"Defense of Marriage"... defend it from what?

[jmondine]

Domestic abuse? Misogyny? Lack of communication, self-awareness, empathy, compassion?
No.
Defend it from what other consenting adults do in their own privacy.
You. Have. Got. To. Be. Kidding.

1. From teh Gay, of course.

[madeline_con]

3. Yep. Lame, isn't it? n/t

[Skittles]

5. teh gays and their evil agenda

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

2. We should defend it from the likes of Ensign, Vitter......

.....Craig....

[omega minimo]

4. from an open and honest discussion of how traditional gender roles affect individuals and society

6. Bob Barr, who wrote and sponsored and campaigned on it, has been married 3 times.

I wonder which of his marriages he was hoping to defend.

[Autumn]

[MessiahRp]

7. It should be called the Defense of Bigots act...

Since the only people being defended are anti-gay bigots.

8. That's always been my question.

Maybe a married couple in Kansas will decide to get divorced because a gay couple in Massachusetts, whom they will never know nor hear about, is allowed to get married?! :wtf:

[MADem]

9. No, silly. From STATISTICS!

The DOMA people are afraid the gay marriage stats will be better than the fifty percent failure rate of opposite sex marriages.

And how will they reconcile that with the teachings of Leviticus?

Oh, the HORROR!!


I guess I'd better whip this out for people who don't quite "get" it: :sarcasm:

[NanceGreggs]

10. ...

You.Have.Got.To.Be.Brilliant.

jmondine: Combating idiocy with common sense, in thirty words or less.

11. It's Defense of a Tax Advantage and Spousal Benefits

Fundies only want tax advantaged status for what they claim are "true" families (boy + girl+ offspring). All others should file individually and have to get their own darn benefits....

...darnit!

[DefenseLawyer]

12. Teh Gay have big plans...

groups of them driving around in unmarked panel trucks snatching up unsuspecting straight guys right out of our marriages. It's already happening in Iowa. The gay controlled media just won't report it. Wake up people.

[ashling]

14. John Ensign

:rofl:

[lindisfarne]

15. Allowing gay marriage will mean the gay lifestyle will be validated which will mean their kids

will rush to embrace satan.

Easy, see?

Plus, see, marriage and sex is all about procreation and that's why they never use contraceptives or allow women to marry past the age of 40, or have sex after that age. And oral sex - gasp - never.
