The majority of voters decided to ban gay marriage, not one party or another. But in the grand scheme of things it’s an irrelevant issue.

Irrelevant to you, because you’re straight and cisgender. And it’s easy to go “majority rules” when you belong to a majority, and if your rights would be put on vote, you couldn’t lose.
And are we supposed to just take it as a coincidence how much opposition to LGBT civil rights, and Republican support overlap? Are we supposed to ignore how much the party is, in so many ways, trying to stop any advancement of LGBT civil rights?

You can certainly associate opposition to LGBT issues with the GOP but that doesn’t bother me. Economic issues are measurably more important. The economy affects more people. Is the right for gay people to get married so important that the will of the majority must be invalidated? Some rights are that important, but I don’t think the right to get married is.

You sir, are a cunt. Interracial couples are also a minority. If the majority of citizens in a state decided to ban interracial marriage in a state, does that make it okay? Does that make it an irrelevant issue? Does that make it none of your concern? You, as a citizen of a democratic republic, have the responsibility of speaking out when government makes the wrong decisions. There has only been one amendment that has ever been nullified and that was the amendment that prohibited alcohol. You can’t deny citizens basic rights, whether that’s what they choose to consume consensually or what they chose to partake in consensually. And I think that getting married to someone you love is far more important than drinking alcohol. You yourself said “Some rights are that important, but I don’t think the right to get married is.”.It doesn’t matter if you think it is or isn’t; it’s a basic civil right and, to echo Rachel Maddox, civil rights should not have to be voted on. You say marriage isn’t important to you, but let’s see how quickly you’d take that back if you fell in love with your dream partner and then was cruelly denied the right to marry (and all the benefits that come with it) just because you were a minority.

Why?

You worry about what gays do to the point that you want to legislate against them.

You first.

Seriously. In case you all didn’t know, this guy is a homophobic cunt. I’d love the chance to debate him.

Using the Bible to say homosexuality is immoral is like a Twilight fanatic using Bram Stoker’s Dracula to say vampires are real.

Illogical statements backed by fiction are even more illogical.

My friend’s parents sent her away.

I found death threats in my locker.

I submitted to electroshock therapy.

I lost half my friends after coming out.

My grandmother sends me hate mail.

My school won’t let me take my date to prom.

I am not here anymore.

My dad tried to beat it out of me.

No one is proud of me.

This showed up on my blog again. Forever reblog.

Having Gay Parents Is Weird! (by RWWBlog)

THANK YOU TEN-YEAR-OLD YOU HAVE COMPLETELY CHANGED MY OPINION ON THIS MATTER WITH YOUR PERSUASIVENESS NICE GLASSES BY THE WAY

also lol at the dads fighting while reading a bedtime story. like what?

This can’t be real!

Empirical evidence at its finest.

Seriously, do they really think this is anything but 100% fuckery?

Well dang, there were at least five adults willing to be filmed for this propaganda, and I don’t even know how many parents that were willing to subject their kids to it.

I’m not homophobic, but that little blonde boy’s a faggot.

Ellen DeGeneres’ new gig as a spokeswoman for JC Penney is just one component in the retail brand’s planned makeover, but not everyone is thrilled by the choice.

OneMillionMoms.com, a division of the American Family Association, is now calling for DeGeneres to be replaced by the Texas-based chain because she is a lesbian, Towleroad and other media outlets are reporting.

(via Ellen DeGeneres’ JC Penney Partnership Slammed By Anti-Gay Group One Million Moms)

Christian hate group led by a guy who thinks all the Nazis were a secret gay club is really concerned with commercial spokespeople.

If you don’t like Ellen Degeneres you are on my automatic side-eye list. Also, if you’re in any way related to the AFA. These moms are getting a double side-eye. FEEL THE BURN.

-Jess

Here’s a petition — http://www.thepetitionsite.com/1/Thank-JC-Penney-For-Ellen-DeGeneres-Partnership/

Support Ellen and J.C. Penney’s decision — screw homophobes and anti-gay individuals. All they do is spread hate.

Fuck Homophobia. Fuck OneMillionMoms. I love Ellen, she’s the nicest person ever. Go take a few seconds out of your day and sign this petition, please? :(
