Queerty commenter Michael alerted us to this super-duper pressingly important PSA from the Upright Citizen’s Brigade that all Prop. 8 supporters should see. It’s important now that they’ve won one battle, that they be ideologically consistent with their beliefs and make marriage safe by eliminating the family-destroying, children’s-tears-inducing world of divorce.
This is basically the smartest, most insightful thing that’s been put together on the issue and all the gays in the world who didn’t donate to Prop. 8 but who really wanted gay marriage to pass should buy up all the airtime on TV and play forever or until Prop. 8 supporters brains explode like in that one episode of Star Trek with the blonde robot babes whose brains explode when faced with a logical inconsistency. You know the one–they parodied it on Futurama and everything. Anyway, this video rocks.

I think that is a brilliant idea + it’s one I’ve mentioned in debates with Prop 8 supporters. If they are so gung-ho about protecting the “sanctity of marriage”, they should be just as eager to prevent divorce, + to make getting married much more difficult than, say, a quickie wedding in Vegas to a complete stranger…

Like logical reasons or rational thoughts are supposed to work with those prejudiced people.

From C.S. Lewis’ Mere Christianity:
“Before leaving the question of divorce, I should like to distinguish two things which are very often confused. The Christian concept of marriage is one: the other is the quite different question–how far Christians, if they are voters or Members of Parliament, ought to try to force their views of marriage on the rest of the community by embodying them in the divorce laws. A great many people seem to think that if you are a Christian yourself you should try to make divorce difficult for everyone. I do not think that. At least I know I should be very angry if the [Muslims] tried to prevent the rest of us from drinking wine. My own view is that the Churches should frankly recognise that the majority of the British people are not Christians and, therefore, cannot be expected to live Christian lives. There ought to be two distinct kinds of marriage: one governed by the State with rules enforced on all citizens, the other governed by the Church with rules enforced by her on her own members. The distinction ought to be quite sharp, so that a man knows which couples are married in a Christian sense and which are not.â€
