It’s never anything except “protecting” families by not letting gay people have them.

That’s because they are not trying to protect actual real-life families, but rather are trying to protect their definition of the word ‘families’. To them, words are magic, actual people are nothing.

Who would intentionally alienate about half of America (the percentage that now favors marriage equality)? From the religious standpoint, he – like Billy Graham who had a photo-up last Monday with a bag of Chick-Fil-A – is a garden-variety bigot.

My childhood was extremely confusing because I grew up in fundie culture, yet instinctively have always understood that rights aren’t zero-sum. I didn’t understand why ideas like “equal rights” and “sharing” were so hard for other people to understand.

Hel, I still don’t, sometimes.

It’s not about protecting heterosexual, nuclear, one-income families; it’s about treating all people–straight or LGBTQ–as people, with human rights and dignity, and if you’re not doing that, you’re not pro-family at all. You’re anti-“Those People.” And it’s really tiring to have to keep redefining “Those People” as the boundary between Acceptable and Unacceptable changes with time.

Touche! And God put dinosaurs in the earth as a test of faith!

Wait a minute, why are we dealing with this shit? Because those ass holes know that somewhere, someone is having fun and they have to put a stop to it.

Bedtime. Wake me when sanity returns.

Oh, you have free will, alright (at least according to some of them). You have the free choice to accept Jesus as your personal savior OR the guy from the National Lampoon will shoot a cute dog, Errr, I mean… accept Jesus as your personal savior OR burn in hell for eternity.

Easy peasey!

That is really the “failed social experiment” that has been foisted on everyone for so long. That is why they try to prevent bullying programs, and encorage “don’t say gay” programs. They really hope that if they stick their fingers in their ears and sing loud enough that they won’t have to deal with the world changing around them. Even if that is demonstrated by their own children.
