Avenue Q Puppets Getting Married.....um... — Page 3

Marionettes getting married is where I draw the line.

What's next?

The Lonely Goatherd Marrying the sheep?

I mean Avenue Q really needed some new publicity because no one really heard much from it in a while

At first I thought, "Great. We bust our humps for equality and what do they show? Two male puppets getting married."

I find it a publicity stunt and nothing more.

What's sad is I saw an article with 60 beautiful pictures of loving, happy couples, and the puppets were thrown in there as well.

Ok Jane, enough is enough. That's all I will say.

I feel that this sent a very sweet and positive message. Kudos to them. We all need to open our minds. It was just a gesture.

Union rules and the price of paying the puppeteers and props crew to be there may have prevented the rest of the gang from coming?

Frankly, I think the idea of a "gay marriage" for Rod and Ricky is nice. Having that take place on the first or second day real gay couples can get married and trying to make it a press event? Not as nice.

Hair's onstage marriages were probably a PR stunt too. But you know what? Real couples got married and had an unforgettable wedding ceremony. I find that kind of stunt much cuter than a fictional marriage between puppets (who aren't even headed towards marriage in the show).

Perhaps we should be so lucky.

Honestly, people need to lighten up! If we keep perceiving the gay marriage issue as "us vs. them", the progress will be much slower. Taking it too seriously only encourages the homophobes to get riled up about it.

"Next thing you know,people will want to marry marionettes."

Not going to happen. No one wants a marriage with that many strings attached!

"Ok Jane, enough is enough. That's all I will say."

It sure is!
