SSM decision causes victim culture temper tantrum | 'gays will demand all participate in sex w/them'

There's a giant victim culture temper tantrum coming from the Christian right

Opponents of marriage equality are raising all kinds of dire scenarios about how marriage equality will usher in an era of vicious discrimination against Christians, who will face all sorts of outrageous punishments for merely upholding their religious beliefs. But when they say discrimination and punishment, they're really talking about basic consequences, which many on the right feel they should be exempt from.

It's true that some religious people and institutions will face choices:

First Amendment protections for worship and clergy are clear. Potential conflicts could arise, however, over religious organizations with some business in the public arena. That category ranges from small religious associations that rent reception halls to the public, to the nation's massive network of faith-based social service agencies that receive millions of dollars in government grants.

But those very scenarios make clear that what we're talking about is facing basic consequences. You're a religious association that doesn't want to rent to an LGBT wedding? You don't have to, but you might have to give up renting to the public. You're a faith-based social service agency? Maybe your internal policies will be incompatible with government grants. The thing is, this isn't a disproportionate penalty. It's a basic consequence.

As marriage equality was argued before the Supreme Court:

(Justice Samuel) Alito noted the high court's 1983 decision to revoke the tax-exemption of Bob Jones University in South Carolina because it barred interracial dating. Alito asked if the government would take such action against religiously affiliated schools that oppose same-sex marriage. [Solicitor General Donald] Verrilli said, "It is certainly going to be an issue. I don't deny that."

It just gets sillier: Pastor says gays will demand you participate in sex with us

There have been so many ridiculous responses to the Supreme Court ruling on the side of marriage equality, it would be quite the challenge to pinpoint the stupidest of them all. The Who's Who of right-wing crackpots seem to all have a bet going to see which one of them can make the most outlandish, perverse statement against all this gay marriage having. I believe we may have a real contender for top prize in Arkansas pastor Tim Brooks.

. ...

His voice rising to fever pitch, Brooks asserted that America has gone the way of Sodom and Gomorrah. He then leaps to the logical conclusion that gay people will be coming to your home, dragging you into the street, bending you over and having at you with lusty gusto.

1. Lusty Gusto!

That's what I expect from my beer. Sex, too, so it applies equally.

2. "Pastor says gays will demand you participate in sex with us!" Is this pastor

trying to reveal something about himself he has managed to control. Saying that IMO indicates what's on his mind.

[riversedge]

4. the pastor has a high opinion of himself. ha ha. Who would want to

--much less even think of engaging in sex with bagger bigots!

[stevenleser]

6. Yeah, see downthread. LMAO! nt

[arcane1]

7. Is it a warning, or a future excuse?

[Solly Mack]

3. Preacher man need not flatter himself.

5. Here is a pic. Everyone should do their best to hold themselves back from attacking him

I am sure all women and LGBT will have a tough time resisting this guy

[Solly Mack]

8. Never seen him before but it's his hate that makes him unattractive.

Hate is ugly. Inside and out.

It seems to me that bigots spend an inordinate amount of time obsessing over sex. Who's having it. How much. With whom (or what). Down to the type of position. To spend that much time thinking about other people's sex life, you'd have to stay in a constant state of agitation - and envy.

It's that constant state of agitation that worries me. You know they act out eventually.

9. They are always obsessed with sex. I would love to see a psychological workup on this

guy. It would be very revealing. They really need to be called out for the perverts they are. They are perfect examples of psychological projection.

10. I would not have picked my great aunt's 1970s bathroom wallpaper to wear at a function

That is incredibly offensive.

And, of course, the speech was bad, too.

11. This is just another variation of the Ugly Bigot Delusion:

the UBD consists of the idea that gym-bodied, easy-going and well-groomed gay guys secretly lust after a run-down, overweight, prematurelybalding hetero guy with bad body hygiene and a permanent grump on his face. Yeah, probably not sir...
