NOM NOM NOM

Yeah, I've covered the topic of fundamentalist busybodies who oppose gay marriage before, and everyone has probably seen this video anyway, but I found it too crazy NOT to repost here. This group calls itself the National Organization for Marriage, although they make it clear they only like one sort of marriage, which makes it kind of a silly name. It would be like if I founded the National Association for Pizza, but I proposed destroying every kind of pizza except pepperoni.

And here's some more fun with NOM.

I personally like this one: “Who gets harmed? The people of this state who lose our right to define marriage as the union of husband and wife, that’s who. That is just not right.”

Wait, so we have a RIGHT to define words however we want to? Humpty Dumpty would be thrilled! I also have to admit being somewhat puzzled by the idea of someone responding to the accusation of being a bigot by saying, "I think that’s pretty offensive, don’t you?" Um, isn't calling someone a bigot SUPPOSED to be offensive?

You know, I'm married to someone of the opposite sex, but we don't have any kids and don't plan to do so. So does that mean our marriage is just as invalid as a homosexual one by NOM standards? I can live with that. Also, wouldn't it be logical for these people to support polygamy? After all, if one mom and one dad is better than two parents of the same gender, wouldn't multiple moms and dads be even better? And even if you do think a kid is better off being raised by people of both genders, why do they have to be a married couple? bethje was raised primarily by her mom and her uncle. What would NOM think of that?

And, while this has nothing to do with the rest of this post, I still thought it was kind of fun.



Yeah, I couldn't remember the symbol for antimony. In fact, I'm not even sure I can recall what antimony is. Sounds kind of like a Shakespearean character. {g}
