    To put it into hyperbolic perspective,

    this would be like celebrating the failure of an anti-slavery bill by giving away black people.

    Or by forcing black people to eat wedding cake.

    That doesn't seem any more douchey than serving wedding cake for passing gay marriage would be.

    Either way it's serving celebration wedding dessert for setting marriage right.

    Not exactly sensitive to tge other side, but this seems like a bit of an over reaction.

    nooo

    its like, haha you cant have this

    Exactly. If they passed equal marriage rights and then decided to serve cake, it'd be like "Sweet... Cake!"
    The douchebags are keeping the cake to themselves and bragging about how awesome and heteronormative it tastes..

    Is everyone actually this myopic?

    It's a group of people that feel Tgey have done good service in defense of marriage. Celebrating with marriage dessert is perfectly sensible in that situation.

    It's insensitive, but certainly no more insensitive than banning same sex marriage in the first place.

    I had wedding cake yesterday. It is the end of the cake.

    Also, the point is it is more douchey because they're in the moral wrong here.

    There's passing a bill.

    And there's rubbing the other side's face in it through imagery and symbolism.

    Things like this are great examples of why democracy sucks and we should leave everything to the dictators.

    On the other hand, Chris Christie vetoing the gay marriage bill even though only a third of the state is actually opposed to gay marriage is a pretty good example of why democracy is awesome and we should leave more things to the people.

    Really I just kind of wish we had a benevolent dictator that would lead America into enlightenment.
    No, referendums are the stupidest fucking idea. The fact that they very rarely actually arrive at a correct conclusion against the prevailing votes of the legislature/governor is not a good reason to keep them around.

    Yeah, no shit. Having a benevolent dictator around would be a stupid fucking idea, too. I had assumed you'd be able to see at least a trifle of sarcasm there.

    It removes all the rights and protections to civil unions thanks to its super vagueries. It also defines marriage as a union between a man and a woman iirc.

    The only justifiable attitude to take to banning gay marriage would be, 'We respect you as people but feel this is necessary'.

    That would be wrong, but much more acceptable.

    Having a spiteful wedding cake celebration afterwards makes it clear they just hate gay people and are being childish and hateful about it.

    Which is worse, partly because it's childish and dumb, partly because it makes it clear that it does come from bigotry, not religious principles.

    I'm sorry guy, but I think you need to run this topic through a few more mental exercises.

    The cake is a symbol of their attitude, the attitude that led to the reprehensible thing they just did. Is the cake, itself, evil? No. But the attitude it symbolizes is. The attitude is worse than the act of banning same-sex marriage.

    Me too.

    But people were responding to ME's initial post, which didn't say that in the slightest, but instead says that it's the same as if gay rights supporters won and had a celebration with wedding cake.

    It's hard to restrain from being snarky when the two posts are saying entirely different things.

    Except they are doing both. The context of the cake thing is that they just banned same-sex marriage. It's not like I'm saying the cake itself is the most reprehensible thing in the world. But in context, yes, it is.

    We can all agree that banning gay marriage and then eating cake is more douchey than banning gay marriage and then not eating cake.

    From this we can discern that the really douchey thing is eating cake.
