The D.C. City Council has finally passed its bill to legalize gay marriage, hooray! Mayor Fenty is expected to sign it soon. HOWEVER, while Father Congress is not expected to go all “Home Rule” and block this sucker, we’re about 99.9% sure that one congressman or another representing some salty swamp in the middle of nowhere will make a half-assed attempt to ruin this, score a few points with the folks back home, etc. [Washington Post]

In Memoriam:
“The vagina. Only one organ made can bring forth life. It’s the male organ. It’s not, in lesbianism, for the tongue of a female goes into the vagina of another female. It’s not in the male, where the male organ goes into the part of the body where the… the waste matter comes out of the body as poison, and he penetrates that part of the body in homosexuality. It’s not to be put in the mouth of the man, or the mouth of the man or the woman…. It is the male organ, penetrating the vagina of the woman, the male and the female.”
And soon after, Oral Roberts drops dead… Coincidence?
Never realized the blonde cake-topper in that photo was wearing red lipstick until now. But of course the blonde cake-topper in that photo is wearing red lipstick.
I can’t wait till Dicky Cohen opines on this.
[re=478951]Come here a minute[/re]: wow, that’s sheer poetry!
Mayor Fenty???? Wha?
What I love is that there are decent odds that republicans will try to kill this with fire.
Yay for state’s rights and local control and other things that a hypothetical party of “small government” might, in theory, be expected to be in support of!
This will be the first time I’ve had a chance to wear a wedding dress since Miss Adams-Morgan.
[re=478951]Come here a minute[/re]: Super hot! Is this the kind of talk that goes on in our nation’s monasteries and megachurches, rather than just Human Sexuality Departments?
[re=478951]Come here a minute[/re]: [re=478954]Toonces[/re]: The timing is just brilliant. That God… I always knew She had a great sense of humor.
Toonces, I was about to post the same thing. Consider my thunder stolen
The Rev. Anthony Evans, associate minister of Mt. Zion Baptist Church, said he and other ministers will not relent in their efforts to block the legislation. Led by Bishop Harry Jackson of Hope Christian Church, opponents of the bill have sued in Superior Court to try to force a referendum to define marriage as between a man and a woman.
How refreshing to know that whenever oppressed people are struggling for equality, there are religious leaders invoking arbitrary and senseless rules backed by an unfathomable claim to piety who are willing to do everything in their power to hold them back.
Does Pelosi have the ability to block or hinder an attempt to use “home role”?
It certainly helps to have a capital city that can be controlled by politicians who can score points with their votes by screwing the city.
[re=478965]mumblyjoe[/re]: States’ rights is all about the right of the states to have segregated schools, voting regulations that have the effect of violating the 15th Amendment, and banning interracial marriages though; when a state or quasi-state wants to grant more right to its people, though, that cannot stand.
Mitch and Lindsey can finally tie the knot!
Hey, the music stopped and I didn’t get my gay. Can we play another round?
[re=478951]Come here a minute[/re]: [re=478954]Toonces[/re]: ZOMG! He did die! I thought y’all were joking!
So now, will Catholic Charities pull out of all its DC contracts, as its been threatening? It would be super-awesome if some GLBA group stepped forward to assume their $67 million in contracts with the city.
[re=478981]Way Cool Larry[/re]: Hahahahaha! Sure took his time going home when called.
Just want to report that here in downtown DC, there have been no lighting strikes, no tornadoes, no earthquakes, no plagues of locusts or anyother signs of heavenly wrath — except I hear Oral Roberts has “kicked the bucket, shuffled of his mortal coil, run down the curtain, and joined the choir invisble.”
[re=478951]Come here a minute[/re]: Oral. Heh.
[re=478986]McDuff[/re]: He’s an ex-asshole, then.
[re=478986]McDuff[/re]: COme on, Pat Robertson!
[re=478986]McDuff[/re]: But he’s in no way an “ex-bigot.”
I’m just waiting for teh first gay marriage reception held in a medical marijuana dispensary. Now thats a score.
yay gays! I was totally rooting for you to get this win. Of course, in my homeland, Australia, “rooting” is slang for “having sex”…so…um…I stand by that.
[re=479001]Whiskeybaby[/re]: Good on ya!
[re=479001]Whiskeybaby[/re]: I always told my Aussie friends that yes, I do indeed root for sports teams. “Now you there, hot blond Australian chick – let’s get going! We’re down in the second half!”
[re=478982]snideinplainsight[/re]: You left out the “T” T people can do those things too!
You can have that same-sex marriage but forget about any representation, proper education, housing, or medical care. And don’t even think about any good jobs.
Crackhead, adulterer, tax evader, alleged stalker and city councilman, Marion “bitch set me up” Barry had the NERVE to vote against marriage. He is a scumbag, and so are the morons who keep him in office.
[re=479016]Dorje Chenpo[/re]: Don’t forget his latest top-ten hit, “You put me out in Denver cause I wouldn’t suck your dick.”
[re=478982]snideinplainsight[/re]: Oh those GLBTG groups would just want take over the Catholic Charities’ functions so they could recruit more kids to The Homosexual Agenda®. Which is of course is what the Catholic priests were doing too, only they made everybody feel dirty about it, so that was okay.
[re=479019]Come here a minute[/re]: “…cause I wouldn’t suck your dick” was one of the greatest Wonquette days evah.
Jesus Prepares to Receive Oral.
“setting off a wave of excitement in the gay community”
We miss all the fun stuff out here in the frozen midwest.
[re=478986]McDuff[/re]: I would add, Petworth is also intact (as of time-stamp who knows the future). Interesting I thought the religonuts would have gotten their angry/fearful god to fix us one by now.
[re=479016]Dorje Chenpo[/re]: And those are his good points.
Aren’t most weddings already happy events? Why would you make a law making weddings happy? And how can you legislate emotions? How can you legislate what’s happy, and what’s not happy? Next, they’ll be approving happy proms, anniversaries, bar and bas mitzvahs and confirmations!!
–Jeff Sessions, Alabama
By 1917, seventeen different states had voted to deny women the right to vote. Thank goodness the will of “many” did not outweigh the rights of the “few.” Hopefully we won’t need an amendment of supreme court decision to get some equality, but to have it here at home in our nation’s capital is pretty bangin’!

we’re about 99.9% sure that one congressman or another representing some salty swamp in the middle of nowhere will make a half-assed attempt to ruin this, score a few points with the folks back home, ^get caught polishing some guy’s knob, slink away in embarrassment.
Fixed that for ya.
[re=478971]SayItWithWookies[/re]: Nothing says an Orthodox Rabbi or AME Minister has to sanctify a same-sex union in his congregation — in fact, to impose that would be an undue imposition on religion by the state, in violation of the 1st amendment — so I don’t know why they complain. Effectively, then, this is a civil union legislation, in that any wedding overseen by a(n elected) judge is a product of the state, alone, & not in concert with a church or other religious order. (Such as the latter is the case when a marriaged licence is obtained from the state, with a subsequent (additional) ecclesiastic ceremony. But one need not the second for the first to be legit.) So, again, what’s the problem?
[re=479227]Long Form Def Certificate[/re]: They know it’s not an imposition on their practices and prejudices, but that doesn’t matter. Some of these idiots honestly believe that if the country condones gay marriage, The LORD
[re=479227]Long Form Def Certificate[/re]: …dammit, hit some key that hit the submit button by mistake. Anyway, they’re afraid god will punish the country. Some just pander to the lowest common denominator of their following, and some oppose it because they suck dick and think being against it will keep anyone from finding out.
[re=479039]Hedley Lamar[/re]: Haw!
This is just perfect. Now, all of the closet-case Senators and House members can make it legal. Hooray!
