Maybe Marcus Bachmann will come out if gay marriage is legalized?

The judge in the Hawaii case was a Mormon too I think.

However, there has not – to my knowledge – been one single solitary heterosexual couple on the planet who has been identified and documented to refuse legal recognition for their marriage due to same-sex couples being granted rights.

And yet, as absurd as it seems to us, perhaps Judge Jones is more willing to accept the notion of ‘religious ceremony only with no legal rights’ marriage. There is, after all, one community that does exactly that. And Jones is much more likely to be aware of their existence than the rest of us.

Nero has sex with the handsome centurion, and the next thing you know, the huns are invading.

Why, that would be people who so despise gay people, are so disgusted by gay people, who think of us as so much lesser human beibngs than they are that they would abandon God’s plan and the cornerstone of civilization — rahter htan allow our filthy sodomitical hands on it.

Doesn’t that remind you just a little bit of someone standing outside a state university, ax handle in grubby paw, screaming “Segregation now! Segregation forever!” Maybe it reminds you a little of the lady in “The Help” who had to have a separate bathroom in her home for her maid, lest those big black cooties get on the toilet seat and give her the heebie-jeebies, or jazz, or something. Or maybe it reminds you of “those people” who had to be cleansed from pure German society, or bure serbian society, or pure hutu society, or pure magyar society?

Do you know what we call those people? We call them bigots,.

And since when did bigotry become a basis for good public policy in a democratic soicety?

Marriage equality is a latter stage of the societal sort through brought about by legalising homosexuality. Anti-gay discrimination will become more offensive over time, particularly to younger generations.

In France, where civil unions are available to all but marriage has been restricted to opposite sex couples, straight couples now opting for the Pacte civil de solidarité in larger numbers than for “traditional” marriage.

It’s ironic that the very people claiming to defend marriage are effectively arguing for the institution to be bound to a pseudo-traditional definition that will ultimately undermine its status as being outmoded and stuffy.
