Rant on Homophobes, Take 8,938,476:

[desalete]

I've just been reading about Proposition 8. For the benefit of those of you who have been living beneath rocks for the past several months, it was a proposition that appeared on California state ballots seeking to eliminate the right of same-sex couples to marry-and it succeeded:


Absolutely revolting.

On many issues I can be persuaded to "agree to disagree," but on this I won't mince words: If you oppose homosexuality, you're a fucking stupid asshole. I wouldn't care if otherwise you were the coolest, most intelligent human being on Earth; I would, will, and do look down on you if you feel this way. If your petty hatred would mount walls before the love of two consenting adults, you're an absolutely despicable excuse for a human being. Here's why:

It's none of your goddamned business who others take as lovers.
Aside from providing you with a few minutes' worth of gossip with friends, just how in the fuck does it affect your life if Jimmy a dude you went to high school with has a boyfriend? Not at all, and if it does, stop being so fucking pathetic and mind your own merry fucking business.

They're not going to just fucking go away.
What do you think, that every gay person on Earth is just going to sigh sadly and say, 'Well, shucks, guess I can't marry someone of my same sex. Oh, well. Guess I'll be straight! La la la!' Eventually they will win the rights they seek, and rightfully so. They're not asking to be able to eat live babies, for fuck's sake. They just want to be able to sign their names on a legal document that affects the two of them and nobody else. Is that so fucking unreasonable?

Giving same-sex couples the right to marry won't cost you anything.
Same-sex couples aren't trying to take anything from you, you fucking sanctimonious homophobes. Don't you worry-you'll still have the right to marry an eighteen-year-old girl with an IQ lower than her cup size when you're in your sixties and can't get it up anymore without Viagra, asshole.

Society's permitted "this sort of thing" before and survived.
Seriously, draw some fucking parallels. Everyone pitched a tantrum when blacks and whites wanted the right to marry, and who gives a shit now? What oh so terrible fate did it unleash upon the world? None, that's fucking what.

You should have bigger fish to fry.
You know what, millions of people die of AIDS, cancer, hunger, gunshot wounds courtesy of lax gun control, heart failure, drug abuse, drunk driving, poor health care, war, suicide, degenerative diseases and honour killing, to name just a few. Also there are animal cruelty, spousal abuse, child prostitution, racism, mental illnesses, sweat shops, environmental damage, sexual predators, police brutality. . . . Pick one or a few in which to invest your fucking wayward energy!

Here's a special note for you if you disagree for religious reasons, like most opponents do:
GO ACTUALLY READ THE FUCKING BIBLE. Specifically, read the chapter, Leviticus, in which lies that single little line from which springs all of this controversy about homosexuality. Guess what else is forbidden in that chapter? A few examples:
- Eating animals with cloven hooves (bacon, anyone?).
- Sex during menstruation.
- Having a seminal emission.
If you oppose same-sex couples for any reason, in my books you're a homophobe. You can say, 'Meh-meh-meh, I don't have any problem with them, but . . .' But what? If you don't have any problem with them, shut the fuck up. Leave them alone. They just want to be like you and your boyfriend or girlfriend, husband or wife. They don't want to take away your fucking rights. Why do you want to deny them theirs? Because it makes you feel more important than them? Fuck you. Fuck you so fucking much. Get the fuck off my website and go fucking kill yourself.
