WTFeth?
So. Good news and bad news. The good news is that the Let's Deprive Our Citizens of Their Rights Because That Worked So Well Last Time Amendment failed 49-48. The bad news is that it failed 49-48. How is it possible that there were FOURTY NINE VOTES for complete and unmitigated ASSHATTERY? I mean, honestly people. If two gay people get married, is that really going to ruin your marriage for you? (By the way, if you answered that question in the affirmative, maybe you should get divorced anyway.)
Mr. Asshat: Oh, look, honey. Those gay people are getting married. How gruesome.
Mrs. Asshat: Oh, dear. Looks like we'll have to get a divorce and join in the debauchery.
Mr. Asshat: (while stripping down feverishly) Yes, looks like it.
Mrs. Asshat: Right. I'm off to fuck a horse, because that's the same thing, you know.
Mr. Asshat: Yes, yes it is. If you need me, I'll be attending the nearest orgy, enjoying myself until I am smitten by the vengeful hand of G-d.
Mrs. Asshat: (over her shoulder) Righty-ho then.
But seriously, the opponents didn't even manage to get a majority on some hateful extremist measure? I mean, before you all start rejoicing in the defeat of bigotry, hatred, and so on and so forth, think of this: there are five states in which it is legal for same-sex couples to get married in; there are fewer senators willing to vote against writing bigotry into the Constitution than for it; we're pretty much fucked.
Just thought I'd kill the celebration.
