I am so fucking sick and tired of the same fucking homophobic "arguments"

[Sampiro]

On this board, on other boards, with family members in The Waking, in editorials, on the news media, it just never ends. You hear the same fucking anti-gay rhetoric from the Ideological Order of the Black Knight of the Indefensible Platitudes every fucking day, and you see them refuted every single time, and it never stops them.

Homosexuality is unnatural.

Well, it occurs in nature.

No it doesn’t.

Here’s proof.

**Animals may have same-sex sex, but they don’t move in together and try to adopt children, so it’s unnatural, cause animals don’t have anything to do with nature.

or…

Marriage is for having children.

But millions of people marry with no intention of having children or without even the ability to have children.

**Don’t change a thing, marriage is for having children, except for when it isn’t, and even then it is.

or…

God destroyed Sodom because of homosexuality.

God seemed to be under the impression he destroyed them because they were arrogant, overfed and unconcerned.

And queer! He meant to say ‘and queer’! It’s clearly in the subtext. They wanted to rape them angels.

The phrase “to know” usually meant “to know”, and even if it didn’t there’s a difference between being gay and wanting to gang rape aliens.

Like I said, God destroyed Sodom because of homosexuality.

or

Marriage is unchanging.

So where are bride prices, dowries, polygamy, arranged marriages, child betrothals, etc. etc.

All them was one-man and one-woman, except for polygamy, which was one-man and one-woman per wedding, so it still counts, and what’s the difference twixt legalizing gay marriage and legalizing polygamy?

The differences are many: gay marriage is a simple extension of the rights of two people to legally bind themselves whereas polygamy is hopelessly complicated: which spouse would inherit Social Security or would it be equally, which would have the power of attorney in events of medical emergency or would it be majority vote [and how would you break a tie if there were an even number of spouses], homosexuality is an orientation while polygamy is a choice [nobody is born a polygamist], etc. etc etc ad nauseum

Like I said, no difference in legalizing gay marriage and legalizing polygamy, and next you’ll have to let people marry goats.

Gays are more likely to molest children.

Oh, don’t let me commence

The Roman Empire fell because of gays.

The Roman Empire had been Christian for more than a century when it fell and its fall was an incredibly nebulous event with no single cause but thousands of little ones that have been debated for more than fifteen centuries by thousands of scholars with absolutely no clear resolution other than it was not due to one cause [and certainly not because of queers- the empire continued expanding and expanding in every direction it could whiz for centuries after Nero and Elagabalus and Hadrian].

Like I said, it fell because of queers.

And there are so many more, you all know the drill. And you can use the better logic, better facts and figures and statistics, quote better Scripture, employ all manner of documentable and indisputable evidence that totally slashes the tendons and eats the hearts of their arguments, and they keep going. “It’s only a flesh wound!”

I get so fucking tired of it, and the most irrifuckitating thing about it is that

**I CAN’T JUST LET IT GO

I CAN’T LET THE FUCKING FUNDIE (& OTHER) BIGOTS GET THE LAST WORD**

even though I know the fight to be futile in convincing the mouth-breathing knuckle-dragging ideological-catchphrase puking centrally-programmed Fundie-Fucking-Furbies of the Religious Reich that they are not only wrong in their interpretation of law and scripture but they are serving millionaire masters who would have helped handcuff Rosa Parks while screaming “The Sky is Falling!” at two women holding hands and who wouldn’t piss down the throats of their parishioners if the fires of hell consumed their uvulas unless there was a sawbuck, a vote or a photo-op in it for them.

JEEBUS BUT I GET SO FUCKING SICK OF IT AND YET IT’S LIKE CIGARETTES- A TOTAL MANIC BITCH TO QUIT.

I consider myself a lousy debater, and still I have to pick up my gladius and join the resistance to the best of my ability if only to atone for those who are too intimidated to fight or who would love to but don’t know the facts and words to use. But I just wish the mongoloids and the activists and all would just call a six month truce in which I don’t have to put up with the non-stop deluge of the same idiotic arguments again and again and again and again…

Weak rant, but… just had to vent.
