Flames Down the Side of My Face

I just got a call from a real live person asking me if they could count on my support for Arizona Proposition 102, the "faith-based initiative" to "define marriage as being between one man and one woman."

My response: "You people are insane. Don't call here again." *click*

Fucking assholes.

If you're in Arizona, for the love of everything awesome, get to the polls on Tuesday, vote No on Proposition 102. Love should not be legislated.

I told them to go away too. NO ON 102!!!!

From California, home of the similar fight over Prop 8, I salute you, sir.

I feel almost left out that I have gotten no political calls about anything this year. I haven't even had anyone I didn't agree with knock on my door. It's almost boring! When do I get to yell at people?

I am mildly surprised you kept it to that! Heh.

There was no ballot issue such as that in NC this year. The only issue I got to vote on was a food tax.

Proposition 2 here in Florida gets a NO! vote from me. Stupid arsing morons. It burns me up that people are so close-minded as to believe that love, between any gender or race for that matter, is wrong.

Whenever someone starts to argue over this with me, I ask them one simple question. What about someone who's a transgender? Is it okay for them to marry someone who, technically speaking, is of the same sex? That usually shuts them up real quick. *g*

Ditto in California, too. No on 8.

It's worse here. The Prop 8 people are insane and well-funded. My neighbors have a sign that says, "YES on 8 = Defending Families"

I mean, the hell? Defending them from who?

And the ads... they're just shy of outright lies, and that's if I'm being generous. They've got people believing that gay marriage will taught in school and that churches will lose their tax exempt status if they don't perform same-sex marriages.

I am going to stab the Yes on 8 people in the head with a fork before Tuesday.

Latest on my neighbor's window is "Yes on 8 = Defending Families"

The fuck?

Oh my god, the next person who tries to tell me that if Prop 8 gets defeated and gays can get married in CA, then preaching against homosexuality in church will be a hate crime, I am going to SMACK IN THE FACE WITH THE BILL OF RIGHTS, I SWEAR.

No on 2 in Florida, as well!

On the bright side of things, I am finally living in a liberal town again.

I love that I go to a school where Sarah Palin wins scariest costume.

Hells yeah!

Oh I came up with many more vitriolic things just seconds after I'd already hung up. Oh well.

[identity profile] rhi-silverflame.livejournal.com 2008-11-01 04:57 am (UTC)(link)
That is awesome. Seriously. Because I don't think it gets much scarier than that.

Also, WTF, Utah, and all your money to fund this fucking initiative? GTFO of my state's legislation.

News flash to the LDS: only 15 million of you, 285 million of the rest of us. GTFO.
