Gay Marriage is strictly Mooney territory.

Is every single person who rings Joe a "victim"?

"Clearly untrained in dealing with same sex couples"

WTF? What training is necessary?

Would madam be interested in hers and hers pendants at a discount?

Who is this guy? Complaining on their part?

This is true.

JonathanAnon

So because the staff member made the assumption that they were both getting married to men, this is homophobic? Seems like they were just looking to be offended.. There's a show on Sat nite for professional victims, ring that..

Listen carefully and you can hear this guy clapping himself on the back.

he'll be looking for a discount to make up for the lack of training of the staff there too.

Homophobia? I don't think so. Just more of a case of it being uncommon for a lot of shop owners I'd say.

Dub.

What is this whingebag waffling on about?

Judgement Day

Why should staff be trained to deal with same-sex couples? If people choose to live outside the accepted norms they have to deal with these things - it goes with the territory. I've nothing against gay people but why do we have to change everything to suit them and their sensitivities.

It shouldn't be a problem if shop staff are trained to be courteous and helpful to all customers regardless of their sexual orientation.

Joe's looking at the second hand on the watch. 48 bloody minutes to go

This guy had no right to mention the other woman's family...

This is just like the mammy ringing on behalf of the morto son, only its a Dad ringing on behalf of his daughter.

"Take the jump"

Attention folks, the caller was addressing people in the closet, not people who are suicidal.
