Showdown: Maine. Supporters and opponents stuffed the 4,000-person Augusta Civic Center with red-wearing advocates for civil rights trading turns at the podium with their foes to debate two bills before the legislature. It’s just the beginning of our beautiful democratic process, but already it’s rife with the same tired arguments against letting folks choose the ones they love. Families will become unstable! Government will crumble! God will slay our first born! [via WABI]
“This experiment with re-defining marriage”…
Oh, you mean that grand ol’ tradition that hasn’t changed since it was first practiced thousands of years ago?
Funny: this guy claims to be religious, but he obviously hasn’t even made it through the first book of the bible.
Read Genesis…for fun. It’s more sordid than Springer. Lot’s of wife swapping, cheating, abandonment, brother/sister and cousin marriage, and polygamy.
These Christian assholes are delusional and ignorant bigots…and I say that with love.
I want to know which of these Krazy, Krusty, Kristianists pulled the fire alarm after 7 hours of debate. Like at 5:00pm the alarm went off and they had to evacuate the building! I had to run off to rehearsal so I didn’t get to follow it to see if they all came back in and kept going or if they just ended it. What happened?
The alarm was some burnt popcorn. They all came back and finished the session and even went an extra 45 minutes. Very impressive day. The Juduciary Committee was very good. Well run hearing.
Awwww look at the little baby grabbing the microphone. He’s so adorable. Too bad he’ll become a drug-addicted serial killer in 20 years.
