Gay marriage opponents: We concede defeat

Alas, the day had to come. We just can’t take it anymore. It’s time to admit you were right all along. Everything you said about the dangers of legalizing same-sex marriage were true.

In the three and a half years since the Netherlands legalized gay marriage, their society has crumbled. Amsterdam, reduced to a fiery wasteland by flames and brimstone and plague-bearing angels, learned its lesson first. When that meteorite hit the North Sea Reclamation project, there could be no more denying it. Please, call off your God and make the earthquakes, tornadoes, and hurricanes stop, before anyone else dies.

And what about poor Belgium? Who would have thought that after only one year, Belgian courts would force every citizen to marry their sister, a dog, a budgy, and a corpse? You did. That’s right, and we refused to listen.

I write now from the rubble of what was once Canada. Just as the Homosexual Conspiracy™ hoped, the birth rate dropped almost instantly to zero. Now, homosexual press gangs hunt down the few remaining heterosexuals for extreme conversion therapy. What have we done?

And like you, I watched the photos on the news of the horror that was once Massachussets, where society unravelled in a record-breaking three days, and now the whole state is populated by illiterate hunter-gatherers, stalking wild animals among the ruins of Harvard.

We should have known. You tried to warn us. I guess a lot of us hjust thought that Western Civilization was more resilient. And now our great civilization, founded by the ancient Greeks, built up by emperors such as Hadrian, producing such great creators as Michelangelo and Oscar Wilde – now it has all crumbled.

Now we humbly submit ourselves to the forces of the conservative Christianity, which has been a force for peace and order since Creation.

[choking on tea] Brilliant!

Oh, come now! We know what’s really going on up there!

Oh, the horror, the horror! Here in Massachusetts, it’s Civilization in ruins! Desperate hetero refugees are flooding across the border into New Hampshire. They mill about at the borders of New York, Rhode Island and Connecticut, wondering whether those states, too, will succumb to the tide of homocratic forced marriage. Meanwhile, howling mobs of civil unionistas are marching upon the Commonwealth from Vermont. Where will it all end?

I dunno, but whatever it turns out to be, it’ll be fabulous!

Why do I have the feeling that significant number of gay marriage opponents would see this as a good thing?

Okay, if I’m going to be forced to marry another woman . . . Dopettes? Anyone? Do I hear a proposal?

Please remember that you are posting in The BBQ Pit.
It was fucking brilliant!

Jeez.

Thanks a lot.

Now, I’ve got this horrible postapocalypse scenario running around in my head… kind of like the original Planet Of The Apes, except that instead of apes, we’ve got the cast of Queer Eye For The Straight Guy

DAMN YOU! You dressed it up tastefully, with matching accessories!

What a great setting for the next Road Warrior-esque movie… Fag Max!

They already made it.

Hey, if someone legalizes polygamy, I’m all about it. :smiley:

:: bashful blush:

Um… would I do? Not too much wear and tear visible, a wry sense of humor, and I’m gainfully employed.

Of course, two horses and eight cats are part of the package.

:: waiting hopefully ::

Hamish, I heart you <3

RUNS to the head of the line to get down on one knee and propose to Eve

Damn. I knew that they said legalizing gay marriages would lead to legalizing polygamy and bestiality, but I didn’t realize it would happen so soon, and both together as well.

Well then…I’m bringing the fucking pie…

:::: dims the lights and gets down on one knee :::

Eve, will you marry me?
