Hey, did anyone hear? Republicans suck! But not, like, as bad as Democrats.
Or something.
Personally, I have retrenched over time from mild pro-"civil union" position to opposing ceding even that much space.
Nowadays, I would insist that we pass legislation that those wishing to be same-sex-married(1) be broken on the wheel(2) and their bodies quartered after death to be displayed in public as an example to all worthless PITA keening trouble makers.
Heck, if I'm going to be accused of violating human rights or some such nonsense, I might as well get some satisfaction and advocate for some
real human rights violations.
(1) While maintaining a live & let live policy for even the flamiest and outrageous homosexuals who have no intention of partaking in same sex marriage. The "Homer Simpson Doctrine."
(2) I think I may have read too many books on medieval and renaissance history, lately. Every other chapter someone is being flayed to death, burned at the stake, having red-hot crowns nailed to their heads, and such. The lucky ones merely have their eyes gouged out with hot pokers and sent to live out the remainder of their days in a monastery. And that whiny Clinton lawyer called Washington politics "blood sport."
Blast it all. I was so looking forward to marrying my horse.
Of course, of course.
