I have been stewing a wee bit today about the outcome of the Maine vote.
From the ABC News Story:
Mary Lou Narbus, a 51-year-old mother of three from Rockwood, Maine, told ABC News she’s pleased Question 1 prevailed in rejecting same-sex marriage. “I believe that marriage is for a man and a woman… and I don’t believe that [gay marriage] should be taught in school, period,” she said.
Seriously? Legalizing gay marriage will lead it to be taught in school? It’s all just more lies about how equality for gays is going to lead to homosexuals indoctrinating children into the “evil lifestyle.”
The best thing that I can think of to saw about the whole thing right now is “Fuck you, Religious Fundies and your churches.”
Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups. It’s going to be a long hard fight because the other side has a very powerful weapon in their arsenal; the fear and ignorance of the American people.
Welcome to god’s own country. Let all american gay, lesbian, transgender & queer… vote together to legalize hetero-marriages,…. wait, calling this insane? Bigottery has a name, you name it, you live there my poor ol’ friend.
Greetings from the old continent, Rob
