Yep. I think it's great that we'll get the time from now until November with gay people getting married and the right wing will see that the world won't end.

I'm betting that whole "Rapture" email service is going to get some new business. Perfect timing. ;)

What if the world does end? Won't we all feel foolish then?

Time to buy stock in Food Processing Companies - people are gonna be buying a ****load of blenders...

Could be reminiscent of some nuts who gave away their worldly possessions and fled to the "Holy Land" just in time for Y2K. I remember watching the TV that night for the live report from that area, and pointed at the TV, laughing my butt off.

I can see it now - "Everyone! Git yer butts to the hills, cuz it's the end times fer sure, because them gays are getting married! Rapture's gonna happen fer sure this time! Its the sign I tells ya! And don't fergit to bring yer goats, because they'll try to marry them too!"

Never get angry at stupid people, for they provide some fun entertainment. ;)

There is at least one exception:

Quote:

Phyllis and Del
For decades, Del Martin and Phyllis Lyon were little-known outside America’s lesbian movement, which they helped launch in San Francisco in 1955.

That was until 2004, when a moving photo of their post-wedding embrace shot the couple to fame overnight. Longtime gay-marriage supporters and a then-brand-new mayor of San Francisco hatched a plan to make “Phyllis and Del” the face of same-sex marriage, as the first of more than 4,000 gay couples were issued marriage licenses in the city.

They correctly figured the couple, now in their 80s, would begin to bust stereotypes and bring new converts to the cause.

Now, virtually everyone in the gay community, and many outside it, refer to them simply as “Phyllis and Del.”

As they were during San Francisco’s 2004 experiment with same-sex marriages, the couple will be the first ones married in the city. At 5:01 p.m. today, surrounded by a group of 75 friends, family members, supporters and politicians, they will be wed at City Hall in the winter of their lives.

But that is a very worthy exception. From here.

Sometimes I think it would be best for all of use if we carved out a chunk of the US and gave it to the far right-wing religious folks, so that they can have their own little theocratic country to themselves. The south-eastern quarter of the country would be perfect – most of them will be able to stay right where they are. (But, we keep Florida… Disney World, and all that.)

Bravo. Yes, Kentucky, Alabama, Mississippi, South Carolina, Georgia and Louisiana are all yours. Have freaking fun.

Sorry. No one on the far left has ever tried to change the Constitution in order to make me a second class citizen. They can stay. :rolleyes:
