  • IOWAN-STYLE GAY MARRIAGE COMES TO VERMONT: Activist legislators have introduced mandatory gay marriage in the seat of our democracy, the tiny rural New England state of Vermont. With heterosexual marriage officially Under Peril, we will leave it to Vermont’s judges to enforce the will of the people. [AP]

I’m hopeful for a Children’s Treasury of Freeper responses compendium so that I don’t have to actually, you know, go to that site.

Being that I live directly across The Lake from said Vermont I am heartily looking forward to boarding the ferry and gay marrying my heterosexual husband. Twice. Mandatorily.

Love the short, clauseless sentences – one to a paragraph. Either the AP is now hiring middle-schoolers to write copy, or someone was celebrating with the reporter’s business while he was typing.

Damn hippie Bennington libruls just had to go and get all buttsecksy in Montpelier. Truly, this is a portent of the end times, which will culminate with Zach Wamp and Piyush Jindal swearing their all-emcompassing love for each other.

Too cold for Christian haters. So, what is the number of states needed to hit the tipping point where the Feds will have to weigh in on recognition of interstate laws regarding civil unions?

NoWireHangers April 7, 2009 at 12:53 pm

Now Vermont is showing up California too? Ugh. Actually, this might be a good idea. If Bible Belt States really want to stick it to liberal elitist California, they should legalize gay marriage just to prove that they CAN. It’s just confusing enough to work. That’s right, Alabama, show how much better you are than California by legalizing gay marriage. You know you want to.

TGY April 7, 2009 at 12:53 pm

This is what comes from letting that rogue state …Iowa… legislate at will.

Serolf Divad April 7, 2009 at 1:07 pm

You make it sound like everyone in Vermont will be forced to gay marry. But that’s not true. That’s a gross exaggeration. That’s a misrepresentation of the new law. In fact, only Christians will be forced to gay marry. Muslims will still have the option of following Sharia law, which prohibits the practice.

Colander April 7, 2009 at 1:08 pm

But this shit is kinda good news for Repub politicians, because if gays can marry, then that’s one less reason to hate republicans, and one less thing separating them from Dems. Now all they need is to make sense in some way, and they could be back on top!*

*Not in the gay way.

The Cold Sea April 7, 2009 at 1:08 pm

Ha,ha California, now Vermont is more gay sexy than you, also. Maybe Vermont and its gay partner, Iowa, can adopt you.

Thanks for clearing it up in time.

Vermonters should be worried. I was straight married here in Massachusetts last year, and any day now I expect The State to break down my door and force my wife and me to get gay married to other people—possibly one of those ethics! I don’t know what to do, except pray that Mittens returns triumphantly to Boston to clean this mess up.

Okrahoma’s gay marriage-banning constitution saves me a ton of money. I refuse to give wedding gifts until the day my lesbian daughter can get married, legally. If everyone would adopt this new etiquette rule of mine, brides and their annoying mothers would be marching for gay rights, just to get all the expensive shit they register.

As far as its effect on life here in Georgia, this ranks with the French banning headscarves in public schools. Interesting, but not likely to have much effect on our lives, at least not until Nate Silver’s gay math turns Georgia gay in 2019.

Best Freep comment ever:

“I await the volcanoes, the tsunamis, the hurricanes and hopefully, the destruction of Vt and its pacifist secular socialism by the Lord. I actually do want it to happen with good Americans being protected as we see in the OT, when God protects believers that do good and trust the Lord. Since VT doesn’t seem to believe in the Biblical God or His standards, perhaps a nice lesson in humility would be a nice taste of God’s wrath. Oh I know, that is sooooo cruel.”

Really? Volcanoes, tsunamis and hurricanes? In Vermont? Or will god’s aim be a shitty as usual?
