Congrats on the SSM, not getting Phred!

Getting Phred? That sounds like… A SOCIAL DISEASE!!!

Conga Rats to all you happy Argentinians!

I wanted to be adopted by some lesbians, but my wife disagreed

It’s not just same-sex marriage the bill that just passed both houses of the Argentine Congress also allows (married) same-sex to adopt children as well. This is very surprising. I knew President Fernandez was in favour of SSM, but I didn’t think it’d make it though Congress. Argentina didn’t even have divorce 25 years ago. So much for the Roman Catholic Church’s claims of “moral authority”.

For that matter, Spain didn’t have divorce until 1981. Hell, Portugal only legalized abortion in 2007, and they have same-sex marriage now.

Hell, in the fifties in Quebec, we were governed by a man who had had priests campaigning for him in the pulpit by saying Le ciel est bleu, l’enfer est rouge. 25 years later in 1977 it became the first government in the world to ban sexual orientation discrimination.

We’re very efficient.

Get in line. We’re still waiting here, and it’s been years already.

Oh, and congratulations. The club is getting less exclusive by the minute, but it’s better that way.

Is an earthquaque a gay earthquake?

Congrats!

I think it’s happened enough that legalizing SSM doesn’t generate Nazis riding dinos anymore. Now the best you can get nowadays is Newt Gingrich on a woolly mammoth.

That makes a certain kind of paleologic.

[outlierrn]

Turned me into a newt, but I got woolier.

[MOIDALIZE]

This is totally gay

[EvilTOJ]

People do seem rather happy about it, don’t they? It’s certainly queer isn’t it?

ObContext: blue (bleu) is the colour of the Conservatives; red (rouge) is the colour of the Liberals. So the priest was advising his parishioners that “heaven is blue and he’ll is red”. It’s amazing how quickly and thoroughly such attitudes changed during the Quiet Revolution.

I’m sure is just a matter of time before a volcano erupts in downtown Buenos Aires or something.

Checks watch

Any time now

…

Still here.

One thing to take into account:

I still remember that:

Pat Robertson controversies

In the 1998 edition of his show, Robertson denounced Orlando, Florida and Disney World for allowing a privately sponsored “Gay Days” weekend. Robertson stated that the acceptance of homosexuality could result in hurricanes, earthquakes, tornadoes, terrorist bombings and “possibly a meteor.”[9]

…

The first hurricane of the 1998 Atlantic hurricane season[10], Hurricane Bonnie, actually turned away from Florida and instead damaged the rest of the east coast. The area hardest hit by the hurricane was the Hampton Roads region,[11], which includes Virginia Beach[12], where the Robertson’s The 700 Club is broadcast from [13]. While other hurricanes did hit Florida,[10] none of them hit Disney World.[14]

I guess God is angry, but with the ones calling for punishment from above.

“If the ceiling is blue, you can infer that I’m wearing makeup?”

<Reads Sunspace’s post>

Ah. That seems more likely.

Welcome to the club, Argentina! Has anyone taught you the secret handshake yet?

Congrats!

:D, I mixed Spanish and English letter sounds in the same word by mistake, “Que” sounds like “Ke” in Spanish. , fonetically “Earthquake” would be written “ertzcueic”

Us residents of Mass. have been waiting for something to happen for a while now. So far the streets have not run red with blood and Godzilla is conspicuous by his absence.

In an old BBS I used to frequent, we had the “guerguolf inglish mezod”(Werewolf English Method") where a poster whose nick was “Werewolf” would post his messages in “English” this way, for example:
"We each got a toaster delivered to our house tonight, wooo! free toaster! "
would be
“ui ich got a touster deliverd tu ouer jous tunait, wooo! fri touster!”

Oh, here we go: A judge refuses to apply the law and will fight it to the death. TO THE DEAAAAAAAAAAATH.

“A relationship between a pair of homosexuals is, in God’s eyes, something bad,” Maria Covella, a justice of the peace in the town of General Pico, 700 km south of Buenos Aires, told the press.

“They’ll accuse me of everything they want, but God tells me something else, and I intend to obey Him whatever the cost, even if I have to give my life,” she said, saying she had been “raised in Scripture.”

“Give her life?” What exactly is she picturing? Lesbian terror squads with softball bats? 1920s-style “death gays”?
