KOTV - The News on 6: "Nearly 4,000 people turned out for a pro-marriage rally Tuesday night in Tulsa. People from more than 60 congregations came to the rally at the Union Performing Arts Center. " Let's say it out loud shall we? Gay hating. I didn't go to the rally. I thought about it for about three seconds and decided that I had better things to do. Blog, for instance. I wish people would just stop dancing around the issue with phrases like "traditional marriage" and "between a man and a women" and just say what they mean: "We don't want gay people to get married, because then they might have sex and kiss and uggghhhh... sin! We'd much rather prefer that they stay in the closet or be all self hating about it." Sheesh people, be proud of your prejudice! Its the twenty-first century, if you're gonna act like you're from the nineteenth at least do it with style. Commit! Dress up in some pilgrim outfits, churn butter, burn people at the stake, chase witches. Have fun with it. Play games. Have a dunk tank all decorated with flames and water dyed red and you can take turns dunking your sons and daughters who have come out. I know it makes hating people feel all warm and fuzzy when you dress up in a suit and tie, load the kids up in the minivan and listen to some nice preacher talk sweetly about "protecting traditional marriage" but its still gay hating. "This all started as a dream of several pastors some months ago to do something positive in the community about what we agree on and we agree on marriage being between a man and a woman." Something positive? A dream? I have a positive idea, a dream even... let the gay people decide for themselves. They don't really need a bunch of straight people gathering at a local high school to decide what's best for them. What next, a bunch of white people sitting around deciding what's best for the blacks and the native Americans? Oh wait... they did that too? New Headline: 4000 People Out of Touch with Modern Reality. No doubt you had the local crop of assholes pretending they are speaking for God. I told a friend last night on the phone that sometimes I feel like I'm living in one of those Saturday morning cartoons and my mission is to sneak to the top of the nearby mountain and destroy the transmitter that is brainwashing the city. Only there is no transmitter. Just churches. And its gonna take more than a couple of kids, a dog, and crazy white haired scientist to wake up this city. Pro-Marriage? What kind of sick self-deception is that? Its the kind you get when saying what you really mean makes you sound like an asshole. |
