Caroline Musgrave gave a telephone interview on MSNBC today and said she hoped changes in the definition of marriage would be left up to the people and not to judges. That's rich, considering roughly 90% of the American people opposed interracial marriage when the Supreme Court threw out laws which said it couldn't be "one white person and one black person."
Dear old Dubya is finally
backing a Constitutional amendment which would define marriage as between one man and one woman in the United States.
It's good to see him finally go public after weeks of being "troubled," pissing off his conservative base by not speaking out more strongly on the issue, and making assurances behind closed doors that he'd stand up those awful old activist judges who believe discrimination is wrong.
It's not a bad day's work for a president who has yet to use the words "gay" or "lesbian" in public. I know he has problems with "nuclear," so maybe Dick Cheney's lesbian daughter can help him with pronunciation.
The Musgrave Amendment making its way through Congress does more than define marriage; it also cuts out state-sanctioned "domestic partnerships," "civil unions," or any other legal recognition of committed gay relationships.
Congress needs to work fast before all us faggots get even more uppity.
I'm sure this will give us plenty to talk about at tonight's
PFLAG meeting.
