When I heard about the Supreme Court rulings I thought about you guys and others like you who aren't around anymore to see this day. Tonight we'll raise glasses to celebrate your spirit, and how it helped fuel the flame that finally brought about the day that should always have been yours. Cheers, guys.

BlueDevil was in a loving, long-term relationship with someone he deeply loved. How dare the prophets and popes try to get between him and his partner? How dare they assume that their own Bronze Age morality applies to anyone outside their flocks? How dare they point to anyone and say, "You are worth less than me!" You can't preach morality if you preach against love.

Originally Posted By RoadTrip I met with Tim (BDSF) several times when I lived in the Twin Cites, including when he and I went out to see "Snakes on a Plane"... we laughed out butts off. Rosie and I also went out to dinner with both Tim and his partner... they were really great people. I was so sorry to learn after I moved to SW Missouri that his heart problem was getting worse and then that he had passed.
Originally Posted By Labuda Thanks for the thread, SPP. I of course remember when Tim passed, but somehow completley missed WHY gad was gone; I jsut know I haven't seem him online for quite a while.

Apparently no one here knew how to contact him outside of the boards. <a href="http://mb.laughingplace.com/MsgBoard-T-123008-P-1.asp" target="_blank">http://mb.laughingplace.com/Ms...-P-1.asp</a> For all we know he's still alive, just not posting. Let's hope that's the case.

As for you, BD, I would have hoped to have had some worthy exchanges because if cats like SPP and RT vouch for you then I know I missed out..........there is a word we use in the Philippines that has no single word translation in English. "SAYANG" Anyway congrats on your victory
