“These scumbag religious nazis” is right. This article gave me the chills when I read that they can round up and imprison a group of people. I see as a whole, the human race doesn’t learn too well.

I read this article, and I feel so awful for those poor Nigerian gay people who will suffer under these hateful laws. I feel thankful that I live in the U.S., and I think to myself, ‘That could never happen here…. Could it?’ After Proposition 8, and the outpouring of hate that supported it, I’m no longer so sure. It’s obvious there are many Americans who are perfectly happen to legislate religion and morality. And not just Mormons. It’s chilling to think about the kind of country we might be living in if they had their way. I find myself thinking about “The Handmaid’s Tale” by Margaret Atwood; that story posits a military coup that reduces the United States to an autocracy, but the truth is, a tyranny of the majority is entirely possible if only enough people, with enough money, decide to pursue a course that excludes or oppresses a given group of people.

The main purpose of the Minnesota Family Council is to use hatred of gays and lesbians to scare people into contributing money so Tom Pritchard (president of MFC) can pay himself handsomely without having to actually be accountable to anybody. It’s a money scam and it feeds on people’s basest fears. Completely disgusting.

If the California Supreme Court doesn’t destroy prop 8, it will be legal to put any initiative to the voters. I would be willing to support an amendment to the California Constitution that would ban certain religious, and zealot “pro-family” organization from being legally married in California. Don’t think for a second that it couldn’t happen! These scumbag religious nazis need their noses rubbed in their messes that they’ve made!

This comes as no big suprise. It is the stated goal of all these so-called “pro-family” groups to recriminalize homosexuality. They don’t want to just protect “traditional marriage”- whatever that means, they want us back in the closet and back in jail.

If “traditional marriage” is the ideal, then I want 3 or 4 wives that I own as property, can beat them as I please, rape them whenever I desire, etc., etc., as clearly stated in their precious bible.

While we’re at it, let’s bring back all those other great “traditions” from the olden days, like slavery, child labor, serfdom, whites only property ownership, etc.
