[DRoseDARs]

Meanwhile...

Good, God-fearing heterosexuals, who can do no wrong, continue to shower the Institution of Marriage with dignified reverence:

Yes, it really is atrocious when the parliament twice makes a decision in favor of gays.

It kind of makes me wish the parliament was elected by the people, you know?

May Ohio nuke itself.

That sort of thing would get me to watch C-SPAN

There's always Ohio for you, Ben.

Plenty of Amish people there, too, that live back in the time of the Old Testament

I must have missed the news that the Liberal Party has banned elections.

Not anymore than it is with Hasidic Jewish peoples. The Amish are stuck in a century that very definitely post-dates the Old and New Testaments.

Actually, the Amish are closely related to the Mennonites. Just a stricter interpretation on seperating oneself from the world.

They have yet to affirm gay marriage.

There's a big difference between making a decision that gay people like, and between affirming gay marriage.

The Catholic school, which encourages its students to live according to Gospel values, is none too happy with Coy's willingness to get hitched on TV for a million bucks, per local papers.

Just because other people like to beat up strangers, does it mean you should go in and join them?

[DRoseDARs]

Yep, that describes your efforts to defend your bigotry to a "t." Not long and you'll round out the "r" and "y" too.

Every time I hear about a state passing one of these laws, I think about that governor shouting "segregation now ... segregation forever".

These guys are saying the same thing and will be remembered the same way.

(1) How about the principle of "mind your own ****ing business"? I don't want "the people" having a say in who I (or anyone else) marry. No, really. Mind your own ****ing business. You shouldn't get a damn say.

(2) Amend your constitution to prohibit it. If the people really feel that strongly it should be no problem. My guess is that "the people" really don't care overall - their minding their own business (see (1) above).
