The morms toss us a bone

Everyone is crowing about historic it is that the mormons now agree to NOT discriminate against gays in basic protections.

How generous of them!

"The church supports these ordinances because they are fair and reasonable and do not do violence to the institution of marriage," Michael Otterson, the director of public affairs for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints said."


This makes me feel condescended to. Maybe I'm just becoming increasingly embittered but quite frankly, granting "commonsense rights" isn't much of anything.

It highlights their bigotry that it's SUCH a major step forward for them to simply acknowledge the obvious.

Really, I hate them.





Screw 'em

I read this last night and couldn't even wrap my brain around how offended I was by this. It's impossible for me to actually form a cohesive sentence.

Flames...Flames...On the side of my face...

I don't trust them as far as I could throw the whole damn lot of them.

But what about all the heteros they don't discriminate against who actually DO violence to the "institution of marriage" as described by the Mormon church? Oh yeah, they still get the rights we don't.

"do violence to the institution of marriage"

Not sure why, but this phrase really makes me giggle.

I am so sick of these Mormons and their anti-gay bigotry. I wish we'd all stop sleeping with them. That would show 'em.
