The antigay divas are on a roll this week, and of course Linda Harvey had to get her two cents in.
The eagle-eyed writers over at Good As You have discovered Harvey’s admission that the aversion to marriage equality that she and all of her cohorts are so adamant about stating isn’t really about “protecting” traditional marriage, it’s about the fact that they think gay sex is really, really icky.
Writing at WND with the hilarious tagline “The Gaying Of America” (can someone greenlight that 10-part PBS miniseries?), Harvey lets it all hang out, and by “it” we mean her real problem with marriage equality.
We aren’t fighting to protect marriage because the term and tradition are important. Let’s be honest that the only reason for this dispute is because people want to engage in anatomically challenged behavior that is observably unnatural, medically risky, improper as an example for children, and changeable. And it’s a behavior God calls sin. There is no other biblical description of homosexuality except always and only a big taboo. So in view of marriage law or public accommodations, could the immorality of homosexuality be a rationale for refusing to honor same-sex nuptials? Absolutely, it should be.
So, pay no attention to the thousands of rights that are denied to gay couples who can’t get married, or the fact that they are more often than not in loving and stable relationships.
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
To Harvey and her right-wing ilk, gay = gay sex.
That is a problem, but lucky for us as the country moves closer and closer towards marriage equality, the arguments of the opposing side are going to get nuttier and nuttier and expose them for exactly what they are: the last gasps of a dying movement.
It’s time to pull the plug.

Tell the truth. She’s never had good sex nor has any real man ever told her that he loves her.
Happy people have strong, loving relationships. Miserable people don’t.

The irony here is that many straight people (male & female) who are opposed to marriage equality because they find gay sex to be disgusting also find straight sex to be pretty disgusting. These people believe that only male/female vaginal sex in the missionary position, with the intent of procreation, is an obligation to their God and should never be enjoyed or preformed to personal pleasure or satisfaction. There is absolutely nothing that a gay couple (male/male or female/female) does sexually that isn’t done by straight couple who have normal healthy sex lives.

Finally, at least the truth finally came out. If you don’t like gay people, don’t hide behind a bunch of lies and just say it. Just because someone is different from you, doesn’t mean you should hate them or find them weird, this world has 7+ billion people, you’d of thought people would get over each other’s differences.

God, look at that smile, that expression. It’s like she knows how pathetic she is.

It would be great if the attorneys for gay/lesbian couples challenging anti-gay marriage laws could find links b/t this witch & anti-gay SSM statutes/constitutional amendments. If this isn’t animus towards gay people, I don’t know what is.

@mcflyer54: I often wondered how male/female vaginal sex in the missionary position, with the intent of procreation, as an obligation to their God and never enjoyed or preformed to personal pleasure or satisfaction can be achieved without the male orgasm, the very epitome of personal pleasure and satisfaction. Seems a very big contriDICKtion (sic).

Linda, maybe you just haven’t tried it with the right girl. Don’t give up.

@Harley: – There are a surprising number of men and women (gay & straight) who have an enormous amount of guilt following an orgasm so they refuse to allow themselves the pleasure and satisfaction of enjoying sex. Obviously much, if not most, of this guilt is a result of their upbringing when guilt was clearly associated with sexual activity – probably originally to discourage sex before marriage but ultimately carrying over into all of their relationships including their marriage.

I am pretty sure that gay sex and by that I mean ANAL sex is one of the primary factors behind most homophobia. When straight men see gay men on the street most of them immediately get a vision in their head of some guy getting plowed and it repulses them. Good old Antonin Scalia has made it quite clear that he makes most of his rulings on gay issues based on what he thinks about anal sex. What I don’t understand is why so many straight people spend so much time thinking about gay sex. After contemplating vaginal sex like once when I was 12, I haven’t thought about it since.
