The representative Victor Vassallo...spoke in favor of the family and repeatedly said he was not homophobic.

You might want to try again at not being homophobic. I can't even tell you how sick I am of homophobes hiding their bigotry under the guise of ~family~. Gay people have families too, you asshole.

Not even touching the beastiality or pedophilia comparisons. Consent, motherfuckers. It's a thing.

Lawd. This is what it takes to get that many "Christians" to make a stand. Nevermind the serious violence and drug problem here. But you can't even acknowledge that gay couples exist and also deserve to be protected from domestic violence.

Of all the problems affecting Puerto Rico, like I don't know, the insanely high crime rate, the drug economy being what is actually keeping the country from a total economic collapse, the ridiculous high energy prices, super low salaries, the destruction of our beaches, rampant corruption in our government, huge brain drain due to everyone with a diploma leaving the country, this is NOT what these jackasses should be protesting. SMH! No wonder my country is so fucked up.

this is probably way too intensive of a question for just an lj comment, but if you're inclined to answer, it'd be awesome:

why are the energy prices so high?

That's okay bb. They government owned power company is broke due to years of fat salaries, bonuses and mishandling of funds. The power bills right now are insane. My father owns 2 fast foods and is paying over $14k a month on power per store. That is 50% more than what he was paying 4 years ago! It's also a big reason why so many other businesses are going under. Ugh! I sincerely hate what's happened here and I hate the fact that I had to come back. I can't wait to move back to Miami.

My dad pays about 200 dollars per month on his house (with my siblings) and they don't have AC, dryer, and I pay about 50 bucks with all of those things here in the States. :|

I'm sorry about your father, OP. I hope he educates himself soon.

[angebleu]

Thank you. My siblings and I tried to make amends with my father, but with time we are getting more and more disappointed with him.

I do not know if any of my family participated on this and honestly I do not want to. I don't think I could keep my mouth shut. The same day this happened my gay cousin who lives on the island asked me where to go shopping for FL apartments.
