The New York Times > Washington > Senate Braces Itself for Fight on Gay Marriage
Danger! Danger Will Robinson!
Conservatives are out to fight? Well, so are we. We're not going to stop until they back down, so they better have LOTS of energy.
And one thing. If the constitutional amendment passes--either in the Federal Government or in Michigan--Stonewall is going to look like a Peta protest. And its going to be all over. Everywhere. Its not going to be a dozen drag queens and a bunch of NYC queers this time either. Thousands of mobilized, well-connected gays fighting back any way they can. That's a threat I know I can back up.
Guess what? If you take away our families and partnerships and our dreams of marriage, we're going to have a LOT of time on our hands. And if your business happened to have somehow supported this measure, you can expect to get protested boycotted and pressured until your doors close. If your church or group pushed this with their clergy, you will be infiltrated and have to face us every single sunday staring back at you from the congregation in MASS numbers, because we won't HAVE to be spending our sundays with our families--we won't be allowed any. Thats the big difference between us and the religious right wackos. They lose, they just go back to their lives. We lose, our lives will be torn apart, so we're going to have LOTS of new free-time on our hands to make you regret supporting homophobia in the law.
One way or another, the world moves TOWARD not AWAY from equality. Just like other groups, if we can't gain equality amicably, we will gain it by any means necessary.
Sure this post sounds a mite militant. That's because it is. And you can bet if lil old ME is sounding militant about this, there is something behind it. Please think twice before supporting homophobia.
