sad. where do you get one of those "donate" buttons?

[Miss Philicia]

If they didn't go to a dozen international circuit parties annually they wouldn't have to beg on line.

[Jeff G]

I have a few odd jobs they could do to earn some cash , very odd jobs .

What does it pay?

What does it pay? 

The one with the big guns .

btw, the UK passed gay marriage legislation in July and it's supposed to be brought into force by mid-2014. Couldn't they delay their plans by a mere six months?

... ah, the life of an international A-List queer. And wouldn't you know that Eric's last boyfriend looks just like the current one.

Eric Turner's facebook page is now filling up with "get AIDS and die!" comments.

[Joe K]

Apparently, for some, hubris has no limits.

From the looks of her FB page she ain't hurting for money.

My Nephew has a brain tumor and is on one of those fundit sites . He has to go to LA twice a month for treatment and so far people have donated all of his travel and hotel cost . Im taking him to the airport this weekend and he just called and told me someone had picked up the tab again .

That link is bringing up pics of various people, including Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. 

They are marrying on my birthday.  I feel a strong connection to them now.  Please have some compassion for these great men.  .

[jkinatl2]

Ugh. Insufferable people are unsufferable.

I give the marriage three rounds of roids.

Modified to add: Or three White Parties. Whichever.

[tednlou2]

So, he has responded on his Facebook page.  He says he is not having 4 weddings.  He says they are having one wedding and 3 house parties.  Hmmm.  If they were having very modest house receptions--talking very modest-- then if they needed funds to get mom to the one wedding, then maybe not so awful??  Have I been sucked in?  I mean, they didn't make up a lie that one was dying with cancer or mom was dying with cancer and this was her last wish.  If people choose to donate, then they aren't being taken by a lie.  People can choose to donate or not. 

Am I being sucked in? 

[mitch777]

 

Am I being sucked in?

yes.

[GSOgymrat]

He says he is not having 4 weddings.  He says they are having one wedding and 3 house parties. 

Oh, well that justifies everything...

They are just too precious.

[bocker3]

Is it too late to solicit donations for my wedding from last year??  I really need to put the money back into my savings account, because I really shouldn't have had to use MY SAVINGS to pay for MY WEDDING.  There is a whole world of people who should pay for it.  Now, granted, Sid and I don't have the same physiques, but our wedding was a fraction of what theirs will cost.

While I'm at it -- maybe I can get my Marriott Points refunded and have others pay for our Aruban honeymoon.  Again -- why save for something when I can get others to pay for it.

Damn!! Why am I always late to these parties.......

[Jeff G]

Damn!! Why am I always late to these parties.......

Have you tried putting some racing stripes on your walker ?

[bocker3]

Now honey---  you and your "elephant" are a bit older than I!!  (though, younger than Sid)

Ok- I'm just going to say it and move on from it. I've asked my wedding guests that in lieu of gifts, we'd rather they contribute toward airline tickets for my parents- something we can use.

Nothing could be further from the truth. But thanks everybody who actually knows me and understands my motives and intentions. I'm done talking about it now. Sorry Morne for the negative attention. Fill your life with positivity, and cut out all the negativity, and be part of the solution- not the problem. Thanks everybody who is supportive of the decision we've made to get married!



... meanwhile they've raised $3,535.00

like respondent Ryan Parkinson says: .I'm guessing the haters are the women who can't have you, and the wives of the men who want you!!!

After years of homelessness and a day-to-day existence, Fortner, now 28, was faced with the tantalizing prospect of a place to sleep, regular meals, and more thorough New York City services provided to people who reach a certain stage of the disease. First he would have to meet their diagnosis requirements; then he would receive help.

“I didn’t know about the services,” he says. “I didn’t know that once you have AIDS you’re entitled to all this other stuff.”

That silver lining was a surprise to Fortner. And while it might seem counterintuitive, contracting the virus has made life easier for other young homeless men in New York City, who in return for developing full-blown AIDS gain a roof over their heads and basic services.

Not at all! Send an invoice to that bitch aunt. Isn't she responsible for your soul's salvation or some such shit?

[bocker3]

Hmmm??  True, the extra money she gets from her deceased EX-husband's SS could be a good start!

BTW - she actually sent me a friend request from Facebook a cople months back!  Honest to goddess!!

Um, no.

Luckily, anything they raise over the amount needed to fly parents over will be donated to a really good videographer to take footage of the glorious event.

Here in Atlanta there are many, many people just like these two. They call themselves Libertarians but usually vote Republican. They tend not to age well.

Which is a comfort.

[Dachshund]

sorry if someone posted their honey fund link, seems these two queens aren't too poopular right now.

[Dachshund]

According to one comment they could pay for everything if they stopped bleaching their anus.

[Dachshund]

Sadly the Wumpette refuses to quit bleaching his poo-hole. Miss P has broken off their engagement.

[Miss Philicia]

Well damn -- there goes our wedding at the Saigon Maxim and a dim sum buffet.

I was hoping to raise money on line to get my parents up here via Greyhound.

[Dachshund]

I thought it was being catered by Hamburger Helper.
