GwgTrunks saidIn summary: "wow, we're happy this judge upheld state rights! Oh, wait... it's in favor of the gays? Hm... well, sure, as long as we can get state bills passed against them!"
Lostboy said They are just not sure who to hate most: the federal government or the gays.

Exactly... Teabaggers hate gays. In this case they merely make a technical slam against Obama. Teabaggers want gays dead , or in concentration camps, per their own declarations. Does anyone dispute this?
I don't dispute it, but where'd you hear that?
PiercedAndFit said...I respectfully submit that we should help the Tea Party and anyone else who is advancing our freedom, we don't have to agree 100% but we can use the help on this.

PiercedAndFit saidA group of Tea Partiers view marriage as a religious sacrament. They do not want the government telling them or anyone else who can and cannot marry the same way they don't want the State giving religious test oaths for office or deciding what makes one a 'true' believer. Any help they give toward ending Federal and State interference is good for us

Are you fucking NUTS???
One of these right-wing plants here? Like we don't have enough of them already?
OUR freedom??? Whose freedom is that? Certainly not gays.
Your 7th post here, and you endorse the anti-gay Teabaggers? Who invited you here, southbeach?
darkeyedresolve saidOr unlike some groups, they are actually principled in how they feel about the federal government and its limitations.
Tea Party has never been about social issues and it has always remained on fiscal policies. They probably only really care because its a ruling that emphasizes the 10th amendment.
DuluthMN saidOf course they're going after gay men. We are one of the few targets of people left to attack (unfortunately the majority of the attacks come from other gay men, great 'community pride' we've got going on when we insult and ridicule each other every chance we get- - that's another story though.
The tea party people are the Angry White Men and Angry White Women remixed for 2010. They're pissed off that their world is changing and nothing can be done to stop it. They act as if this is some sort of impending doom, and our current president is the source of that (in truth, anyone elected after 8 years of Bush was a sitting duck from to word go).
I've watched the tea party people and they are just amazing in how they celebrate their ignorance. The military are their heroes (and logically, in their eyes, the military are their only heroes. 7000 Americans died on Iwo Jima to prevent gays from getting married - that's the 'freedom' bullshit that was hard won. This whole 'freedom isn't free' crap is so ironic because while the tea party folks want less government in THEIR lives, they sure have a lot to say about people they know little to nothing about (gay men) and underneath that is a very serious, violent form of hatred - they hate us not for what we do in bed, but for what we (appear to) HAVE - it drives them crazy that gay men. most of whom never have to worry about children or relationships, get to have lots of money, lots of free time, no responsibilities to children or a spouse, and get to go on the most exciting vacations. Meanwhile, these people in east Texas or some nowhere community is home to the tea partiers who, more than likely, are victims of their own poor choices. There is no need to have six kids today. These are people who are afraid of their future because they have kids to support, most of these people aren't college educated so when they lose their jobs, they are in a panic because they don't know what to do. These people are perfect for all this born again, black or white evangelism.
The tea party folks have launched their 2010 campaign to restore traditional American values by electing insurrectionist candidates who’ve pledged to dismantle the U.S. government, abandon the environment, and give every citizen-patriot the freedom to be denied health insurance coverage for treatable illnesses. If it isn't bad enough that gay men have no support or solidarity from the rest of the gay community, we now have a new group that we have to worry about.
Anyone who thinks that gay men choose to be gay should live in our shoes for one day and see what it's like to have no support from within the gay community and a mounting lunatic anti-gay fringe that hates us as much as gays hate each other.
