THIS IS EXACTLY WHY SAME SEX MARRIAGE CANNOT--I REPEAT CANNOT-BE PUT ON A BALLOT!
WE ARE NOT THE MAJORITY AND SADLY MANY PEOPLE IN AMERICA STILL FEEL LIKE THESE ASSHOLES FROM MISSISSIPPI AND THE BIGGER ASSHOLE, TOM CORBETT, FROM PENNSYLVANIA. WE HAVE OUR RIGHTS IN THE CONSTITUTION FOR "ALL" !--THOSE PEOPLE WHO WANT THIS ON A BALLOT DISGUST ME!

luckily my straight/bi friends are not threatened by the idea of love of ANY kind...
AND SORRY JOHN SUTTER, I WILL NOT TURN THE OTHER CHEEK & CHEER FOR MY OPPRESSORS --WE'VE BEEN DOING THAT TOO LONG...
(CNN) -- "When will homophobia in the United States start seeming so ridiculous it's laughable?
Not in 2013, it seems.
Certainly not this week.
On Thursday, the governor of Pennsylvania, Tom Corbett, grinned as he compared, in a television interview, same-sex marriage to a brother marrying his sister.
"I apologize to anybody who feels offended by that," he said later.
Feels offended? Please. That's offensive.
Worse, football players and other students from Ole Miss reportedly heckled a Tuesday night performance of "The Laramie Project," a play about a gay college student, Matthew Shepard, who was tortured and murdered in 1998. They yelled anti-gay slurs, including the three-letter f-bomb, the play's director told the university newspaper.
"This behavior by some
students reflects poorly on all of us, and it reinforces our commitment
to teaching inclusivity(sic) and civility to young people who still have much
to learn," two university officials said in a prepared statement.
Homophobes and the football teams that harbor them understand they should apologize.
Maybe that should be seen as an improvement.
But it doesn't seem genuine to me.
These apologies are designed to placate the gay community, not embrace it.
The comments themselves
are reduced to the realm of political gaffes instead of being seen for
what they are, which is hate speech that contributes to gay kids
committing suicide and to parents rejecting kids who come out to them as
gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender..."
