Where’s the Storm We Were Promised?
Conservatives and the Right

Remember? “There’s a storm gathering. The clouds are dark and the winds are strong and I am afraid.” This was the widely mocked anti-gay marriage commercial for the National Organization for Marriage put out in 2009. “But some who advocate same sex marriage have not been content with same sex couples living as they wish,” the spot continued. “Those advocates want to change the way I live. I will have no choice. The storm is coming. But we have hope, a rainbow coalition of people of every creed and color are coming together in love to protect marriage.”

That “rainbow coalition” has been hard at work trying to convince Americans that gay marriage is a threat. It will hurt children! That if we give same sex partnerships legal recognition it will destroy opposite sex partnerships. Then once straight marriage is obliterated, according to right-wing bloviaters, everyone will marry their cat/horse/dog/child, have sham gay weddings for benefits and people who publicly denounce sodomy will be prosecuted.

This is the foretold storm: hetro-singles, bestiality, pedophilia and JAIL for homo-haters.

This week, by default of its inaction, the Supreme Court made gay marriage a reality in five more states. Same-sex nuptials are now legal in a majority of these United States. Last year they overturned key provisions of the Defense of Marriage Act and this year they punted. So consenting adults can have their love recognized throughout most of the country. They also get to use the word marriage. It’s not separate but equal; it’s equal (unless you move to the southeast).

1. They're praying on it (and also taking your donations in amounts of $25, $50, or $100).

[Fearless]

2. It rained for the first 238 years of this nation's existence...

Pretty soon all will have equality under the law and the rainbow will appear and the storm will be over.
