MARRIAGE IS UNDER ATTACK!!!!!!!!! What are you doing to prepare?
Edited on Tue Jul-18-06 04:40 PM by ih8thegop
I just heard the solemn proclamation from the 'Religious' Right:

MARRIAGE IS UNDER ATTACK!!!!!

If we as a society fail to prepare adequately, gays and lesbians may be allowed to marry people they love!!

So what are you doing to head off this vicious assault on Republicans' right to divorce a member of the opposite sex?

1. I have an emergency bag packed in case I have to go live out
in the wilderness to survive — with just a few moment's notice.

9. Hey, I was gonna say that!
Make sense, right? At least in a fundie kinda way. If you're not married, you cannot be under attack. :shrug:

10. I keep trying to tell them
that the only ones who can threaten my marriage are my husband and myself. My -32- year marriage is as likely to be threatened by the neighbor's poodles who had a wedding ceremony before they mated as it is by my lesbian niece and her partner or any 2 gay men that want to make a committment.

Why is is that committment is better than promiscuity unless you happen to be gay and then you don't have the option for committment so you get labeled promiscuous anyway? (forgive the grammar, I couldn't figure out a less convoluted way to say it)

3. Marry? Or civil union?
Note how THEY pawn it off as 'marriage' yet the bills they sign also include "CIVIL UNIONS".

Either way, the gay community hasn't convinced me we are deserving. Forgive me, my candid thoughts, and don't forget I am in the GLBT camp. Technically a B while prefering G, the G's don't want me (I'm tired of getting laughed at so I tend to stay out of things. )

14. Well, my husband and I know some gay people
so we figure we're already goners. Might as well have as much sex as we can before our marriage totally disintegrates due to our association with the evil queers. :evilgrin:

15. Fetchez La Vache!
You English all are buggerfolk
Your mothers all are ruggerfolk
Your army is a bloody joke
You couldn't beat an artichoke

If battle you choose to renew
We'll taunt you 'til you all turn blue
We turn our asses as you part
In your direction we all fart!

27. You Know That Panic. . .
. . .is how your immnune system falls and the gay germ gets you. That will ruin your marriage for sure. (That VERY SCARY gay germ.)

But, if you stay calm, duct tape the doors, and duck and cover, you will be just fine.

22. I'm post-marital-attack. Don't care who is gay or not, and...
don't care who anyone marries or not,
and will happily stay single until I die.

Love is not a color, shape or size,
but it is elusive.

24. I'm hanging my Thomas Kinkade paintings in every room
and filling my shelves with Precious Moments figurines.

If that fails, I'm stripping nekkid and running wild in the streets ...
