Anti-gay Duggars ask for pictures of kissing married couples, get flooded with pics from gay couples

Earlier this month, Jessa Duggar (of the “19 Kids and Counting” Duggars) and new husband Ben Sewald (of the “Whining on Facebook about how Catholics aren’t as holy as he is” Ben Sewalds) posted an Instagram picture of what was supposedly their very first kiss ever. Whether or not this took place before or after some wedding guests walked in on them banging in their special private kissing room, we do not know.

Anyway, I guess they got some flak over it, for reasons I’m not really sure about, and then Jessa’s parents Jim-Bob and Michelle recreated the picture on Facebook, and asked that other married couples share pictures of themselves kissing also.

God designed marriage to be a loving, dynamic relationship between a husband and wife for a lifetime. God loves marriage and it is supposed to be full of love, joy, fun and romance. Marriage is where romance belongs! Recently, Ben & Jessa received some criticism for posting a kissing picture. We are so grateful they waited to share their first kiss until after marriage. We’ve been married 30 years and are still in love! We had fun trying to duplicate Ben and Jessa’s happily married kissing picture. We challenge all married couples to take a happily married picture and post it here.


Welp. It did not go as they expected.

of belief systems that people have in this day and age.

That above sentence is the one I thought of after my initial "Dear Lord I can't believe people believe this way."

Because, for some unknown reason of boredom and procrastination, I clicked on that.

And I learned that apparently they are now pushing for no kissing before marriage. Apparently you are supposed to wait until after you are married before a kiss.

And this.


“Multiple people were discussing that when Jinger opened the door to get Jess for the reception, she immediately closed the door with a look of shock on her face,” Mary alleged on Christian fundamentalist blog “My Life As A Stay At Home Wife And Mom.” “A big group of the girls were waiting outside the room to walk with her out…and my own daughters saw as well.”

“I am not sure why they would not wait for the evening to pray and then consummate God’s marriage,” Mary continued. “The Lord has blessed them and brought them together. To hear so many people discussing what they inadvertently walked into was heartbreaking and troubling….I believe Jessa and Ben are in deep lust with each other.”

I read a post on facebook where people described how some people read the bible like how some people eat at those All-You-Can Eat Buffets. Some people are open to try everything but there will always be those people who will just pick and choose their favorites and ignore everything else.

anti-discrimination ordinance! They don't live in Fayetteville, but also put up another $10,000 to fund and anti-ordinance candidate on our city council. He won and was the only candidate that spent any money on the election. Now we'll have to deal with his 'Christians' Constitutional rights are being violated by this ordinance' crap.

"...banging in their special private kissing room..."

These are wonderful pictures! Marriage equality will be the law of the land in all 50 states soon! Our church has hosted a lot of weddings since the ruling came down in Oregon. It's just love, people.

How on Earth does one family upset so many people? If you want to kiss before marriage do so. If you want to wait, wait. Not much to it.

texts, e-mails, phone calls monitered by parents, and chaperones at all times so the couple is never alone before the wedding. And we're not talking teenagers here. The Duggar daughter who got married in June and pregnant on her honeymoon is 23 and the groom 25. It's bizarro land.

Oh, and no front hugs! Side hugs only. Kid you not.

I scrolled through about 200 comments and didn't see one, but saw I post from a user that said they were disappointed that they took down the pics of same-sex couples.
