Honey: (ring, ring) “Hello?”
Sweetheart: : “Uh, hi Honey, it’s me.”
Honey: “Oh hi Sweetheart. What’s up?”
Sweetheart: “Well, I just wanted to check to be sure, uh, are we okay with each other?”
Honey: “What are you talking about?”
Sweetheart: “I mean in our marriage. Is our marriage okay?”
Honey: “Of course it is. What’s going on?”
Sweetheart: “Well I just heard that the California Supreme Court ruled that no one can be discriminated against in their right to marry whomever they love, and that includes same-sex couples.”
Honey: “Wow! That’s great. What’s that have to do with our marriage?”
Sweetheart: “Well, some people are saying that this is going to destroy marriage, and because our marriage is so important to me I just wanted to be sure it hasn’t been destroyed.”
Honey: (laughter) “Oh Sweetheart, you are so funny. Our marriage is up to us. It’s our creation that we make better or worse every day by the decisions we make. It can’t be destroyed by the gay couple next door who want to be married too. People who are afraid of that either have weak marriages, weak minds or small hearts.”
Sweetheart: “Yeah I thought you’d say that Honey, but I just wanted to be sure.”
Honey: “Listen Sweetheart I’ll show you how strong our marriage is when I get home tonight. Okay?”
Sweetheart: “Okay. Love ya, bye.” (Via: Friendly Atheist)
