Talking To Idiots 101: "Marriage Equality"



Einstein's descendants make their mark. More like a smear.



Well, it's time for another frightening round of 

ignorant questions and thoughtful-educated-answers-

that-will-nonetheless-not-be-heeded.

After all, the morons know their 'basis' for discrimination is

ludicrous; you strip it all away and you'll get a rousing, child-like

screech of "WELL, BECAUSE WE DON'T WANT TO LIKE

YOU, THAT'S WHY!" 

(Damn me and others like me for boiling it

down to brass tax, dispersing the smoke and mirrors!)



Another Ditto-head heard from, as obviously all of "Yahweh's" laws
are undisputed and held in highest accord!



1: Q: So, why's come you gay guys and lesbians wants to get

married? What's the big deal?

A: Exactly. If it's not a big deal, then

why is it a big deal?

2: Q: This is a slippery slope--Next thing you'll be saying it

should be legal for bigamy and marrying kids.

A: No, it's all about legal adults and legitimate relationships,

consenting folks...not coercion.

Are you aware of how many heterosexuals marry

underage children in the U.S. every year, though?

3: Q: Gay people are trying to make me believe something

that goes against my religion! That's discrimination!

A: Let's first determine that one statement has nothing

to do with the other; it's an illogical train of though,

and moot since both statements are fact.

What's desired is progression, and progress goes according

to societal standards, not simply one group's notion.

Similarly, the Constitution and Bill of Rights are set up

to protect society on whole from the 'tyrrany of the majority.'

If passed, marriage equality will require that people

comply with the law. And already existing laws will hopefully

guarantee that discrimination against us homosexuals

 is prevented as we exercise our freedom to marry.

Things can exist in the world without your giving

explicit approval, or changing your lifestyle.

(Back with more educating of the unwashed

and ignorant soon!)

Simplicity, Personified

Whether it's one moment, one night,

a few months of bliss, or a lifetime,

each man and each woman's body and soul

is theirs to follow and respect as they choose.

Fearlessness in the face of judgment and cruelty

is a noble path.

Following one's feelings is a beautiful thing.

Choosing to live free, rather than in hiding,

is courageous and trying.

'Losing your shit because other people

are living their own lives and not under your

control;' always a dick move, exclusively reserved

for Asshole Supremes.

(Isn't it ironic that with all their talk of love,

they continue to screech and condemn and bluster?
'Jesus' must not grant the peace and calm they claim!)

Tea Party: More Trouble Brewing

"It's all just a little bit of history repeating."

The following is an excerpt from an article entitled "It's Their Party:
How the Tea Party Sustains the Anti-LGBT Right" by Pam Chamberlain.

Article published by Political Research Associates' "The Public Eye" magazine.
(link follows excerpt)

The more things change....

Remember; bigots won't stop hating just because laws exist and social
view change on whole; they find more insidious means of practicing their
discriminatory nature, and they find ways to institutionalize bias..without
labeling it such.

Awareness is such a wonderful thing.

**************************************************************

The Christian Right, including both the Roman Catholic Church hierarchy and
conservative evangelical Protestants, has been the driving force in opposing
LGBT rights in the U.S. An effective infrastructure of grassroots organizations,
charismatic leaders, media networks, and consistent funding provided the scaf-
folding for this Christian constituency to join with other burgeoning social move-
ments in a powerful political force.

The rise of the Tea Party has reinforced the visibility and ultimately the electoral
focus of the Christian Right. While initially galvanized around issues such as lower
taxes, smaller government and national security concerns, about half of the Tea
Party identifies with the Christian Right. This overlap has helped reinforce a
political “litmus test” for candidates on so-called social issues like abortion,
sexuality education, and the place of religion in public life. Right-wing strategists,
and the candidates who follow their counsel, have targeted various groups such
as immigrants, African-Americans, and Muslims as opportunities arose.

The ideas that LGBT and homosexuality are threats to society were constructed
as part of its overall strategy to mobilize support based on scapegoating and
fear.[v] Ample historic precedence exists for blaming immigrant communities
of color for economic and social problems. LGBT people have been singled
out both because they are easy targets based on fear of the “other” and that
they represent departure from the idealized sexual norm.[vi] "
