Vermont begins equality

Same-sex marriages have officially begun in Vermont. All monuments still stand, children are just fine, and no storms have ravaged the Ben & Jerry factory.
Maine is currently facing possible discrimination by the will of many of its Christians. One of the primary groups pushing for bigotry is the Maine Family Policy Council. You can [...]

The pride of bigotry

These are some of the wholly ignorant individuals who are seeking to overturn Maine’s same-sex marriage bill before it officially becomes law. They’re actually proud of themselves. It’s gross.
Bob Emrich is a hateful, stupid man. He has absolutely no idea that he’s actually advocating for discrimination against himself. He thinks homosexuality is icky or perverse [...]

Only a matter of time

Teachers in Florida can now officially use the word “evolution”.
For the first time, teachers can say it, they are now being taught how to handle this controversial subject.
The word evolution appears in student’s textbooks.
But when teachers get to that chapter, they say it’s always been a juggling act — how to teach evolution, without actually [...]

Bob Emrich

Bob Emrich is a major bigot and a danger to the well-being of Maine and the good reputation of Maine. Of course, he is one of the hateful Christians seeking to invade the secular nature of Maine law to deny people the right to marry on the basis of gender. He also says dumb things [...]

Obese sex is unnatural

Sex with obese individuals is unnatural, not intended by God, and thus wrong and immoral.
People are naturally attracted to healthy individuals. The obese are definitively not healthy. It follows, plainly and clearly, that any attraction to these people is a sexual perversion. Furthermore, those who are obese are gluttonous and thus sinners.
As a [...]

Maine legalizes gay marriage; society fails

Maine legalized gay marriage today. Oh, the humanity! Buildings are crumbling outside. Fish are coming up dead in the lake out back. People are dying. Animals have rabies. I saw an old guy fall. There’s a pot hole in the road. It’s all over, folks! Grab your canned beans and flashlights and hunker down. It’s [...]

Let’s make it simple

The gay marriage issue is not about sexual orientation. I’ve said it again and again. It is about sex. Here is the best explanation why.

Straight man + straight woman = marriage
Straight man + gay woman = marriage
Straight man + gay man = no marriage
Straight man + straight man = no marriage
Gay man + gay man [...]

Vacuous

Joseph Reisert of Colby College recently wrote a tremendously flimsy, unballsy, muddling, vacuous, dumb piece about gay marriage in the local paper.
If you are sure that gay marriage is wrong, you need to listen to what same-sex couples have to say about their lives, their families and their relationships. Whatever your religion may teach about [...]

What gay marriage is about

There’s this insipidly stupid argument floating around conservative (i.e., non-thinking) circles. It’s that gay marriage is all about children and societal security. This argument is designed to knock down the position that gay marriage is a civil rights issue.
Societies have a vested interest in the welfare of their children because they are the future of [...]

More victory

The conservatives get knocked down – hard – and all of a sudden, bigotry starts to peel away.
Vermont on Tuesday became the fourth state to legalize gay marriage — and the first to do so with a legislature’s vote.
The House recorded a dramatic 100-49 vote, the minimum needed, to override Gov. Jim Douglas’ veto. Its [...]
