Looks good on you.


Dear shrieky, homophobic god-botherers:

While I don't subscribe to any organized religion, I do believe that life is a karmic circle – you get out of it what you put into it. So allow me to be the first to say that you have no idea how much I’m enjoying this.

Now go fuck off.

Yours in endlessly amused disdain,
LuLu

P.S. This is what you're up against and, to paraphrase Tbogg, it's so not going to go away.

It's. About. Fucking. Time.

Yeah, really.

Fifty-two lousy percent of the voters supporting Prop 8 is NOT a landslide! And the vote was closer this time than it was eight years ago. Much closer.

Well past time for the US LGBT community to rise up and say enough of this invasion of privacy by religious bigots. Time for the atheists to join in too as this is truly as much a separation of church and state as it is a civil rights issue.

I have the same position on this as I had on SSM in Canada, and on every human rights issue that's come along in recent years.

Rights are above legislatures, above referenda. They're not up for fucking discussion. Rights exist; we only get to choose how to deal with and protect them. 50%+1 doesn't have the power to vote them away. Legislatures don't have the power to stifle them.

Get that, fundies? It doesn't matter what you think or what you want. In Canada, especially -- you want to take away someone's rights? rewrite the fucking constitution then. We have a process for doing that. Let me know when some provinces other than Alberta want to decrease, not increase, human rights around here.

And by the way, the judicial branch never asked to be the arbiters of the constitution, so you can fuck off with your "activist judges" bullshit and start acting like the constitution is about individual freedoms and not about whether you "support" or "accept" what other people do in their spare time. Okay?

Glad I got that off my chest.

Why is it that certain groups cannot accept Democracy? The people voted - what's unfair about that?

The LGBT groups now have become hate groups.

Call it a civil union and the problem is solved. Or is there another agenda?

Wow ... I don't think the English language has words for the logical disconnect happening in Dwain's brain.

Well there is another agenda. The "defenders of traditional marriage" are not doing a very good job of honouring the institution, given the 50% divorce rate. It seems John McCain, for example, had a wife who was in a car crash, so he traded her in for some cunt (in his words), just like you'd trade in a car. Some defense of marriage.

If we let the gays get married, it is likely they will have more stable marriages. First because they won't get married for many of the reasons straights do. You won't see situations like Todd Clampett and Granny Palin with the shotguns to make sure that Levi boy marries Bristol, now will you? And such marriages are the ones that have the highest chance of failing.

So it would be very embarrassing to see the gays having better marriage stats than the straights.

Why, it would be as bad as the separatist party here being the ONLY party with a "Buy Canadian" policy.

Democracy is not only about majority rules. Democracy is also about protecting minorities from having their lives crushed by an unreasonable majority.

"Call it a civil union and the problem is solved."

Why not call it what it really is -- marriage -- and then there's no problem at all?

Because, you see, calling it a "civil union" makes it separate, and leaves it open for discrimination-without-consequences.
