Now We Know What Caused The Earthquake
Apparently gay marriage is responsible for yesterday’s earthquake along the East Coast. So says Rabbi Yehuda Levin.
Levin, who is involved with NOM (the anti-marriage equality group), claims that the quake, which was centered in Eric Cantor’s House district, was retribution from G-D.
“The Talmud states, ‘You have shaken your male member in a place [...]
Prop 8 Supporters Define Marriage Through Children
For all you married people without children… you don’t have a “real” marriage.
Those supporters filed their first brief on Friday. In it, they argue that marriage is inherently defined by the ability of heterosexual couples to procreate.
“The essential question in this case, then, is whether such unions [opposite-sex marriages] possess distinguishing characteristics that are relevant [...]
Texans Living In Sin?
This is too funny.
Barbara Ann Radnofsky, a Houston lawyer and Democratic candidate for attorney general, says that a 22-word clause in a 2005 constitutional amendment designed to ban gay marriages erroneously endangers the legal status of all marriages in the state.
The amendment, approved by the Legislature and overwhelmingly ratified by voters, declares that “marriage in [...]
An Old Dog Learns A New Trick?
Senator Arlen Specter today called for the repeal of the Defense of Marriage Act in Huffington Post reports The New York Times.
The time has come to repeal the 1996 Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA). Enacted 13 years ago when the idea of same sex marriage was struggling for acceptance, the Act is a relic of [...]
Live Free and Watch Gay Marriages
Same-sex marriage legislation has been sweeping the country with New Hampshire as one of the latest to go “queer”. That said, I think the situation has kind of gotten out of hand in the Granite State.
Less than two weeks after legalizing gay marriage in the state, New Hampshire legislators enacted a new law Tuesday making [...]
A Very Great Day
Maine’s House votes to approve same-sex marriage. This passed the Senate already so I think that this goes to the Governor for signature.
DC’s City Council votes to recognize same-sex marriages from states that allow them. It becomes law if Congress does not overturn it.
Conservatives Are The Reason Support For Gay Marriage Is Rising
Conservatives are becoming hysterical, and their rhetoric proves it.
“The NOM has argued that it is not a homophobic organization, but Card’s remarks suggest otherwise. Card, who represents the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints on the board and received an effusive welcome last week from NOM president Maggie [...]

Gay Thought of the Day
Studies show that angry male homophobes probably have deeply hidden homosexual urges. So next time you get in a argument with a Radical Right man who is hung up on “the gays”, have pity on the poor soul as he probably hasn’t really accepted his true sexuality.

Today’s a traveling day for me, but if you’re looking for inspiration check out DV’s imagine if you changed one word post here, DelawareDem’s posts and insightful analysis here and here, ‘Bulo’s whale of a tale here as well as his thought provoking post about Lincoln, and Jason’s Republicans are the butt of the joke [...]

Thursday’s Open Thread
As I get ready to visit an old rat whose fondness of children is too Jacksonesque for my taste and his friend, a mumbling duck who is a bit too comfortable with his sexuality, I present to you Thursday’s Open Thread.
In case you didn’t stop by Delaware Liberal yesterday, you missed us taking down the [...]

Wednesday’s Open Thread
Yesterday, we had our first successful open thread with some good discussion and links from our readers. Well done, people, well done.
For a starting point, some posts yesterday that you might have missed are that a Republican actually stood up to Rush Limbaugh, Kris Kristofferson is kind of cool and Vermont legalizes it (gay marriage) [...]
Vermont Legalizes Gay Marriage
And overides a veto to do it!
The Vermont House of Representatives passed the bill by a 100-49 vote after it cleared the state Senate 23-5 earlier in the day. In Vermont, a bill needs two-thirds support in each chamber to override a veto.
Look at those numbers. That’s not a slim margin, that’s the writing on [...]
The Times They Are A Changin’
I expect to see gay marriage and marijuana legalized in my lifetime. (I really liked typing that sentence.)
I’ve been feeling this way for quite some time, and, luckily for me, Nate Silver does the math.
Nate on gay marriage:
Unsurprisingly, there is a very strong correspondence between the religiosity of a state and its propensity to ban [...]
Quote of the Day II
Backstory: Iowa goes gay.
We have a constitutional duty to ensure equal protection of the law. If gay and lesbian people must submit to different treatment without an exceedingly persuasive justification, they are deprived of the benefits of the principle of equal protection upon which the rule of law is founded.
- Supreme Court of Iowa
Last Chance To Stop The Hate – Call Every Senator, Tell Them To Oppose SB 27
SB 27 made it through committee on a 3-2 vote, and there’s good news and bad news. Apparently they’ve amended the language of SB 27 so that it doesn’t apply to Civil Unions. The good news is that this proves that a bill legalizing Civil Unions could pass through even Venables’ own committe, as long [...]

For David Anderson
David Anderson, a staunch defender of his own impenetrable asshole, is afraid that seeing homosexuals living together freely will turn him into a phallus-obsessed man-slut. If a gay-married couple moved in next door to him, Anderson fears he will suddenly be filled with carnal desires that will leave his anus in shambles. He testified today [...]
