Yeah, that's if they didnt have any STDs going into it, and if they dont cheat on their "spouse". But then there's still the damage that is done by homosexual acts themselves.
BelieveIt1051 1 year ago
@BelieveIt1051 Lost? The fight has only begun, and we will never stop until we have true marriage equality. But I agree that marriage will become more protected, and that will happen when all Americans, gay and straight, can get married.
The states would refuse to follow the ruling? They don't exactly have a choice.

As for the U.S., where we actually have freedom, the people get to govern themselves through representatives and through democratic vote. We have decided that marriage should not be redefined.
Also, homosexuals can get married in the same way everyone else can; To the opposite sex.
BelieveIt1051 1 year ago
@BelieveIt1051 Canada is totalitarian? RIght that is why we have like one of the best human rights rankings of any country, much above the U.S (I like the U.S but ya.) Why would a homosexual want to marry a person of the opposite sex. The 14th amendment guarantees equality between all citizens, no different than telling a black and white person they cannot get married.
BlondePrincess2011 1 year ago
And who defines the rankings? Totalitarians who use ideas of utopia and feelings of equality as thought control. So I guess the feeling that the court did something good for a group of people trumps the fact that it took away your right to vote. Of course, the destruction of democracy never counts against your human rights ranking, does it? They wouldn't want to marry one of the opposite sex, but in that case they aren't qualified for marriage, which is between 1 man and 1 woman.
