Castle's rant on CA prop 8. I now pronounce you nothing.

He's got queer smushing on his brain?

That msnbc video clip brought up an interesting point.... Following a U.S. Supreme Court decision in 1967, mixed-race couples were permitted to marry.
shit, that was basically yesterday.
How about some affirmative action for miscegenation and what ever 'ation' it is for same sex marriages?

This is just so friggin ridiculous!! I got into an argument with an attorney (staunch Rep./Soc. Conserv.). My mother is his secretary and we work in the same building and I was over at their office showing her my vacation pictures. "Sam" noticed that I had gone to Key West for Fantasy Fest (had a fucking BLAST!!!!) and started off on yet another of his rants about how gay marriage will destroy "traditional" marriage. I had had enough. I've known this man for 30 years and for the most part we've had fairly respectful sparring sessions about politics, but he's really off the rails about "teh gheys" and I've explained to him that I have family that is gay and very close friends that are and that I really hated how he spoke of them and to please not do so in front of me. Whoo, runon sentence.
Anyway, for some reason it really got under my skin so I went off. I told him that it wasn't "the gays" fault that he was so fucking insecure with his own sexuality or marriage that the fact that two guys marrying in California was going to either turn him gay or make him get a divorce. I point blank asked him "Sam, as long as no strange men are randomly trying to stick their dicks in your ass, what the fuck do you care what they do with their own lives?" Mom ran out of the room (she hates confrontation) and Sam didn't know what to say. I was still seething when I got back to my office so I did a GIS for "gay porn", copy/pastaed some of the most offensive I could find and sent him an email.
Yeah, probably not the wisest or most mature response but I was pissed and I doubt he'll make those remarks in my presence anymore.

Please don't take this the wrong way, but considering who your mother is (the person who left you in program, let your dad terrorize you) her politics are not suprising, somehow.

Anne,
Thank you for doing what you did. Living in TX, I hear that kind of shit all the time. My life is endless stickers that say "W" or "Family...". During this election I heard so much nonsense. If you try to argue with these guys they shout over you. A person who was one of my closest friends and I really got into it. It has become a really sticky situation with him. It is as if it is nice that you are a lesbian, but the Bible says....
The Bible Belt is one tough place to exist. The East Coast was an easier existence, and I want to move back there. I have had enough of conservatives! iamartsy
