I was listening to Focus on the Family for a bit this morning on my way to work and some old fella (don't know who he was, don't care) was going on about how Obama recently hosted some Homosexual Coalition conference and while there stated that he would work towards repealing the Defense of Marriage Act.

According to this guy on the radio, Obama is "weakening the institution of marriage" and got all bent out of shape. I love it. I really enjoy how this man behaves as if the "Institution of Marriage" is a real building with loads of workers and if gays are allowed to marry they'll have massive lay-offs and lose their pensions.

"Oh shit, I've been working here for 35 years and was about to retire, but now that fags are allowed to marry they've taken away my social security!"

I mean, really? You realize that it's not a REAL institution, it's just something you've made up in your head. If Rob and Tim are allowed to marry, they're not going to take away YOUR marriage license to give to them. It doesn't effect you at ALL. Nothing in your old life will change. Well, you may die from a massive coronary attack because two dudes/ladies are given a piece of paper, allowed to visit whilst the other is on their death bed, and able to legally raise the other's children. Oh, how awful.

Hell in a handbasket, man.

It bothers me even more that when confronted, this fella will deny his ultimate fantasy of forcing his religion upon the entire country. "No no, that's not what we're about, we don't want to force our religion upon people, we're not Muslims." Yet they have no problem saying that they want federal laws enacted to deny rights because of someones sexual orientation, justified entirely upon their religious beliefs. Because that's completely different.

That's enough.
