(Dated 2012, so it's new)<br /><br />The subject was..."protecting marriage" (which, per always, means Keeping Teh Gays Out!).<br /><br />Lots of standard blather re "this [protect marriage effort] isn't religious, this is natural law!" (but then talking about how Prop8 only passed because of prayer and fasting and was God's Will yada-yada-yada).<br /><br />But here was the most interesting thing---one that filled me w/ DELICIOUS <i>Schadenfreude</i>.<br /><br />Bishop Cordileone (I want to call him "Bishop Godfather": am I bad? ;-X) drew the analogy that what he fears, as the Po Little "Protect Marriage" crowd get called "Bigots!" (because, y'know, they ARE), that they'll end up in the same place "that racial bigots are. Think of how the people who opposed interracial marriage are seen today! We could be <i>marginalised</i>."<br /><br />Yup. SUCK IT, LOSERS! [Losers in history, morality, the Gospel of Jesus Christ, the Common Good, <i>actually</i> protecting marriage (mainly from the ravages of capitalism), etc. etc.]<br /><br />Remember the name of the Virginia sheriff who arrested the Lovings? I don't, either.
