The Fire Eaters

The hypocrisy is astounding. You’d think that the evangelicals would be more concerned about the overwhelming number of heterosexuals in marriages committing adultery. Because you see, committing adultery is breaking a commandment. One of the ten big no-no’s in Christianity. If ‘God’ was so angered by the thought of two men shacking up and putting rings on each other’s fingers he would have added this as the 11th commandment.Trying to somehow use gay marriage as the opening of the floodgates of other people wanting to marry multiple partners, animals or their siblings is preposterous. The floodgates didn’t get opened when the states allowed interracial marriages a few decades ago. It seems to me that this whole outrage over the potential ramifications down the road of other types of marriages is a smokescreen to try to not be labeled as a bigot or a homophobe.Seth MacFarlane said it best Friday night on Bill Maher’s show. The Prop 8 supporters will eventually lose. It may not happen tomorrow, or next week, or next year. But someday same sex couple will be given the same rights as heterosexual couples. It’s inevitable.

This continues the total disregard for Law that we get from the American Zombie Talibangelical Party.They lie. Force them to admit they do not like the current constitution. They want the constitution changed to allow them to discriminate against Gays.There is no Constitutional Amendment needed to allow Gay Marriage. It was the Constitution’s Equal Protection clause that required Connecticut to allow Gay Marriage.The existing Laws that we live by require that we allow gay marriage. To deny Gay Marriage is to deny Equal Protection. It is just that simple. I am very tired of these bigoted ideologues trying to pretend otherwise. Their medieval superstitions do not get to override our laws.They get upset when we call them bigots. I get upset when they want the Law to be disregarded because they cling to some superstitious mumbo jumbo that tells them that Teh Gay™ are Teh Evil™. They are being called bigots because that is, in fact, exactly what they are.American Zombie Talibangelicals: Please run off and take your bigoted medieval notions with you. It’s 2009, not 1309. They really have gone retro. I expect the Witch Hunts to resume any day. They’ve already brought back the inquisition.

Git has it exactly right – no one’s changing any constitutions to allow gay marrige. On the contrary, it takes constitutional amendments to BAN gay marriage (see Prop 8 in CA). Which means, yes, that if you’re against gay marriage you’re against the constitution.And the whole “gay marriage -> polygamy -> incest -> bestiality” slippery-slope nonsense is, well, nonsense. Just like with the health care “debate”, there’s a really noticeable refusal to look at a little place called The Rest Of The World. Other countries have health care, we KNOW (or at least, we can easily learn) what happens when you have universal health care. And lots of other countries allow gay marriage too.You know Canada? That enormous thing to the north? Whole bunch of states actually share borders with it? They have universal health care, AND they allow gay marriage – what better model do you need?. And polygamy is illegal there, so is bestiality, so is incest.Whenever these Fox idiots start their slippery-slope horsepoop about all these issues that the US is so far behind on, I just want to scream “CANADA!” at them mid-sentence. Maybe point at a map. But not their map, which seems to have just one country on it.

Compared to the bigoted hatred expressed in the Video above, Yugo apparently only sees the anger when it is directed at his medieval superstitions. BillO the Clown is not exactly expressing Love thy Neighbor as oneself in that clip.Christofascists are such hypocrites. Homosexuality is an abomination, but eating pork and shellfish is OK. Pick and Choose. Pick and Choose. You don’t get to pick and choose which laws you like as you do with your religion.

CitizenJ -You have to see it the way they see it.But, but, they are gay. They are gay and I don’t have to treat like they are human. THEY ARE GAY.The last time I saw this sort of confusion was in the ’60s.But, but, they are black. They are black and I don’t have to treat them like they are human. THEY ARE BLACK.It the same sort of bigotry. They really think they are right and they don’t understand why we call them bigots. THEY ARE GAY! CAN’T YOU SEE THAT?They have deluded themselves into believing that Christ wants them to punish homosexuals. The fact that this is not true and actually contradicts Christ’s teachings not the least of which is “Judge not, and you shall not be judged,” completely alludes them. They’ve taken a religion based on the teachings of a man that said we should treat each other with tolerance, understanding and decency into a nasty fascist club they can use to beat people they don’t like with. They are not Christians. They are vicious and nasty small minded bigots.

“BillO the Clown is not exactly expressing Love thy Neighbor as oneself in that clip.”I don’t love my neighbor, either.He’s too damned loud when I’m torturing him. Wuss.What?

Marriage between toys and glasses?!? This is an outrage! There should never be toy-on-eyewear matrimony. I’m thoroughly disgusted. Look at what gay marriage has brought about.

Spoiler alert: when you support bigotry, you’ll be on the wrong side of history. Just like our treatment of the American Indian, our usage of slavery, suppression of women’s rights, Jim Crow laws, and the internment of Japanese citizens during World War II, the fact that we even needed to have this debate about gay rights will be looked back on with shame and disgust. Gay marriage will be legal in this country, hopefully sooner than later, but it will happen… You can’t stop social progress, those who try will always lose.

Look, the only people pushing the “let’s marry lots and lots of small children” argument are the pasty faced, moist palmed freaks who, presumably, can’t WAIT to get their hands on some youngsters for some hot loving.Seriously, this isn’t even a straw man argument. You can see Beck and Robertson twitching in their chairs hoping this line of argument works.
