Michelle Bachman, Dick Santorum, and Mitt Romney all just signed NOM’s marriage pledge promising to support a constitutional ban on gay marriage, defend DOMA in court, nominate anti-LGBT judges, “appoint a presidential commission to investigate harassment of traditional marriage supporters,” and help overturn marriage equality in D.C.. Great! Let’s bring this up in all future debates. And while we’re at it we can see if the candidates agree with NOM’s buddies who think that gays eat poo and that gay marriage will murder children. Everyone wins!

This won’t stop Jimmy LaSalvia and his cronies from running over to lap up some Santorum.

Consider the source, they are all whack jobs. They tout there religious diatribe proclaiming that their bible denounces it, yet if they were truly into their religion they would accept all people no matter what they do or think.

Santorum and Bachmann would be first in line to sign this pledge, as they have never met a pledge they haven’t liked. I’m surprised Romney signed it. We’re going to have to get the Truth Fairy involved – because when the American people find out the details of how the Mormon Church treats women, and about how the Garden of Eden is in Missouri, and God lives on the star Kolob, and Mormon men can only go to heaven if they have 3 wives – so they marry 2 dead women in addition to their living, breathing wife – they will be shocked. Doncha think? I was.

These idiots are serving to keep the gay debate going, and getting more, um, frothy, well, good for them! Why, soon it’s going to be impossible for any presidential candidate to waffle any more on this issue, which is developing into a very Yes-No proposition — are gay people full citizens with full rights, and decent, peaceful productive people? — or are gays so evil that we must be eradicated from the land? Answer the question please.
And it’s going to be harder and harder for the NO GAYS! Movement to brush under the rug their essential genocidal hate for gays. You can’t want millions of people gone and claim you are not genocidal, or at least, mildly Medieval and merely want to chase gay folks out of the country like Jews were chased out of country after country during the Middle Ages in some unholy and unAmerican pogrom.
What a weird thing, to be debate reality; and what weird people, to want reality gone.

GOProud will be salivating and I bet Chris Barron will be the next to sign on. Gay and republican, what a fucking oxymoron that is, supporting a party that doesn’t want you to have your rights or your equality.

I see what you did there, Daniel.

Persecution, laws of exclusion, humiliation, forced conversion, and finally expulsion: where have we heard of these things before? Why, it was in Spain in 1492, sponsored by our old friend, the Catholic Church. History does have a way of repeating itself.

Why don’t they go ahead and pledge to ban and criminalise divorce, adultery, and remarriage?

my friend said:
“At any point during the process of cutting and pasting images to drag-shame Santorum and Romney, I wonder if it occurred to anyone at Queerty that the punchline of their joke is the same reason we can’t pass ENDA or anything trans related.”
I agree 100%.

@Beth: My friend, who shall remain nameless, said that your comment is dumb, since Michele’s head is still on a woman’s body. I agree 110%.
Beth
@o: true, and notice how neither my friend nor I mentioned Bachmann.

@Beth: My sister says it doesn’t matter since the picture is what it is. I called my uncle and even he agreed. And he hates my sister. That’s really something, isn’t it?

I polled my 3 cats, and they agree, the picture is perfect – with the exception that they feel Bachmann should be sporting hair on her chest.

@xander: To be fair, the pledge they signed actually does include statements against divorce, adultery, and remarriage (or serial marriage, I think they called it). Not that I always want to be fair to them — they are not fair to us.
