The most recent Field Poll on the subject of the Jeebus-brand anti-gay marriage constitutional bigotry amendment shows that a vast majority of registered California voters oppose bigotry even when it is wearing a pretty Jeebus dress.

The Traditional Values Coalition, and in particular the lying bastard Lou Sheldon, are welcome to roll up this poll and smoke it. Or they could use this news for other recreational purposes, including ones that might involve sitting on something. As a matter of fact I bet you can guess where Lou is welcome to shove it. Of course the TVC is only one of the bigotry sources trying once again to sell the Fear of a Queer Planet as if it was something to worry about.

The days when you could paint the word Jeebus on a pile of vile bigotry and sell it to people are, fortunately, long gone.

A very large percentage of people in California are personally acquainted with one or more gay or lesbian couples who have become married in the last 2 months. Not a single person in California has suffered any harm at all, not even a hangnail, as a result of gay marriage. The fact is that equal rights equal equal rights. It is the Fundamentalist bigots who are seeking Special Rights®, in particular they want to have the right to decide who can get married and who can not.

Well, it is too late, their tired old rhetoric has become tired and old, just like their fairy tales about an Imaginary Bearded Sky Daddy.

I’d like to thank my fellow citizens of California for taking a stand against bigotry and intolerance. You guys rock!

And Lou, there is still plenty of time to sit on it. Too bad about the Sanctity of Bigotry. Poor little thing.

Game over. Jeebus loses again.

A bigots for Jebus group, The Campaign for Children and Families, has failed in their pathetically stupid attempt to get the Kern County Commisioners to issue an illegal ban on gay marriage.

Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. Jesus loses AGAIN. If their Imaginary Bearded Sky Daddy wasn’t so completely fictitious maybe he would be able to do something. But the 2,000 year old fairy tales used to justify their homophobic bigotry are complete and utter fiction, from vengeful genocidal holy war to deity-sponsored rape, it’s all just ugly, stupid and make relieve.

Losers.

Supervisors declined to act on the measure after Bernard Barmann, the county’s lawyer, said it would be illegal for the county to adopt its own same-sex marriage ban.

Won’t anybody think about the bigots?

First we have a case in Milwaukee, Wisconsin where the bitter cold winter is over and people are going to the parks. An anti-gay homophobe for Jesus Fundamentalist Christian preacher was arrested in a police sting operation aimed at men soliciting sex in a public park. Police say after church at the Holy Redeemer Church of God in Christ on Sunday afternoon, he was arrested and charged with lewd and lascivious behavior at Milwaukee’s Estabrook Park.

The mayor of District Heights, Maryland, James L. Walls Jr., was arrested April 24th in the District after allegedly offering an undercover male police officer $40 for sex in a known prostitution area, authorities said. He also serves as an associate minister at the Forestville New Redeemer Baptist Church. Note the association with the most virulently homophobic and bigoted mainstream religious denomination in America, the Baptists. De Nile is not just a river in Egypt.

These types of stories are increasingly common, and the reason this sort of thing happens is very easy to understand. The common Christian claptrap that homosexuality is a choice is completely and utterly false. Consider these two points.

• Homosexuality is an immutable characteristic of a minority of human beings. People that are gay simply are gay, there is no escaping this fact.
• When a person tries to deny a very basic fact about themselves, one that is tied very, very deeply to their emotional life, the truth will eventually bubble up to the surface and be manifested in actions.

If Deacon Pitchford and James L. Walls, Jr. had not been so urgently compelled to deny the truth about themselves, then their sexuality would not have needed to come out (pun intended) in a manner that is illegal and frowned upon by society. They could have gone to a gay bar, or a gay dating website, if they were not terrified of the truth about themselves.

I honestly do feel some sympathy for these men, they were not big players in the Jeebus Industry, earning a living by demonizing innocent citizens. These guys were just junior preachers who unfortunately decided to put reality in the closet in favor of superstitious fairy tales.

Both of these men would be better served by accepting the reality that they are gay, and rejecting the Sanctity of Bigotry that is so much a part of Christianity in America today. Just say NO to idiotic interpretations of completely fictitious ancient fairy tales.

Your Atheist Fag blogger is pleased to announce that he was married to his long time partner in Unholy Matrimony at the Riverside County Clerk’s offices in Indio California. Woo hoo! C’est moi on the right. From now on whenever I refer to him as my husband I will not need to use quotes.

After nearly 12 years as a couple, our relationship now has the same legal status as the relationships of our heterosexual neighbors.
