Funny Doug Stanhope Bashes Marriage (Video) | Taxes & Government Regulation on Love?

Doug Stanhope is probably my favorite progressive comic right now. Much like George Carlin and Bill Hicks, he isn’t very mainstream due to his controversial views.

Here’s a clip from one of this specials where he bashes marriage- gay, straight, or otherwise.

Now that some of my peers are getting married, I just feel awkward about being invited to their weddings. As Doug points out, “Don’t think for a second that anyone wants to actually go to your wedding!” Half of me wants to support my friends, and the other half thinks that marriage doesn’t work.

A lot of Doug’s points make perfect sense but will they ever be the majority opinion? I highly doubt it in my lifetime. Marriage is an industry for a lot of people and as long as there is money to be made in Hollywood and on jewelry it’ll still exist.
