Cakes collapsing, groomsmen blacking out, maybe even a bride’s tumble down the aisle — you could chalk all these up as wedding disasters.
Which makes what happened at the recent nuptials of Oscar De Las Salas and Gary Jackson an absolute nightmare.
The couple was in the midst of their dream wedding by the coast in Coronado, CA near San Diego when their vows were interrupted by people in a nearby luxury condo building repeatedly screaming things like “go home, homos!”
The grooms, as well as some thirty guests including an Arizona congresswoman, were left shocked as the remarks kept coming throughout the service.
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
All the balconies in the building appeared empty, but the hateful comments remained a constant throughout the wedding, forever marking the couple’s ceremony with nasty memories.
“It’s just sad that that is now ingrained for the rest of our lives in our wedding day,” said Jackson. “That person took a chunk of what should have been a beautiful day and turned it into something nasty and full of hate.”
De Las Salas said, “He took from me, my husband, and my guests a moment of joy, a simple moment of joy.”

Amazing how petty people get. “I can’t stop them from existing, I can’t stop their legal rights, I can’t even stop their holding the wedding where I can see it… but at least I CAN mar their special moment by shouting at them!”

Slurs being hurled from million dollar condos? Once again,proof positive that money doesn’t buy class. Publicizing this hopefully will shame the neanderthals and that condo community in front of their friends, families and colleagues.

And how much you want to bet that the yellers call themselves christians???

it’s the same thing as a comedy club heckler, or an anonymous internet commenter – one who wants attention, sort of. they want to be heard, sort of, but don’t have the balls to stand up and have actual discerning attention and focus on them, so they shout hate from a place of anonymous darkness. hoping that while hidden, they can make someone else feel bad.
it’s what cowards with no spines and no balls do for fun.

Money doesn’t buy taste. Those condos are hideous.

Get off the cross. If you are going to let anyone or anything ruin your day, especially someone you do not even know, no matter what their behavior then that is on you.

@Saint Law: Lol

@tdx3fan: Ha! Exactly my attitude toward trolls!

@NoCagada: worse, they probably call themselves “americans”.

@tdx3fan: If we were disembodied agents of pure objectivity then you might have a point. But we’re not and you don’t.
It was supposed to be an intimate celebration of their love and commitment and some worthless fucknut acted like it was another drunken night at the comedy club. That is on him and your acting the apologist for it is on you.

@Saint Law: The condos are styled after the nearby historic (huge and old) Hotel Del Coronado. It’s an unfortunate knock off.

How sad. It’s hard not to let something like that get to you on your wedding day. There are many things I can ignore, but ignorance is one I struggle with!

Million dollar condos near San Diego? Let this be a lesson — never get married where Republicans might congregate.

@erikwm: …Or, anyone whom you don’t know! There are always ignorant @ssholes who just like to spoil anything. Add *common propriety* to the money-can’t-buy list.

@tdx3fan: Well, thank you, GANDHI

They should put out a reward for identifying the person who did it.

@erikwm: That’s been my experience around Hotel Del Coronado. Not too friendly.

This is the true face of Christianity. For almost two thousand years they executed us. When they couldn’t do that anymore, they threw us in prison. When they couldn’t do that, they beat us up or hurled slurs and insults. That’s why Christianity must be destroyed.

These people aren’t Christians. I’m tired of hearing the hateful insults as much as you are, but I guess these people are exercising “free speech”. Sad, but true. True Christians don’t act and think like this. For anyone to say “Christianity must be destroyed”, is an insult to true Christians. Believe it or not, they’re a lot of Gay Christians!
