quick little queer pride moment to make up for missing Neil Gaiman
1) Being gay is not natural. Real Americans always reject unnatural things like eyeglasses, polyester, and air conditioning.
2) Gay marriage will encourage people to be gay, in the same way that hanging around tall people will make you tall.
3) Legalizing gay marriage will open the door to all kinds of crazy behavior. People may even wish to marry their pets because a dog has legal standing and can sign a marriage contract.
4) Straight marriage has been around a long time and hasn't changed at all; women are still property, blacks still can't marry whites, and divorce is still illegal.
5) Straight marriage will be less meaningful if gay marriage were allowed; the sanctity of Brittany Spears' 55-hour just-for-fun marriage would be destroyed.
6) Straight marriages are valid because they produce children. Gay couples, infertile couples, and old people shouldn't be allowed to marry because our orphanages aren't full yet, and the world needs more children.
7) Obviously gay parents will raise gay children, since straight parents only raise straight children.
8) Gay marriage is not supported by religion. In a theocracy like ours, the values of one religion are imposed on the entire country. That's why we have only one religion in America.
9) Children can never succeed without a male and a female role model at home. That's why we as a society expressly forbid single parents to raise children.
10) Gay marriage will change the foundation of society; we could never adapt to new social norms. Just like we haven't adapted to cars, the service-sector economy, or longer life spans.
Can you smell the sarcasm? Please post this in your journal if you are for gay marriage.

And as a sidenote to it? I missed the Neil Gaiman signing today but here is a movie file of him talking about the possible sequel to Good Omens. What does that have to do with gay marriage? Well, according to him, at the end of the book Aziraphale and Crowley settled down in a cottage on the South Downs, and Neil's one of those lovely authors who don't mind slash. *smirks* Enjoy people, I'm out for the night.
And would you like to hear what he said at the Pfeiffer Hall signing?quantum_witch was lucky enough to speak with him and has the following tale to recount:
Then he opened the first book I’d brought, which was American Gods. He was quite happy to sign something special at my request. I’d chosen to mention a specific page number, which he then of course sought out and chuckled at. “Ah yes,” he said, “the scene with Salim and the ifrit.” Looking straight into my eyes he continued, “That was a fun little scene to write,” and grinned. I grinned back saying, “Fun to read as well.” He went on, looking back down to sign the book, “So you’re a slasher then, are you?” I laughed, “Only sometimes.” He chuckled again."
In case you don't know, that scene involved sex between a male demon posing as a taxi-driver and a customer of his. Very, very cool, but non-explicit of course.

T___T *hugsclings* Go figure, I'll be preoccupied for the weekend with relatives. Well, love, I hope you sleep well and sweet dreams.... I hope you feel better...
Umm... I really need to look up on this Good Omens @_@ Really, really.
Love you *reads this*

Two questions!
Do you have the icon made, and may I friend you? ^^
no subject
And nope, icon is not yet made - I'll need my laptop back for that with all its nifty graphics programs and no, I don't mind if you friend at me at all. ^_^ Think of me as your handy left-wing political guide with a healthy dose of humor and RP/fandom talk every so often.

Since I saw it on another's LJ, and posted this, thought you'd get a kick out of my smartassishness
*gasp* Whatever shall we do!!!! NOT THE DREADED C WORD!!!!!!!!! NOT THAT! ANYTHING BUT THAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!
9) Children can never succeed without a male and a female role model at home. That's why we as a society expressly forbid single parents to raise children.
I knew there was a reason parents stayed married even though they were completely miserable... I JUST KNEW IT!
8) Gay marriage is not supported by religion. In a theocracy like ours, the values of one religion are imposed on the entire country. That's why we have only one religion in America.
Dear God,
Save me from your followers.
Much respect,
Sorsha

What is this 'tolerance' you speak of? I know not that word. I'm -looking- in the dictionary. No. It's not here. Sorry.
6) Straight marriages are valid because they produce children. Gay couples, infertile couples, and old people shouldn't be allowed to marry because our orphanages aren't full yet, and the world needs more children.
To Quote Joe Rogan: *goes cross-eyed, gets a really high pitched southern accent* FAMILY!
5) Straight marriage will be less meaningful if gay marriage were allowed; the sanctity of Britney Spears' 55-hour, just-for-fun marriage would be destroyed.
Well.. There went the neighborhood, Bob.
Yeah, Joe. Means I have to pretend I don't like Girl on Girl porn.. *sigh*
4) Straight marriage has been around a long time and hasn't changed at all; women are still property, blacks still can't marry whites, and divorce is still illegal.
There's that change thing again.. GOD STRIKE THE CHANGING NONBELIEVERS DOWN!!!
3) Legalizing gay marriage will open the door to all kinds of crazy behavior. People may even wish to marry their pets because a dog has legal standing and can sign a marriage contract.
We simply can -not- have the non-normals of society be happy.. It's not natural!
2) Gay marriage will encourage people to be gay, in the same way that hanging around tall people will make you tall.
I swear Mom! I was only around her for a minute, I didn't think she was ...GAY!! HONEST!! *runs off crying*
1) Being gay is not natural. Real Americans always reject unnatural things like eyeglasses, polyester, and air conditioning.
Damn them God. This change thing is getting out of control! They can't do this to us! We pray every day for their souls, but forget about our own soul when we condemn them!!! We sacrifice ourselves in Your name Oh Lord!!!!!
