I don't think rings can have a sexual orientation. Or are they tainted because the homos touched them?
I think Vince's point is that homosexuals are about ~2% of the population. As such, they are about 2% of the wedding market. Since they were a PAIR of engagement rings, I'd say that's pretty constraining to the traditional lesbian market.
Yes.

Oh, well then just bust up the pair and you have two engagement rings to sell, no?

Yeah, if someone thinks that particular custom ring is for them.

Depends on how they were paired. If it's just "hey we both want a blue stone instead of a diamond" that's one thing. If it's "we want 'OMG I Love your pussy'" on both... good luck.

I'm betting it's at least got a monogram or some type of engraving specific to that person. It's a complete bitch to get a woman to decide on a cut of diamond, let alone the details of the metal circle thingy that goes around it. Even if it's not, you still have to sit on it and wait until someone with that taste and finger size comes around. Time that could've been spent filling other orders, making more profit. Unless they've got some evidence he was going to intentionally fuck up the rings, I'm unsure what they're carrying on about.

Also, since they were a custom job, so if they had dainty fingers the market got small again since it's a pain to size up. If that had the traditional bull dyke meaty man hook hands, then plenty of room for downsizing.

It's all about getting to the married part. But then that presents a whole different set of challenges.

My first engagement... she let me know what was an acceptable size of diamond, etc.

The 2nd didn't care.

Guess which one I married?

Let's see how much Indiana supports religious freedom.
But participants in Wednesday's inaugural service at the First Church of Cannabis were planning to celebrate the gathering without their illegal sacrament, days after authorities threatened arrests if the congregation lit up during the rites.

Looks like not much.

I'm sure Indiana supports religious freedom without discrimination for Christians of all sorts.

Confirmed. Indiana will let Catholic children drink while underage, but adults smoking bud is off limits. Come on, where are all the religious freedom defenders?

In fairness to the Catholics in question, it may not be illegal in the first place. Every state is a bit different, of course, but at least in Texas it is legal for a minor to drink the their parent or guardian provides the booze and approves.

Since Catholic priests aren't supposed to have kids, that tiny loophole doesn't apply. The parent isn't providing it. Hell, according to them, it's not even booze.

If the priest hands it to the parent who hands it to the kid then what would qualify.

I say let them have their pot head church. I don't care. As long as I'm not supporting them, I don't give a flip. As long as they aren't trying to make me partake... don't care.

I say keep the wall of separation between church and state raised. I hope you will be as consistent when they come after the churches that refuse to perform a gay marriage.
