I think people are outrageous liars about equal marriage.
Advertisements [?]
The religious bigots have been trying to convince everyone that their ONLY objection is the word Marriage. Marriage implies religion and they should have a right to practice their homophobic religion. Marriage has religious roots, and they dont want tolerance to mix with those roots etc.

However, this is just pure horseshit.

They do not want to give us rights. Rights legitimize us and they want us to stay illegitimate. They want us to suffer from internalized homophobia, depression, anxiety and hosts of other issues that people who grow up as outsiders and are reviled suffer. They do not want us to have any chance of happiness and any legitimacy.

This is not about marriage vs civil unions.

This is about legitimizing us in ANY form.

Therefore I do not think we should bother believing these liars and settling for civil unions. It will be as hard to pass those as to pass marriage. Do not believe these liars. Do not think civil unions will pass. They will be just as hard and these fuckers will fight us just as hard on civil unions.


For proof I cite these articles:


NM partner bill dies in Senate: http://www.365gay.com/news/nm-partner-bill-dies-in-senate/

Idaho LGBT rights bill dies in committee: http://www.365gay.com/news/idaho-lgbt-rights-bill-dies-in-committee/

All 5 LGBT bills die in Utah: http://www.365gay.com/news/all-5-lgbt-bills-die-in-utah/

Hawaii Protests Gay Civil Unions: http://www.digitaljournal.com/article/267897

And a quote from RNC Chairman Michael Steele when asked " Do you favor civil unions?”

GOP Chairman Michael Steele No, no no. What would we do that for? What are you, crazy? No.Why would we backslide on a core, founding value of this country? I mean this isn’t something that you just kind of like, “Oh well, today I feel, you know, loosey-goosey on marriage.”
