Wow. Cleveland City Council created a 'non-binding registry of domestic partnerships'. What this does is, it allows couples, both gay and straight, to 'non-bindingly register' the existence of their domestic partnerships. Beyond that, it doesn't really do anything at all. Even so, a group called United Pastors in Mission tried to block the move because, and I quote, "that lifestyle goes against God". They meant the gay lifestyle, in case you're wondering. So, what are we saying here, reverends? Now those perfidious gays are redefining the meaning of non-binding registries of domestic partnerships? ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME? If there was any doubt left that these Christian crusades had anything to do with protecting faith rather than hating others, this just put the nail in that coffin.
By the way, I'd just like to thank Barack Obama once again for reaching out to these people. If he weren't sending the message that hate is an acceptable part of modern political discourse, who knows what they'd think?
