In Very Poor Taste
So, today I'm checking through my friend's list, arrive at an entry from the gaybaltimore community (a mostly dead and boring list, sort of like the real life community itself).
Here is the actual entry, its not locked. For those who don't feel like clicking the link, this is what the entry said:
Support same-sex marriage?
Help support mine! Even if it's a dollar, every little thing will help us put together our own dream wedding.
Underneath there is a Paypal link, so you can donate that money immediately.
I'm debating with myself if I want to comment there. Something along the lines of Is this a joke? Please tell me it is. Tell me you are not whoring out to perfect strangers to get them to pay for your wedding?
Talk about having no tact, no sense of pride at all. What the hell is wrong with you? Because we're all gay I should feel some sort of obligation to help you out with your wedding plans? Merely being attracted to the same sex should create enough of a bond of fellowship that I'll just fork money over to some random internet person to go to a wedding I wouldn't even be invited to? Why should I care whether you get your "dream wedding or not?" Because I don't, not at all. Hey, I'm all for legalizing gay marriage and all, but that is as far as my support goes. Beyond that I got my own life expenses and dream experiences to spend what little money I have on. You can pay for your own fucking wedding, just like the straight people do. And if you don't have enough money for your "dream wedding" and your family can't/won't help you out, well then I guess you're just going to have to scale things back, now aren't you?
Granted I was never the type of girl that dreamed of walking down the aisle in my oh so pretty, lacy and ruffley wedding dress (and I don't want to hear anything about how cute I would look, shut the fuck up all of you), and I'm violently allergic to parties and large crowds of people in general, and being the center of attention, so I don't understand the whole wedding craze anyway (my opinion of it is pissing tons of money away on a single day when you could spend that money elsewhere on things that you need more and will last longer). But I would think the important thing is that you are married at all, the rest is just window dressing and really shouldn't be that important. Especially if you clearly don't have the money in the first place.
I am the sort of person that is always very reluctant to ask for help from anyone, not from people I know well let alone people I don't know at all. I won't do it unless there is just no other way. I do not understand where some people get the balls. Live within your means, don't beg from strangers. Its pathetic.
