Right wing snits hit the fan about marriage equality expansion

http://www.rightwingwatch.org/content/religious-right-reacts-scotus-gay-marriage-decision-unconscionable-unconstitutional-and-un-a

Those of you wondering how long it would take the religious right to lose their shit over the expansion of LGBT marriage rights, can collect your betting pool wins now. Bryan Fischer, Mat Staver, the Family Research Council and the National Organization for Marriage all issued statements condemning the Supreme Court's refusal to hear cases against marriage equality. Meanwhile, happy people in many states began to file marriage licenses.

time of it persecuting others, for fun and profit, the negative forces in life, those making earth a hostile place and environment for all they can. They, are the disciples of hell! I imagine Putin will chime in soon.

working themselves into a snit about something that has less than zero effect on their own blighted and sorry lives. It would be a hoot to see their heads literally explode.

They can leave in a huff, and if that's too soon they can leave in a minute and a huff.

If that beach in Hawaii is named for President Obama, watch for the same entertaining shit-losing from the usual suspects.

The delicious thing about marriage equality is that the reason the Supreme Court didn't grant cert is that so far there aren't any conflicts between the Circuits. Every federal appellate court has ruled the same way. If a circuit votes in favor of marriage discrimination, then the Supremes might have a reason to get involved. Sadly for the bigots, the lame pleading and legal rationales of their lawyers don't give even this Supreme Court much to work with in the way of overturning the marriage equality decisions.
