> Back in the early days, they claimed that all they wanted was for official persecution to stop. Then during the time of Lawrence v. Texas, they claimed that all they wanted was to be left alone in the bedroom. A few years later, they claimed that all they wanted was for the government to officially recognize their status in **some** way, whether by civil unions or some other form of recognition. Then in Oberfefell v. Hodges, they claimed that all they wanted was the right to marry. Now they’re claiming that all they want is the right to force everybody in the wedding industry to support them.

> Sooner or later, (probably sooner) they’re going to start clamoring for the “right” to force any member of the clergy to participate in gay weddings, regardless of the minister’s stance on the issue. Anybody who feels that this is an absurd claim has not been paying attention to history.

And the award for “shittiest post this month” goes to…

…Well, probably **Steophan** or that racist troll from a while back with a boner for the New Observer, but this is a _strong_ contender. Jesus christ, I thought we were past the point where this kind of out-and-proud demonization was considered okay, even in the pit.

Hey fucko, are you aware that there’s a decade and a half between Lawrence v. Texas - the fact that you’re apparently upset that gay people are no longer persecuted simply for having consensual sex with their partners speaks _volumes_ to your character, you fucking failure of a human being - that the plaintiffs are completely unrelated, and that gay people are not some fucking monolith! What the fuck is wrong with you?

Oh, and this:

This doesn’t fucking help, you disgusting sack of skunk shit.
