I'm amazed that there hasn't been more discussion about this show on the board. Do most of the regulars not attend Blowoff from time to time, or is there no interest in the issue of gay marriage, or what? I'll be there, in the VIP section to boot, and I'm straight, I just think that if two men or women want to marry, it's their own business, who is the gov't to tell them different. Plus, I get to see Bob Mould perform, which is always a pleasure. Any thoughts?

I'll be right there with ya in VIP, God bless payday. I want to say hello to Henry Rollins. Bob Mould, what more can be said? He's phenomenal. Rich Morel's band is great, too. Blowoff is so much fun...there's a pic of me from MW this week from the last Blowoff (I'll let you guess which one I am): http://www.metroweekly.com/scene/?k=470
 
 Without a doubt this is an important issue and it's for a good cause. Thanks for the post and for emphasizing that even though it's a gay marriage thing, it's not just another gay show. It's cool to have everyone stand up for the rights of others, and given the current political climate it just saddens and angers me that people are so against letting others be treated on equal basis. More than anything, I just think it will be a fun evening for a good cause. It's not a cheap ticket, but it's a benefit after all. I hope that people will consider going to this one.

too expensive plus i don't like any of the acts
 
 I support gay marriage, but I suspect those pushing that agenda have deeper financial pockets than I do.

 That is you on the right, right?
 
 I dont understand why anyone would want to get married.

I'd love to see the show but more to support the cause than anything. I'm straight but can't understand how people can be so narrow-minded as to care whether or not gay people want to suffer in married hell like the rest of us    I guess people just want to hate somebody....

[bearman🐻]

Ha! SO not me. I don't even think either of them are cute.

Personally, I think marriage kind of sucks too, but what's not right for me might be right for someone else. They should have the freedom to decide and choose that for themselves.

[Charlie Nakatestes, Japanese Golfer]

I can easily understand why people can be against gay marriage, but I don't agree with them.

I know, I was just kidding. Nor do I.
 
 You prefer deported women having to prostitute themselves to nazi's.

 How? I really couldn't care less what other people do if it has no negative effect on me.

[bearman🐻]

I wish more people would think the way you do. As long as people aren't doing anything to interfere on your life and well-being, I just don't see the problem.

Actually, there was discussion...

[Charlie Nakatestes, Japanese Golfer]

I mean I can easily understand that for some people, it's a traditional value that marriage is some sort of sacred union of a man and a woman. Not a man and a man or a woman and a woman.
 
 I don't agree with that, but I'm saying I can understand that that's how people feel. It's certainly a notion that's been ingrained in our society for...all of history?
