The Sound (and Smell) of Desperation

21May08

Chances are slim-to-nonexistent that you’ll read about me strolling down the aisle any time in the foreseeable future — I’d much rather enjoy living in sin than pursue the legal benefits of wedded bliss with my Gay Male Lover for now, thanks — but I’d have to be annoyingly, knee-jerkingly contrarian to oppose it for others who’ve decided to take the plunge.

The fallout from the recent California legal ruling (overturning the ban on same-sex marriage) has resulted in some particularly desperate (and hopelessly stale) arguments from the wingnuts of the Religious Right. By this time, even the most staunchly apolitical among us can effortlessly counter their tired, brain-dead posturing. C’mon, try it for yourself. See if you can watch this without mentally annihilating the insipidities without breaking a sweat:

It’s amazing how desperately they cling to their “moral fabric of society blahblahblah” and “redefining marriage blahblahblah” and “foundations of society blahblahblah” bulshit, isn’t it?

That this woman tried to link gay wedding to polygamists in that way shows that she must’ve been grasping at straws for something, ANYTHING to give her some footing on this particular argument.

I almost feel sorry for the way she has her points shredded to pieces on this show.

i think i saw a dark root in that perfect peroxide jobbie on miss wendy’s head.

saw this when it aired — also saw ellen’s announcement the day she made it.

the closeups of portia, who was in the audience, kinda gave me the warm fuzzies.

i have no intention of marrying another man, but i’ll stand in solidarity with those who do.

They don’t even know WHAT they’re holding on to anymore.

There are consequences for others! A poor wittle church got sued successfully because they wouldn’t perform a gay marriage! CONSEQUENCES! SOCIETY IS FALLING APART! Polygamists in Texas are just like gay marrieds because…um…prarie dresses? Gag me. Also, hasn’t that bitch seen Arrested Development? I’D marry Portia di Rossi if she wanted me to, and I’m societally labeled hetero.

I did dig the Night Rangeresque background music that rocked out with its cock out during the whole intro segment, though.

Please, KerstinMSD. Gay marrieds in prairie dresses? As if.

The brain boggles as the extreme stupidity of people like that woman. Not a single logical word could be found in her sputtering tirade.

Gah.
