proposition 8
At Roberts’ confirmation hearings, one of the members of his family that he introduced to the Senators was a cousin named Jean Podrasky. [...] Podrasky is gay, as Roberts knows, she says. She lives in San Francisco with her longtime girlfriend. Would she like to be able to get married someday? “Yes.” Has she ever [...]
Cindy McCain was allowed to be part of the NOH8 campaign because she was sort of part of the 2008 election, we guess, the election in which Proposition 8 was passed. So she thinks gays should have some rights or whatever, even if her husband doesn’t because he will say anything to stay in the [...]
Oh, God, can you even believe that more primaries are happening? When will America’s suffering end? Today’s victims are in Washington state and Wyoming. Washington has a savage, out-of-control “jungle primary” that will almost certainly result incumbent Democratic Senator Patty Murray facing off against Republican Dino Rossi, who lost the last two gubernatorial races. In [...]
So you know all the jokes that your The Onion and other liberal satirical publications make about gay marriage becoming mandatory once it’s legal? Well, laugh it up, everybody, because this nightmare scenario is now coming true, in Gayifornia. It seems that Judge Vaughn Walker is now literally ordering gay marriage opponents to go get [...]
There is really nothing going on today. We suppose we have to post a thing about Palin saying Obama is “in over his head.” WAIT, NO, HERE IS SOME INSANE ROBOT THING WE FOUND ON YOUTUBE. That’ll do. Same thing, basically.
Senate Democrats and Maine’s two Communist Republican ladies voted to give money to the states, hooray! This means that state governments won’t have to lay everybody off. Olympia Snowe said that “this should be sort of the final down payment,” which means that…the Federal government now owns the states, having bought them on the installment [...]
Breaking news, Slate transgendered children! The U.S. District Court in San Francisco has ruled that California is now a tolerant state again. “In a 136-page ruling, Chief U.S. District Judge Vaughn Walker sided with two same-sex couples that challenged voter-approved Proposition 8, which embedded a ban on gay marriage in the California constitution and wiped [...]
You probably just assumed that Elana Kagan has been on the Supreme Court for months, stone cold legislating from the bench and making everyone have gay abortions without their guns or whatever, but in fact she still has to be confirmed by the full Senate. Is this a thing that will happen? Probably! The New [...]
Ha, remember way back in 2008 when the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, a tax-exempt religious organization based in Utah, poured a bunch of money and volunteer labor into the campaign that got gay marriage banned in California? And remember how a lot of people who were sort of startled when the [...]
IS GAY MARRIAGE A THREAT TO OUR CULTURE? “If you haven’t noticed, gays make most of our culture. They write our teevee shows and Broadway musicals and even books, for those who can still read. They are the world’s entertainers, designers and bloggers. And nothing threatens the creative spirit — which God gave primarily to [...]
PROPOSITION 8 UPHELD: Sorry, gays. Existing same-sex marriages will stand, but nobody else can get gay married. Until 2010, when this will doubtless be on the ballot again. [San Francisco Chronicle]
Hey gays, you like Nate Silver, yes? He is a vanquisher of angry cursing wingnuts and the sexual mentor to a hot new generation of polynomials. That’s two things to like! In an interview with Queerty he talks about numbers and gay things by explaining why we should blame the passage of California’s Prop. 8 [...]
