North Carolina Bans Same-Sex Marriage and Civil Unions

[Northern Dominus]

For anyone who thinks that the banning of same-sex marraige, that discrimination against LGBT HUMAN BEINGS is somehow justifiable, click the link below.

Watch it, take in the story. Then look at yourself in the mirror and tell yourself it's ok. If you can then you are a monster, period. This is the toll of Amendment One and legislation like it. This is what you are doing to fellow humans with emotions, needs and wants by being short-sighted and as monstrous as possible.

Amendment one does not discriminate against LGBT, they still have the same rights as everyone else.

Bullshit.
Banning marraige for certain human beings means denying them the benefits that other couples enjoy. Hospital visitation, death benefits, tax benefits, these and other rights and legal benefits that marraige provides are denied to LGBT human beings.

Plus it's a blatant slap in the face. The amendment basically states that North Carolina doesn't recognize the fact that LGBT people love and care for another in the same way that everyone else does. It denies them that bit of humanity.
This is no different than racist laws restricting interracial marriage in the 1960s.

Your failure to recognize Amendment One as such is shameful.

So no, wrong, Amendment one is bigoted, prejudicial, and strips away rights for a certain specific group of people.

It was banned prior to the passage of this legislation, yet this is an ammendment to their constitution banning the practice.

And 29 states have done this. I think it's clear that most Americans:

(1) Believe that civil marriage should be a union between one man and one woman;

(2) Believe that state courts should not substitute their own beliefs for the will of the people.

Oh really? (1) http://www.gallup.com/poll/154529/Half- ... riage.aspx

(2) Since marriage is the combination of economic and interpersonal assets and a declaration of commitment between two individuals into a legal relationship (and has been that way in non-christian countries and before christianity was introduced), I don't see how this is the beliefs of the state court only.

No no, you miss the point! It isn't discrimination if you support it!

[Desperate Measures]

I'm guessing you're not going to get a response.

Doesn't matter, I could probably guess what it would be anyway.

I'd think of some sort of joke imitating what it would be but I think it would make me lose my lunch. And I want to keep that.

Oh? What did you have? I had a so-so frozen thing, because I forgot to take the spaghetti and bolognese I made last night. I need to get more sleep.

The will of the people can go fuck themselves if that's what they truly believe.
Also, I want some sauce for the claims you're making.

Technocratic Cybernated systems FTW.

Kind of ashamed but I had a hot pocket.

What was that? I can't hear you.

Say that again just a little louder.

Oh, nonsense.

This law is no worse for gay people than the Bachmann Doctrine of herding them into camps and gassing them, or the Santorum policy that they be biologically reclassified as coyotes so they can be hunted with only a valid small game license and a picture of Ted Nugent in your pocket.

Gays should just calm down and realize we pass laws on them for their own good.

Just like we did with the Native Americans...

Just like we did with the Native Americans...

As my history books told me: we "subdued" the native Americans.

Oh yes, because it's just silly to object to some jerk on a big horse waving a cavalry saber that tells you to move "Or else". Why would you POSSIBLY want to take up arms and resist that after all?

[Terio]

Now we sit and wait for the protests.

Exactly. Now we're subduing the gays. Next we'll heard them into small densely packed pieces land, on the coasts and away from the God Fearing center of the country. A few of their leaders will be accidentally bayonetted in transit, of course, but that's just statistically unavoidable.

[Nidaria]

I support this legislation one hundred percent. If every nation and region enacted this, we would be one step closer to world peace and harmony. I do pray that North Carolina stands firm against the liberal tide.

So you're not a Christian, and you hate America and the principles upon which it was founded.

Thanks for letting us know where you stand.

Okay, this is just a suggestion. Not putting anything in stone here. Just my two cents:


Before we kill at the gay people by riding them down on horseback cavalry uniforms and glinting steel blades...

....can we have them design the uniforms?


If I'm going to wear a cavalry uniform, I want to look good.

[Astrolinium]

The regular book just gives the impression that we totally made it up to them and everything's fine and dandy now even if we messed up in the past.
But you probably took APUSH.

Right on. I strongly suspect Christ attended quite a few gay weddings. They were constantly running out of wine, after all...

I know, blue on blue and feathers are just SO unfashonable now. And green or tan camo? Ick.

What we need are bold bright patterns!

I need to call my gay stylist friend Martin, he'll know how to whip up a fab uniform for all!

I hope it's the north east, because my family is sitting on some valuable east coast land, and I'd hate for anything to happen to the property values.

[Hammurab]

Now we sit and wait for the protests.

But if we all sit down here and do nothing all together, they might think we're the protest.

[Astrolinium]

Especially if any of us are in Greensboro.
