Wonderful.
Not only is the Virginia legislature considering a law requiring the reporting of miscarriages, already being Pitted, not only are they gearing up for an anti-gay-marriage amendment to their constitution, they’ve decided as well that it would be a swell idea to offer anti-gay-marriage license plates to their populace.
God-fucking-damn…and people wonder why we fags get all drama queeny over little things like this…
Waitaminute…doesn’t Virginia have enough variations to choose from already without this piece of crap?
I think something bad can be said about any state. Hell, let’s not kid ourselves, the entire union is fucked.
Is that a civil union?
I thought we already had a DOMA…now we’re going for this much more?
I guess the Traditional Marriage folks will have license plates to put in their “Truth, not Tolerance” license plate holders, right above their “[man figure] + [woman figure] = marriage” bumper stickers and a variety of other things I’ve seen in this state.
Frankly the only part of it that bothers me anew is that the state will be making (more?) money off this. However, the eventual embarrassment will be nice to see when gay marriage is allowed … eventually …
Now wait a minute. Where’s the money go? 'Cuz if it’s not somewhere offensive, I’d say that that’s a plate that every gay couple in the state of Virginia ought to get. As in “That’s all we’re asking for – a traditional marriage.”
Maybe I can’t top your item, but I can get close!
Here in Topeka, Kansas the City Council recently passed an ordinance banning discrimination in city hiring based on sexual orientation. It was a much watered down version of a broader proposal banning such discrimination in public and city hiring, and in housing as well. Betther than nothing.
So now Fred Phelps and his cult, the Westboro Baptist Church, have managed to get enough signatures on a petition to have the Council either reconsider the change, or to have the issue put to a public vote. A lot of their signatures were rejected as not being Topeka residents, or disqualified for other valid reasons. But they still scrounged up enough names that now Topeka is in danger of losing the one little bit of progress towards complete equal rights that has been made recently.
Naw, it’s an uncivil union.
I originally saw this on my Livejournal friends’ list, and someone had made a suggestion there that with just a little bit of gold paint, those two interlocked wedding rings could quite easily become interlocked male or female symbols… 
Hadn’t you heard? Virginia is for lovers–but only the heterosexual ones. :rolleyes:
That’s a great idea for a bumper sticker to counter the stupid license plate.
So when can I get one of those with the personalized license number “H8FAGZ”?
They have two (2!) plates for Jimmy Buffet fans.
Thanks for taking the heat off of us, VA.
I forgot to mention why I posted to this thread"
I think Manhattan makes a fantastic point. Co-opting the plate (assuming it’s pro-traditional marriage and not anti-union or something) would be an excellent statement to make.
Is there a better cite than this?
Straight (hah!) from the Virginia General Assembly.
Gotcha ya. I wish I could be shocked and enraged, but it’s almost par. ::sigh::
I propose that we invent a new term for some homosexual act (to be determined at some future date), and that it shall be known as “The Lingamfelter.”
Since “lingam” is Sanskrit for “penis,” that seems quite appropraite.
No no no. A Lingamfelter sounds like a device rather than an act. Maybe something like a double-ended Fleshlight?
