Maine Does It Right

Bigots have succeeded in getting the recently passed Maine marriage equality bill put to a "people's veto." I'll spare my rant on why any democratic republic's decisions should never be subject to a majority popular vote. Instead, I'll give kudos to Maine's pro-equality machine. Unlike California, the anti-bigotry side in Maine is running ads that are hot-dog awesome:

Traditional Christian Family Patriotic Marriage Protected Again!

Tennessee State Senator Paul Stanley (not the one who ROCKS!) has been trying to make it illegal for evil, anti-family homos to adopt children in his state. He is very much opposed to gay marriage.

Meanwhile, he had an affair with a 22-year-old intern. At least it was with a she, I suppose.

Good thing we have these insufferable shit stains to protect "traditional" marriage...from everybody but themselves.

New Hampshire To Experience God's Wrath On January 1, 2010

Another New England state becomes cooler than the rest of us.

Then Get On With It

Obama recognized June as Pride month.

"The LGBT rights movement has achieved great progress, but there is more work to be done," he said. "LGBT youth should feel safe to learn without the fear of harassment, and LGBT families and seniors should be allowed to live their lives with dignity and respect."

Obama also reiterated his support for hate crimes legislation, civil unions and federal rights for LGBT people, outlawing discrimination in the workplace and ending "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" law "in a way that strengthens our Armed Forces and our national security."

Well, what's stopping you? End DODT now: one stroke of a pen ends throwing gays out of the military (legally, the President can end military discharges in wartime based on whatever criteria he sees fit), and Congress can do the rest if pushed. And tell those reprobates in Congress to repeal DOMA this session (or as soon as Al Franken is in the Senate, in any case).

Like any minority tied to one party, we're taken advantage of in November, then promised the fulfillment of promises until the party's power is lost. But we have a card to play with the DNC: we don't have to show up to the polls in 2010 or 2012. And if "No more Mr. Nice Gay" is going to mean anything, that card needs to be played.

And Obama might want to reconsider his stance on gay marriage since, on that issue, he is to the right of Darth Cheney.

The Next State To Feel Jesus' Wrath?

Rhode Island, where 60% of the population support gay marriage. New York is 50-50, as is California. So much for the traditionally "gay" states...

By the way, if you want to publicly support gay marriage, you do so with a white knot. Levi Strauss is now using it in their advertising. Thank Thor it's not another goddamn ribbon or wrist band. A white knot actually symbolizes what it means, in defiance of all the ribbons and wrist bands everywhere. AIDS never should have adopted a ribbon: a tombstone would have been more appropriate and affective.

Gay Marriage Is So EVIL It Forces Good Christian Folk To Be Lying Phonies

Some Christer anti-homo group called the National Organization for Marriage made a scary ad detailing all the horrible things that gay marriage is doing to decent, breeding folk. It'll be running on all the major cable news stations, but you should watch it--in full--now.



Wow, all those goodly Christian Americans have really been negatively affected by allowing lying fascist reprobate homos to get hitched. Would you like to learn more about their individual stories, detailing how each of these very sincere, rights-loving, church-going Lambs of God were demonstrably hurt by fag marriage?

Well, here you go:




Thanks to the HRC.

Can you believe that the good Christian folk at the National(ist) Organization for (self-described) Marriage made YouTube pull the videos of their actors' auditions for their fake testimony based, not on actual personal testimonies, but on baseless straw-man inventions of their faith-deluded, fear-ridden, bigoted neuron clusters?

Of course you can...

That Makes 4

Vermont's House and Senate voted to override the governor's veto of the gay marriage bill.

For Iowa

Given the news today, I was reminded of a song from my rebel youth: The Dead Milkmen's "Stuart." Emphasis mine:

...

I first became aware of this, about 10 years ago, the summer my oldest boy Bill Jr. died. You know that carnival that comes to town every year? Well this year it came with a ride called the Mixer. The man said "Keep your head and arms inside the mixer at all times." But Bill Jr., he was a daredevil, just like his old man. He was leaning out saying, "Hey everybody! Look at me, look at me!" POW! He was decapitated. They found his head over by the snowcone concession. A few days after that, I open up the mail and there's a pamphlet in there, from Pueblo, Colorado. And it's addressed to Bill Jr. And it's entitled, "Do you know what the queers are doing to our soil?"

Now Stuart, if you look at the soil around any large U.S. city with a big underground homosexual population - Des Moines, Iowa, perfect example. Look at the soil around Des Moines, Stuart. You can't build on it, you can't grow anything in it. The government says it's due to poor farming. But I know what's really going on, Stuart. I know it's the queers. They're in it with the aliens. They're building landing strips for gay Martians. I swear to God.

You know what Stuart, I like you. You're not like the other people, here in the trailer park.

Who knew The Dead Milkmen were visionary?

The Gays Start Winning

It was a good day for the gays.

• Iowa's Supreme Court unanimously ruled that banning gay marriage was unconstitutional; overturning it would take years and the will of the legislature, whose heads praised the decision and stated that they would not start a constitutional amendment procedure.
• Vermont's legislature passed a gay marriage bill just 5 votes shy of being veto-proof (the Republican fart-faced governor has said that he would veto it).
• Washington moved closer to passing a "civil unions = marriage" bill.

California, like all states with ballot initiatives, doesn't need to focus on gay marriage. They need to focus on getting rid of ballot initiatives. They are populist and barbaric at best, and they are demonstrably anti-republican and anti-minority.

In the meantime, I guess I need to plan a vacation to Des Moines. I'm all about supporting the economies of pro-gay states.

Gay Alabama Fascists

I was informed that a protest last weekend at Birmingham's City Hall was canceled. Otherwise, I would have gone. But here are the gay and secular fascists at work, imposing their values on the "good Christian folk" of Birmingham through violence and harassment.

Here's our opponents, protesting a brain-dead woman's heterosexual husband's decision to see her pre-stated final choice carried out.

The confluence of lies, irrationality, and superstition hurts my brain.

An Open Letter To Barney Frank

Ridicule is the only weapon which can be used against unintelligible propositions. Ideas must be distinct before reason can act upon them; and no man ever had a distinct idea of the trinity. It is the mere Abracadabra of the mountebanks calling themselves the priests of Jesus.

Thomas Jefferson

Dear Barney Frank,

I heard your interview today on Sirius OutQ's liberal political talk show. You disagreed with the gay movement's protests of the LDS church. I could not disagree more with your position, which takes pragmatism to the level of inefficacy.

Protests do not fall on deaf ears; when done correctly, they bring attention to hypocrisy, injustice, and irrationality. And that's what the gays are doing. I dare say that you would not oppose such protests 35 years ago, when the Mormons were openly racist. The only difference is back then California didn't pass a proposition that would institutionalize the Mormons' definition of a religious leader, thereby preventing non-whites from being recognized as priests, reverends, etc. But they now have succeeded in making their religion's (current) definition of marriage into that of the government of California, an imposition of religious opinion that will in 35 years seem just as absurd and irrational as my hypothetical one.

When we're done with the Mormons, we'll turn our fabulous wrath to the Followers of Cathol, whose hypocrisy concerning gay issues and marriage (and just about every other modern ethical stance) is equally foie-gras rich. I celebrate the gays' channeling of their outrage by protesting these theocratic "mountebanks," metaphorically sticking their $400 Pradas up the superstitious twats' asses. My only criticism is that it is far too little, far too late, and a terrible thing to do to Italian leather.

Just be thankful I'm not organizing these protests: my ire towards these religions eclipses anything said or done to date. Do not these institutions also promote the abhorrent positions that latex is worse than HIV, that a woman's birth canal is subject to religious divinations concerning pregnancy, and that patriarchy should trump gender equality?

So please be quiet as we gays do what we always have done best: make trouble. We lost the battle on Prop 8 because no one wanted to be the pudding stick, and now is the time to take this all as seriously as we should personally. Our opponents thought nothing of our feelings or sentiments, let alone our lives and our ability to lead them as we see fit. They never once considered other religious views concerning the gays and marriage, and they dismissed our unanswered arguments while distorting our positions. Therefore, ridiculing their CHOICE of mysticism and their unreasonable insistence on making it California's de facto source of law fails to twiddle even a single sympathetic or empathetic neuron in my body. No belief is too sacred to be protested, mocked, scorned, or (the horrors) debunked intellectually.

I'm sure in Massachusetts, and in Washington DC, how far we have come and possible near-term gains hold primacy. And they may even provide us all with a measure of comfort and help ground us in our losses. But from the point of view of a gay atheist in north Alabama, no peaceful expression of outrage at the disgusting lies, celebrated ignorance, and faith-justified bigotry of religious fundamentalists is too much. That you can't relate to this position perhaps indicates the over-extension of your career in politics.

You should spend more time arguing our case to your peers in Washington (your history shows how woefully inadequate and exceedingly poor you are to that end), and less time criticizing us for taking our case to the opponents of reason and equality across America.

In short, shut your upper boy hole and go do something or someone productive.

The Mormons Made The Gays Very, Very Angry

As LGBT people across the country consider boycotting California, Florida, Arizona, and Arkansas (really, isn't all of America already boycotting Arkansas though), the fabulously white-hot fury of angry lesbians and catty queens has already been turned against our favorite whack-a-doodle religious group, the Mormons. I'm keeping my ears open for a local protest against the Mormons here.

No On Prop 8

Superstitious twats are winning the money war on the fight to keep gay marriage legal in California (their own legislature voted to legalize gay marriage, Governor Terminator vetoed it, their supreme court ruled that discrimination is unconstitutional). The main culprits are Mormons, who are flooding the state with money to run deceitful ads saying that gays getting married is--somehow--dangerous, anti-marriage, and anti-equality. This from a religion that, just around 3 decades ago, discriminated against non-white races. But you can't expect rational responses from magically thinking dopes.

I have given money to the cause of keeping gay marriage legal in California. Fight the Mormons: give some too. Even $10 will help.

California can't lose this right: doing so will set us gays back a decade. And you don't want to see me in those clothes (what was I thinking?).
