Bigots! Bigots Everywhere!

First, the Good News…

This past week Vermont legalized same-sex marriage. Vermont is the first state to do so through the legislature instead of through the courts.

This comes on top of the legalization of gay marriage in Iowa a few days earlier. In Iowa it was achieved by a unanimous ruling of the state supreme court.

Las Cucarachas No Like The Gays

And so what has happened since?

Well, the religious people have come out of the woodwork like fucking cockroaches. They’ve all got their panties in a bunch because of something that affects them in no way whatsoever!

The Pink Mafia

First, there’s this article by some crackpot named Michael Savage.

He says that last year’s political effort to legalize gay marriage in California was driven by the “gay mafia”. Mafia? Where? All I see are guys going to Wet Underwear Night at Flicks, and fat bald chicks walking around holding hands with other fat bald chicks. Not a Soprano-style guido-guy in sight.

Then again, calling a group a people a “mafia” without reason is bigotry. And maybe expressing that bigotry is the whole point.

Savage goes on to say that these legal developments “come as a result of the election of Barack Hussein Obama”. He was sure to put the “Hussein” in there so you can associate Obama with a middle-eastern terrorist-- apparently these religious people never miss the opportunity to take a cheap and bigoted shot.

And then this about Obama: “He’s being very cleverly used as a tool of the gay puppet masters. He is personally masculine, has a beautiful family and was used by the gay mafia to convince real American families that they should support him.”

You know what? Calling people “puppet masters” is just as bigoted as calling them a “mafia”. And insinuating that Obama’s masculinity and beautiful family were taken advantage of by these said puppet masters is doubling down on the bigotry.

“The Link Between Gay Marriage and Mass Murders”

It seems that the religious people are not content with simple “mafia” and “puppet master” bigotry.

Morality in Media’s Robert Peters wrote this article “connecting the dots… between gay marriage and mass murders”.

You know what even associating gay marriage and mass murder is? Yes, you guessed it. More bigotry.

Oh, wait… at the end of his piece he claims that he’s not making the claim that he, ummm, just made:

“It most certainly is not my intention to blame the epidemic of mass murders on the gay rights movement! It is my intention to point out that the success of the sexual revolution is inversely proportional to the decline in morality; and it is the decline of morality (and the faith that so often under girds it) that is the underlying cause of our modern day epidemic of mass murders.”

Mr. Peters: You really are stretching it, aren’t you? You just put gay marriage and mass murder together and then you add these weasel words because you can’t stand fully behind your original proposition! It seems that even you yourself realize that you are a bigot!

This Next One Is Right Out of the Nazi Playbook

OMG! Look! The religious people did a reinterpretation of Triumph of the Will:

The dark clouds… the lightning… “the storm is coming”… This is so full of bigotry through every line and every image and even the whole set up.

These Religious People Are Immoral

These people don’t have a monopoly on morality just because they consider themselves “religious”.

Their bigotry and unwillingness to let others live in peace is WRONG. In fact, it’s reflective of moral failure.

That’s right-- these assholes are being called out for their immoral bigotry by a fucking porn blog!

Let’s Take The Opportunity

My fellow wankers, let’s see this an opportunity… it’s an opportunity to claim “morality” back from those who abuse the term.

These religious bigots think they get to define what’s moral and what’s not.

But we are more evolved. You and me, we are existentialist, postmodern, thoughtful people… We know more than they do. We have experienced more than they will. We have invested in living this life rather than some fantasy after-world that will never come to me.

“Morality” is more open to definition by us rather than them.

I think we need to remember that.
