An attempt by homophobic Republicans to impose a constitutional ban on same-sex marriage has died in the Senate.
I haven't seen the actual amendment, but I've read every one of Andrew Sullivan's blog entries and heard Rosie O'Donnell's entire commentary aboard the Lesbian Love Cruise, so I'm well informed on the issue. Apparently, the bill would have tore down the wall between church & state, installed Pat Robertson as Supreme Ruler, imposed a taliban-like fascist theocracy on the masses, and sent all homosexuals to the gas chambers. Furthermore, it's fucking impossible to get a decent margarita on this fucking boat, and if you don't get out of my sun I'm going to pop your pretty little blonde head like a zit. Yes, you! Do I stutter?
Thankfully, there were a few brave Republicans in congress willing to stand up against the Christian Coalition's Crusade of Hate, and leave the fiddling with the Constitution where it belongs - in the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals.
Larry, you do crack me up! Keep it coming. And, no, that's not a pun.

Great, that opens the door for Kerry and Edwards. BTW, I noticed that neither of them had time to vote - what, don't they care about homosexual rights!?!? Or were they too busy groping each other on the campaign jet?

The gay marriage amendment was a flaming homosexual? Somebody set a homo on fire? I'm ok with that. Homos make a good firestarter for a nice roaring book bonfire.

I think you mean "fags" make good firestarters, Bad Commie. A "fag" is a small bundle of sticks.
The right-wingers often use them to set homos on fire.

Another righteous win, Liberal Larry, and thanks for the Rosie moment! Congress isn't going to stop us from buying his and his towel sets for wedding gifts, and those Christian creeps can't stop judges on our two left coasts from revolutionizing American culture.
One thing, though. "Taliban-like fascist theocracies" are fine in my book. Everyone I know got nude in Berlin and protested Bushitler's war on the Taliban in Afghanistan. All of the peace activists I've screamed and shoved with support Iran's noocular mullahcracy because those dudes over there overthrew the American puppet shah a long time ago and are campaigning for Kerry in November.
Muslim religious overlords have that medieval sense of culture going for them. Were they to burn homosexuals at the stake as they threaten, it would only be an expression of their tradition and ideology and nothing like Bible riled Republicans trying to keep marriage a man-woman thing in our country. God, I hate fundamentalists. They're such throwbacks.

The sad truth is that this is pretty much how Sullivan sounds now.

Only a taliban liberal would try to make a meaningful distinction between homos and fags. I expected no less from you.
