It’s one thing for the Bigots (as I will refer to them from now, even the fence-sitters, because if it’s not the life you choose for yourself, it’s none of your business to be taking it away from others) to use fear-mongering tactics to imply that homosexuality

a) is a disease (that WILL get your children)
b) is a moral wrong, not to be condoned by the state and
c) will lead to extinction of the human race.

It’s quite another thing for them to be using framing about the rights being taken away from Gd-loving straight folks. Protect marriage. Save marriage. From what? duh.

And then I see shit like this, where they bring in McCarthyism: http://www.busttheblacklist.com/ Saying that companies that chose to support the Yes on 8 Campaign are being harrassed and are in dire need of our patronage, to show that we support their dirty money-injecting tactics. Fuck that!

More fun from Nation for Marriage:

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.

‘Rainbow Coalition’? Are f-ing serious? That’s OUR symbol! Bastards.

And what does gay marriage have to do with doctors? Maybe being forced to let hospitalized folk be visited by the ones they love, even if you think its gross? Your faith should have nothing to do with your practice, doc. Sorry to say.

UPDATE: So the case actually had something to do with a doctor who refused to artificially inseminate a gay lady. I’m now reading the background on this video and it makes me laugh to tears.

Here’s a good one:

“parents of young elementary school students objected to curriculum and class room discussion meant to inculcate in the children the idea that there are no differences between the marriages of men and women and those involving same-sex couples.”

Hmm, differences? What differences? Could it be that most straight marriages these days are not living up to their historical expectations, while gay marriage is perhaps motivated by something more genuine? Blame divorce. Blame the condom for breaking. Blame Disney. Blame the individualistic American free spirit. Don’t blame the gays for that. Don’t even go into biology, it’s pretty much a fact that there is evidence of homo- and bisexuality in the animal kingdom. Don’t talk about the one thing that fits in the other thing… we don’t need marriage to do that! AND, it’s a well known fact that after a few years of marriage the sex stops anyways, right? (ha!). So.

And another:

“But some who advocate for same-sex marriage have not been content with same-sex couples living as they wish.”

As they wish? They wish to get married, dumbass. I mean sure, gay culture is gay culture and people have the right to assimilate into the mainstream or define themselves otherwise. That doesn’t give you homo-haters the right to ostracize us.

Ok, ok, last one, promise:

“Those advocates want to change the way I live. I will have no choice.”

umm, yeah. you will have no choice but to stop living in your tiny bubble of fear and ignorance. I’m not trying to sound like Gavin Newsom here, but gay marriage is inevitable. It really is. And that’s all that’s giving me hope these days. The thought that our country can support love over fear.
