well danny and billie are a pair of bisexual folks getting married, so it’s distinctly possible their queer union could destroy marriage once and for all

At this point in time, they are ninja-queers! (except for when Billie tongued Ruth)
So their destruction of marriage will come as a shock…really only to people who don’t know them. Their friends and family seem to already be expecting the end of days
I remember the stuff that comes later and being a bit disappointed that everything went to crap, but now that it’s done (and after prior It’s-Walky!-retrospective comments), I realize that it really is better showing that their relationship had ups and downs that they worked out rather than was near-perfect all the way through.
Maybe because by that point I had weathered a couple of shitty breakups, I guess.
Yep. It’s something I really liked about Danny/Billie, that they weren’t built up together and then everything was radsauce; you got the feeling that their relationship was something they worked for.
I’m sure “queer” is the same word Mary would use but not for the same reason

Had you decided Billie was bi when you wrote this, or did that only come about post-It’s Walky?
The “my feelings” part in this strip might be a clue.
All that really proves is that, in Billie’s world, everything is about Billie, and that was known.

Note that marriage is only destroyed when two same-gender people marry. Conservatives told us that gay-marriage bans weren’t discriminatory because gay folks could marry opposite-gender people.
And did some people buy it? Sounds like horseshit.
I remember reading that! What a delightful misconstruction of the issue. I had a friend in high school who liked to tell me that he knew of gay men (Mormons like himself) who were happily married to women. Putting the whole issue of the man’s happiness in that scenario aside, which is certainly a weighty one itself… what about the woman? Why would you consign the opposite-gendered spouse of a gay person to the fate of never being loved romantically?
Well, to be fair, there’s a difference between romantic love and physical attraction.
Here, here’s a link to a post by a Gay Mormon talking about his personal experiences where he talks about his wife’s perspective some: http://www.joshweed.com/2012/06/club-unicorn-in-which-i-come-out-of.html
And HERE is a link from the same couple from this year, about how they are getting a divorce (but still raising their kids together) so that he can finally explore his own sexuality:

(This post is much more heartwarming and life-affirming than the older post where they try to justify their marriage.)
for mutual parents-off-their-cases? (I know you were speaking hypothetically, but it’s a thing)
Look how well that’s worked out for Orson Scott Card.
