Run for your life! The storm is coming!



Uh.... huh? I think we're going to need some evidence to back up all this fear-mongering.

Can we just give people equal rights in this damn country already? It's 2009. You'd think we would have learned by now. Of course not.

Separation of church and state, remember that little part of our democracy? Stop using religion as an argument to deny people their equal secular rights. No one is asking you to let gay couples get married in your church. Stop the nonsense. As soon as you have to resort to a religious argument for something that should be a secular matter, stop. You lost. Remember... you hate theocracies (well, at least you do when they are Islamic theocracies).

Also, read a little bit about the history of marriage to realize why all of these arguments about marriage being this eternal un-altered institution are all bunk. No one is trying to teach your kids to be gay or coming into your house to "get gay" with you and your family. These same people fighting virulently against the government allowing gay marriage and civil unions are the same ones who are constantly preaching about how the government should have less control over our lives. Can someone say Dissociative Identity Disorder?
