And yes, if you don't hate the gays... what is wrong with civil unions / marriage?

That whole "man / woman" thing is just, well, a nice way of saying "i am a bigot" and the "respecting the sanctity of marriage" retort makes you look like an ignoramous who forgets about all those divorces that go on. Don't hate the gays, Chad!

]]> <![CDATA["My Blood Began To Boil.

This makes me think that leading up to this she was already playing games and leading him on.

BTW, Moe, I thought your email was pretty crap. So all professionals (lawyers, MBA, the like) are "regs" (btw, does this stand for something?) and hate teh gays?? I know plenty of professionals (reg or not) who totally support gay marriage, and plenty of non-professionals who don't. Agree with a prior poster that your comments had an elitest "Mean Girls" tone to them ...

]]> <![CDATA["My Blood Began To Boil. I Could Feel The Veins Throbbing On The Side Of My Head."]]> @Daryl26: Do we have any evidence that she "started spreading rumors" that Chad hates gays? I mean, beyond Chad?

What likely happened is that Mary was that after their conversation about gay marriage, she decided Chad wasn't the guy for her. Mary probably confided in another associate, and probably said that his views on the subject were off-putting. I'm guessing that is not the sole reason for her being "just not that into him," but that was probably the straw that broke the camel's back in terms of her decision not to date him.

I don't know about summer law associates, but I know enough about graduate students, Peace Corps volunteers, and other people in small, isolated groups is that:
a) everyone talks
b) some of those people are prone to exaggeration, which results in your office rumor mill turning into a game of "telephone."

If Chad couldn't figure that out, then God help him when he is working full time in an office. Also, it is likely that Mary behaved the way she did because she wanted things to blow over, and not spoil that "social dynamic" the group had going. Which, don't get me wrong, is also pretty lame.

Finally, I have yet to hear a rational argument as to why gay people have been denied the right to marry. And, no, religious dogma does not count as "rational'

why he wrote to Jezebal in the first place is another question. It's asking for punishment. and if that's the case then he came to the right place.

Years ago, I had a huge crush on a guy friend I believed to be "nice," and he rejected me in perhaps the jerkiest way possible. Apparently he would rather go after the best looking chick in the room with the biggest rack. And then he had the nerve later on to complain - TO ME! - how he didn't understand why things never worked out with him with all these girls since he was SUCH A NICE GUY.

I mean, I could scream in front of our coworkers that he left me raging drunk voicemail and that I've been trying to get him off my ass. That's what I do to losers who don't take the "PG night sessions mean we're not DATING, retard" hint. He acts like Mary had some sort of obligation to him, like they were dating. Lemme tell you, hanging in same social circle when you work together does not equal friendship, the same way closemouthed kisses do not equal dating.

]]> <![CDATA["My Blood Began To Boil. I Could Feel The Veins Throbbing On The Side Of My Head."]]> Chad:

Don't listen to Maureen (maureen, i think this site is entertaining sometimes but your perspective is waaay off on this issue). Chad, the girl was being immature. There are plenty of people who are against gay marriage and can give reasoned arguments for their position as is the same for people who are for it. If she became freaked out by your opinion during what you describe as a short and civil conversation, then that's something she needs to settle with herself.

Furthermore, while I would not have taken her to dinner and laid everything out on the table as you did, she could have responded to you a lot more diplomatically. She could have told you that she thought you both were too different politically or that LGBTQ rights are very important to her and she wouldn't want to be with someone who doesn't agree, etc. And it would have been awkward to see her again afterward but at least both of you would have been upfront and honest with each other about your feelings. I think this is what you tried to do but it would have been better to just leave her alone after you sensed that she wasn't in to you.

Nevertheless, it was totally inappropriate and even rude of her to become standoffish and evasive after that dinner. And THEN she spreads a rumor about you- i mean how old is she 12? This is even more inappropriate of her. It was also foolish of you to leave that drunken voicemail but at least you acknowledged your silliness and tried to set things straight. She, on the other hand, sent you an email that sounded pretty passive-aggressive to me with the last line being the most guiling: "That said, I have absolutely no ill feelings towards you with the exception of how you've handled this." She should have taken a dose of self reflection before writing that- how about how's she's handled the situation? Why did she send her friend to diffuse the tension about the rumor? She should have done it herself and at least given you that respect even if she's not in to you romantically.

And really, Mary has every right to be annoyed by someone who puts her on the spot like Chad did, especially if he knew darn well his feelings were not reciprocated. Actions like that are selfish and immature, pure and simple.

]]> <![CDATA["My Blood Began To Boil. I Could Feel The Veins Throbbing On The Side Of My Head."]]> Moe's right. "Mary" didn't send a crap email. This is just another example of a law student becoming obsessed with the law school/summer associate "fishbowl" culture. Maybe when Chad's done with the 3-year pissing contest, and has a real job and real worries, he'll realize that other people have better things to worry about than whether "Mary" slighted him or whether all of the citations in his journal note are correct. Unless he's one of those guys who never grows out of it. If that's the case, he can go cry into a bag of money.

(You work and socialize with 20 people - don't start rumours of any kind. It always gets around to everyone.)

He, however, is a jerkish social idiot who CANNOT LET GO. Witness the fact that he sent an epic story to a high-traffic website to explain how utterly mean a short, professional email is. And all so he can get the final say in this little drama.

Stet

]]> <![CDATA["My Blood Began To Boil. I Could Feel The Veins Throbbing On The Side Of My Head."]]> Her email is not a crap email - in fact, it's a remarkably adult and lawyerly email for a law student (who generally, as Chad's letter makes clear, have the emotional maturity of 6th graders).

That said, I don't think Moe's response was appropriate. It started off okay, with a perfectly reasonable explanation of why Moe doesn't think it's a crap email... but devolved into snide remarks and name-callling. I'm not sure Jezebel should both take the moral high ground in posting crap email from dudes and send crap email to dudes. It's pretty inconsistent.

lisas

]]> <![CDATA["My Blood Began To Boil. I Could Feel The Veins Throbbing On The Side Of My Head."]]> Both of these people suck but I'm of the opinion that Mary is a greater level of suckitude than Chad. First rule of dating a coworker is...well the first rule is not to date a coworker. The second rule is you don't discuss the relationship with other coworkers. Mary is all levels of wrong for that shit. Second, she's wrong for pulling the 8th grade "I'm going to act cold to you but not tell you why" act. Adults learn to talk about their issues, she has clearly not progressed to that level.


Chad. The dinner bomb? Well have we not learned that men mostly suck at anything involving expressing feelings? I will say that he did well at trying. Instead keeping everything in, he said what he was feeling. He definitely sucks for his opinion on gay marriage BUT the jump people are making from opposes gay marriage to hates gay people/homophobe is disturbing. He also sucks for bringing "relationship" crap into the workplace. That email was totally wrong place wrong time. Again the intent was good but the execution was all fail.


That said, I don't think Chad deserved the ripping he got here.

This is the perfect reason why I hardly come to jezebel anymore.

It didn't seem like he was into gays at all just because he was against gay marriage, it was very immature of her to get mad because they differ in that point, she started spreading rumors about it, refused to explain herself, sent her friend as if this were 5th grade, etc. God forbid if he' s been hurt and confused fter this little episode. I wouldn't be surprised if he decided to turn gay after all. Women are mean.

]]> <![CDATA["My Blood Began To Boil. I Could Feel The Veins Throbbing On The Side Of My Head."]]> In every crap e-mail, the dude should be named Chad. Chad here reminds me of Rick Moranis from Ghostbusters mixed with the bad karate teacher in Karate Kid.

Nonetheless, Chad's anti-gay marriage argument could in my opinion be viable if he said that marriage is a social rather than a divine or natural construct, and society can logically deny homosexuals the right to marry as a way of maintaining the original social whim. Not that I believe that.

Why is it necessary to impose a sophmoric psychoanalysis of someone based on a few lines he wrote? Doing so is a serious insult and attempt to assert your superior status over him. While you are right that her email was not "crap," your getting all up in this guy's face, making snotty stereotyping cracks about his occupation, dismissing out of hand his own perception of a socially engaging summer social experience, etc. was unfair to him, and a disservice to Jezebel.

Sorry, Moe I regularly follow your posts and like your stuff, but this guy did not deserve your assault.

Yeah right, Chad,"somehow".

Not to mention the painfully detailed, and way overlong email he wrote. I can see how his blood would boil if he was misquoted.

This guy has serious issues, and I bet if I were in his perfect group of 20 I'd find him overbearing and obnoxious.

And it was a way selfish move of him to put her on the spot like that when he knew she wasn't "that into him." (Can that phrase please DIE...it has become so reg.) Dude, grow up and live your own frickin life.

]]> <![CDATA["My Blood Began To Boil.

Then, you can get religious married if you're so inclined, but it should have no state benefits.

It's basically an argument that entirely misses the points of what gay people who want to get married are fighting for, but it's fun for people who like to quibble over semantics to engage in.

Also, why, if we've been calling it marriage all these years for both state and religion, does religion get the word in the divorce? Why can't they have religious unions, and we'll have state marriage? See, semantics.

]]> <![CDATA["My Blood Began To Boil. I Could Feel The Veins Throbbing On The Side Of My Head."]]> @PhoebeC: @PhoebeC: First, state statutes use the term "marriage", so it's not just a "church word".

Second, what are the non-homophobic reasons for opposing gay "marriage" but being okay with "civil unions"? What is the point of creating "civil unions" if they would have the same exact rights as "marriages"? Because if a "civil union" were really the same thing as a "marriage", the different names would be utterly superfluous and unnecessary, except to differentiate between 2 classes of people, which is state-sponsored discrimination.

Third, "marriage" is a fundamental right under the US Constitution. Laws that restrict a person's right to exercise a fundamental right are prohibited, unless they are necessary to achieve an important state interest. So what state interest is being achieved by prohibiting gay "marriage"? I have yet to hear one that makes any real sense.

It is clear that he lacks tact, thinks he is some kind of perfect guy (social dynamic? man, seriously?!), and is what we here in Ireland would describe as an eejit.

Also: it irritates me that he doesn't offer any reasonable defense for his position on gay marriage, even though he gets so angry about people calling him a homophobe. I was expecting a rational argument all the way through until the end. I don't buy it.

Then, either this person or one of the 17 other people that immediately heard this through the grapevine, brings it up when they are drunk, saying, "So I hear it's not working out 'cause you hate the gays," employing, as people sometimes do, some hyperbole to make the conversation more interesting.

Chad here just didn't pick up on the joke. That, plus his epic novel here, spells self-absorbed, clueless douche.

They disagree with the fight for gay marriage because they can't fathom why you would want to fight so hard to belong to a group that thinks you're amoral and wicked just because who you want to spend your life with. So the point is why fight to have it called marriage just to please a bunch of homophobic churchies and fit in with them. Fight for "civil unions" with full and equal rights and call it what ever you damn well please. But this is not my fight, as I said ... I could care less what you call it. I just don't like you calling my friends homophobic, there are more than two sides to this coin...

Dear Blond Diary

]]> <![CDATA["My Blood Began To Boil. I Could Feel The Veins Throbbing On The Side Of My Head."]]> Geez, Moe! I'm a law student, so I hope I'm not a reg, too. If Chad is clerking at a firm with TWENTY summer clerks (most firms hire one or two), that's a firm that starts its fresh-out-of-law-school junior associates with six-figure salaries (which happens to only the top 5% of law school graduates while the rest of us average $60,000). I would be PISSED and freaking out if another clerk was telling other clerks I didn't like gay people bc of a difference in personal views (that guy didn't pull that statement entirely out of thin air - it came from somewhere, and even airing political views at work can be a career killer). Firms normally hire from that pool of clerks, so it's ultra competitive, and that kind of a rumor could kill a job offer with that firm - especially if he thought she'd go to HR.

Chad is a guy I would NEVER want to touch bc of how weird he acted, and I'm all for gay marriage, but I would never potentially put someone's career at stake bc of his weirdness - it's not worth it. I know I'll get the wrath of the Jezzies here, but I just wanted to offer the law student view.
