    Agreed. I don't like stories with female characters. It really does kill a hardon.

    The pharmacists and clerks are claiming a religious exemption, so they get away with their outrageous behavior without risk to their jobs. The phlebotomists have no such excuse.

    No, I wasn't saying that. I was responding to the part of the original comment that seemed to imply that it would be unlikely that we could have a situation where gays in existing marriages could remain married while future marriages would be denied.

    Do you have reputable statistics to support that claim? Because, I have statistics that prove just the opposite. The CDC estimates that the death rate from abortions between 2013 and 2018 was 0.41 per 100,000 abortions. Compare this to the risk from pregnancy, where the maternal death rate was 23.8 per 1000,000 live births in 2020. It is far riskier to be pregnant than to obtain an abortion. [think before following links] [think before following links] https://www.colorado.edu/today/2021/09/08/study-banning-abortion-would-boost-maternal-mortality-double-digits But, basically, it doesn't matter what you or I think. We're not the ones who are pregnant. The decision to have an abortion should be between the woman and her doctor. Period.

    Not so absurd. That was the situation in California for a while. Well, besides taking away the right for people of the same sex to get married in the future, the court could also take away the right to have one's marriage in a given state be recognized in another. You seem focused on what happens to existing couples. I'm concerned about people who want to get married in the future, too.

    Exactly, it is easier to maintain the status quo than to implement change. And, I agree, I don't think that they'll try to pass a nationwide ban on same-sex marriage. Marriage has been traditionally regulated at the state level and it would be a stretch to argue that the ability to ban same-sex marriage falls under the interstate commerce authority of Congress. Windsor wasn't decided on the basis of privacy, so it might (repeat, might) be relatively safe. But, I can see us returning to a situation where same-sex marriage is legal in some states, but not in others. At one time, the fact that big business would oppose such a situation would have been enough to prevent it. But, the Taliban wannabes in control of the GOP don't even care about that.

    I predict that the next time Republicans control the White House, House of Representatives and Senate that they will end the filibuster themselves in order to pass a nationwide abortion ban and other regressive legislation knowing that it will take a triple sweep by the Democrats to undo the legislation. It won't happen in 2023, even if they take the Senate and House because there's no advantage in ending the filibuster if they don't control the White House. But, they might in 2025.

    If the Supreme Court rules next year that legislatures have sole authority over elections, being even an overwhelming majority won't matter.

    Not "all the time". The CDC estimates that the death rate from abortions between 2013 and 2018 was 0.41 per 100,000 abortions.

    With the political system that Republicans have built, they only need a determined minority to hang onto power. And, with their increasing histrionics about the schools, they're determined that the upcoming generations not be exposed to a diverse society.
  11. BergenGuy
    I believe that you're right. With the overturning of Roe, Lawrence is definitely at risk because it is also built on the right to privacy. Obergefell references equal protection, which makes it closer to Loving.
  12. BergenGuy
    Looking at the MeWe site, I don't see any mention that they use Zoom. It would seem more likely that they use their own video software.
  13. BergenGuy
    That would be a be difficult as Loving was decided six years earlier than Roe.
  14. BergenGuy
    You've said that several times, but you've never explained why it'll never happen? All that it takes is for one red state to start enforcing its laws against same-sex marriage, and then watch the inevitable suit make its way through the court system. There are certainly enough votes on the Supreme Court to overturn Obergefell.
  15. BergenGuy
    Ken Paxton, the Attorney General of Texas, has said that he would defend a state law that banned sodomy. And, of course, the Texas Republicans recently adopted a platform that calls homosexuality "an abnormal lifestyle choice." The 2020 National Republican platform opposed marriage equality. Republicans will most certainly make an effort to overturn Supreme Court decisions that protect gays.

    Zoom is a publicly-traded company. It doesn't belong to Microsoft. Perhaps you were thinking of Teams?

    And, yet, those morons will continue to find a way to justify their support for Republicans of all stripes, just as they endorsed Trump in 2020. It seems to be the weird dynamic of an abused loving his abuser.
  18. BergenGuy
    I second that. @fskn is an amazing resource. I pay attention to everything that he writes.
  19. BergenGuy
    Of course, their explanation is almost always that they have to be "discreet."

    I found that empty profiles are very common on Grindr. Nothing in their profiles .. not even age or distance. But, their first message is "do you want to hookup"?
  21. BergenGuy
    You've summed it up very well, I think. Asking which app is best is like asking which phone or computer is best.
  22. BergenGuy
    I wonder if some experiences on these sites are age-dependent? Do younger people have better experiences (that is, more hookups) on Grindr, and older people do better on, say, Scruff? I've got no idea. Just throwing that out there. But, it might explain why guys on here often have such varied experiences with the sites?
  23. BergenGuy
    Sometimes I wonder if putting inconsistent stats in a profile is a catfisher's method of screening out savvy people?
  24. BergenGuy
    While Ric is resting, maybe a series about Dennis?

    Wow. Who carries around their actual vaccine card?
