Sometimes, the most determined homophobes stick to their claim that same-sex marriage is a threat to “traditional” marriage to the point where I start to wonder if they really do believe it. But really, the only way you could really believe that is if you or your spouse is a closeted gay person, and the escalating social and legal support for gay rights is making the closeted spouse antsy. It happens and has happened, over and over again: A deeply closeted gay person is waiting, usually subconsciously, for just the right level of social acceptance, and then when it happens, boom! They leave their opposite-sex spouse, put their real name on that Grindr account and start singing the praises of freedom. If you have one of these marriages, then yes, same-sex marriage may very well be a threat to your opposite-sex marriage. Other than that, however, you are full of shit. And even then, you should be ashamed of yourself for living a lie.

On a completely unrelated note, Michelle Bachmann said this about the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn DOMA: “No man, not even a Supreme Court, can undo what a holy God has instituted.”

Nancy Pelosi was asked to respond, and as Neetzan Zimmerman notes, her two-word response was perfect: “Who cares?”

I think this is exactly the response we should all have on hand when homophobic bigots start in on their wailing horseshit about “traditional marriage”, but I can understand why you might get a little tired of saying “who cares?” over and over again. We all want to mix it up, lest our mouths freeze in that position from saying it so much. So, with that in mind, I have compiled a set of responses we can all use interchangeably when dealing with anti-gay assholes who think anyone gives a fuck about their disingenuous caterwauling about “traditional marriage”.

5. This ruling WILL help usher in fundamental US social changes.

Society was already moving in the fair direction, but this ruling makes it clear to Congress that you were all a bunch of homophobes to have passed that bigoted piece of shit legislation, DOMA, and I don't see it happening again.

Additionally, our relationships are no longer artificially second-class - they are EQUAL to heterosexual ones. Thus, our government will be supporting gay relationships in the same ways that it has traditionally supported heterosexual ones; I think it's kind of overwhelming to think about just what that will mean for the future, in a good way.

Obviously, is you are a xtian fundie, those changes will be ominous.
