Utah man is on hunger strike to end gay marriages in his state

[RandySF]

A Utah man is refusing to eat until his state restores a ban on same-sex marriages.

Trestin Meacham, 35, has been surviving on water and the occasional vitamin pill since Dec. 21. Although he's already lost 25 pounds, Meacham claims he won't eat until all of Utah's counties stop issuing gay marriage licenses.

"You can start a blog and you can complain on social networks until you're blue in the face and nothing will happen but actions speak louder than words and I'm taking action," Meacham told 4Utah.

One day before Meacham began his fast with "no end in sight," federal judge Robert J. Shelby ruled that Utah's ban on same-sex marriages was unconstitutional.

5. Darwin in action

It would be unfortunate if he had a wife, even more so if he had kids. They'd have to live with his raging-homophobia-induced, long, painful, and drawn-out death.

6. If only all the rest of homophobic bigots would join him...

Don't give up, buddy! Try to recruit as many followers as you possibly can! Gawd is surely on your side!

14. LOL Funny! Thanks

[longship]

7. Send him never ending pizza deliveries.

Preferably from another religious lunatic, Dominoes.

It will serve him right, no pun intended.

8. Someone should tell him taking vitamens is against the

STARVATION diet rules. He should be disqualified. On second thought, shhhhhh.

9. Well, this gesture will be over by mid-March, at the outside . . .

[defacto7]

10. Well, that'll get God's attention....

or maybe the Mormons...

Mormons??? Oh, now that would be unfortunate.

11. I'll just repeat the mantra from a recent GOP meeting:

LET
HIM
DIE
!!!

LET
HIM
DIE
!!!

LET
HIM
DIE
!!!

12. K&R for the stupidity.

I doubt we'll read his obituary. Once he stops getting attention, he'll pig out on Chik-fil-A, Sustenance for the Righteous...

13. Let me see if I understand this ....

Meacham is so much against gay marriage and is showing his anger by starving himself? So what does he plan to do about a convicted child molester, Nicholas Simmonds], who four days after posting bail in one child sex abuse case of a young girl, molested another child? Gay marriage - no, child molester, yay sure?
