More on the political front lines...
First, my apologies to Adam and Scott for not blogging about their wedding which is what everyone is fighting for the right to have. You are next up, my darlings!!!!
Next I give a Shout Out to Joe.My.God. whose blog everyone should read every day. He has all the LGBT news, gossip, and photos about what is happening. The Countess was reading Joe's blog and happened on this little tidbit from The Beastie Boys:
I don't know if you can read the questions from the picture but this is what it says:
"WHY?
IS SAME SEX MARRIAGE REALLY A BIG DEAL TO YOU?
WITH UNEMPLOYMENT AT IT'S WORST IN YEARS..
2 WARS GOING ON..
THE STOCK MARKET CRASH..
MILLIONS OF AMERICANS CAN'T AFFORD INSURANCE..HEALTHCARE..A PLACE TO LIVE..
GLOBAL FKN WARMING!!!
WHAT THE F#@K!?!
really..?
it's 2008 and this is what you're afraid of...same sex marriage...!?!
again I have to ask...
WHY!?!
This just struck me as so simplistic as to be genius.....WHY? We, as Americans, are facing drastic times. There are so many basic issues that we are all facing in our every day lives. We are all equal in our daily struggles.....straight, gay, black, white, arab, whoever...... WHY is gay marriage an issue today? I give you another of Joe's blogs to illustrate the sanctity of marriage by one of the most hypocritical enemies of gay marriage....Newt Gingrich.
From Joe's Monday, November 17th column:
Newt Gingrich Loves All Three Of His Traditional Marriages
"It's so laughable when serial adulterers defend "traditional marriage."Newt Gingrich: "I think there is a gay and secular fascism in this country that wants to impose its will on the rest of us, is prepared to use violence, to use harassment. I think it is prepared to use the government if it can get control of it. I think that it is a very dangerous threat to anybody who believes in traditional religion."
And I think if you believe in historic Christianity, you have to confront the fact. And, frank -- for that matter, if you believe in the historic version of Islam or the historic version of Judaism, you have to confront the reality that these secular extremists are determined to impose on you acceptance of a series of values that are antithetical, they're the opposite, of what you're taught in Sunday school."
Apparently what Gingrich was taught in Sunday school was how to commit adultery over and over and over and marry as many times as you feel like it. Hell, he even committed adultery while he trying to bring down Bill Clinton for, uh, committing adultery."
