OH MY GAY!!
Back to politics.
Looks like Texas has come down with Gay Fever! Texans will vote on Proposition 2 on Tuesday. The State of Texas Proposed Constitutional Amendments page has the quote:
"The constitutional amendment providing that marriage in this state consists only of the union of one man and one woman and prohibiting this state or a political subdivision of this state from creating or recognizing any legal status identical or similar to marriage."
They offer a brief explanation (as if this .. whatever .. mindless redneck Texas rebel flag wearing separatist .. can I buy a modifier .. needs one:
"HJR 6 would provide that marriage in Texas is solely the union of a man and woman, and that the state and its political subdivisions could not create or recognize any legal status identical to or similar to marriage, including such legal status relationships created outside of Texas."
They have come for the jews.
Do not *even* dismiss this as a liberal fag-friendly rant. Queers have long been a haven for sexually secure, yet for some reason unavailable single heterosexual women, making them unavailable in various bars, restaurants, and night clubs - but more on fag hags and their cockblocking sisters later.
We're supposed to have an intelligent, progressive culture here. I've got one issue with it: Gay couples do not have the same legal rights as straight couples. Specifically, a gay man's .. husband .. partner .. whatever the proper term for it is .. can not have his .. wife's .. health benefits at work. This is simply a social injustice that has existed for years and must now be corrected. In order to do this, we need to make it easier, not more difficult, for companies to offer same-sex health benefits to their employees.
This law would make it more difficult. So you have three choices:
1. Vote Yes on Proposition 2. You will effectively ban homosexual civil unions and continue the shameful practice of allowing companies who do not value their gay employees to receive the benefits their heterosexual coworkers are given. You hate fags, you toothless redneck son of a bitch. Fly your rebel flag, Jethro. Fly it proud.
2. Vote No on Proposition 2. You may not like or dislike fags. You may have no opinion on where a man puts his penis here on Anyhole Island, or you may find arsefiching really quite distasteful. Who knows? Who *cares*? A vote against Proposition 2 is a vote against prejudice, that is, a vote against the government legislating the conditions required for prejudice to thrive.
3. Do nothing. You're not gay, so why do you care? What difference does this make to you? Think about something you value, something that you love. Now think about the government offering up an amendment to the constitution making it perfectly legal for someone to deny you that thing you love, whatever it may be. This is different, you say? Not remotely. You think that by not speaking, you are not being heard, and therefore your lack of opinion will go unnoticed. Trust and believe, the silent majority does more harm to this country than any vocal minority (and vocal people are a minority, no president in recent history has been elected by a majority of the population because the majority don't vote). They came for the Jews, and you were not a Jew. Turn the oven on, you sympathizer. Put it on "broil" and stick your head in. Go find a bumper sticker that says "Don't Blame Me, I voted for the Other Guy" and replace the "Voted for The Other Guy" with "sat on my ass drinking Budweiser and watching NASCAR and didn't vote, because it didn't concern me."
If I had my way, NASCAR would be outlawed.
Kiss my fat ass, Texas. I, for one, *do* care, and I will be voting NO on Proposition 2 on November 8th. Even if I didn't care, I would still vote NO.
Texans, send a message to your state. THOU SHALT NOT LEGALIZE HATE.
End of discussion.
