gay marriage

“I never thought of marriage as something only for men and women. But I’d never marry a guy I didn’t like.” — Willie Nelson, in this lovely little Texas Monthly interview, which you should trot off and read. Giddyup. [TexasMonthly / Amazon]

Predictably, the last two days of arguments before the Supreme Court regarding the constitutionality of Prop 8 and the Defense of Marriage Act have provoked the expulsion of considerable amount of fetid “analysis” from the usual assorted homophobes and angry virgins on the right. From Erick Erickson’s concern about a gay-led Kristallnachts against homophobic bakers, to [...]

BREAKING: Yr Wonkette is about to start petitioning Our Glorious Leader, the Editrix, to pay us by the word. Clearly it is the hot new arrangement in blogging, because nothing else explains the fact that Megan McArdle consistently writes approximately 1 million words per post, and all of those are words that make no sense. [...]

Last week, we had some mean namecalling for Ohio Senator Rob Portman. We were all, Rob Portman: Fuck That Guy. It was particularly trenchant, and well-said! But now the newest person to all of a sudden have seen the (big gay disco ball) light is a Democrat, so it is a totally different thing, and [...]

Why does the Washington Post #WAR on Easter every year? Why does it forget that Jesus Is the Reason for the Season? We bet they even call it “spring break,” like a bunch of fucking pagan Wiccan lesbian abortionists, instead of Jesus Died For Your Sins And On The Third Day He Rose Again Vacation. [...]

The Supreme Court yesterday heard oral arguments in Hollingsworth v. Perry, the Prop 8 gay marriage case. It was to be an intriguing day for observers of the anti-gay movement, because when you go before the Supreme Court, you are not allowed to use arguments like “gays are gross” and “Jesus does not like this,” [...]

Yesterday, as even your grandmother’s Myface picture turned into that equal sign, you might have been under the false impression that the possible end to the embarrassing prohibition on equal marriage rights was a “good” thing. You might believe that the sputteringly awful arguments of the lawyer supporting Prop 8 indicate that even the bigots [...]

Are all men (we will not even discuss the ladies right now) created equal except the gay kinds? Or does American Jesus want us to uphold the sanctity of Newt Gingrich’s three marriages? These were the questions considered by the Supreme Court Tuesday morning. (Kind of; we are paraphrasing just a little.) The justices haven’t [...]

Bryan Fischer, Spokesweasel for the American Patriarchy Association and notorious power bottom, has a novel idea about the sudden popularity of all these gay people having rights as if they were actual Americans or something: He thinks that the only reason teh gheys have been making political headway lately is that Americans have not heard [...]

Roe v. Wade, guys. Roe v. Wade. I know you’re probably shaking your head sadly at the mere mention of that travesty, because even if you support a woman’s right to choose when she gets to grow a baby inside her belly, you probably consider it the worst decision ever decided by the Supreme Court. [...]

Republican senator and Vietnam-deferring uber-patriot Saxby Chambliss doesn’t care how many of his fellow Republicans, like Ohio Sen. Rob Portman, come out of the closet to support equal rights. Saxby isn’t going to change his mind, because he is NOT gay. Repeat: He is NOT gay. When asked if his views had changed on gay [...]

How could we have been so blind? Skateboard punk rocker folk singing lefty Michelle Shocked was right, y’all: gay marriage really has ended the world! Well, maybe it hasn’t ended the world. But it has officially ended straight marriage at one church in North Carolina. So we guess we should have been listening to Maggie [...]

A Republican did a good thing today, guys. In a story that came out mere moments after midnight, it was revealed that Ohio Sen. Rob Portman is now in favor of gay marriage. It’s true! He didn’t always feel that way, but he’s been thinking a lot, and talking to a lot of folks, and [...]

As you found out a few weeks ago, we are on the Family Research Council’s mailing list. And as we found out yesterday, they are still doing that fun thing where they can look at polls and say, “Nah, that’s not the real thing that is real, we are going to make one up.” We [...]

New American hero Mike Frey isn’t just an ordinary “concerned Minnesotan.” He is also a husband and father, so you can understand why he is so concerned about this gay marriage thing. He’s agin it and he wants to make sure Minnesota lawmakers are also agin this “gay marriage.” See, married people have sex. Like [...]
