Here we go again.
Just got this email:

quote:
Dear Friend,

As the newly appointed chairman of the Senate Subcommittee on
the Constitution, Senator Sam Brownback (R-KS)has decided to
hold hearings THIS WEEK on the issue of same-sex marriage. The
hearing is focused on the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) and,
for all practical purposes, on the Federal Marriage Amendment
(FMA) as well.

In light of the many serious issues that our country is facing,
it is absolutely outrageous that a small group of right-wing
Senators would make discriminating against GLBT people their TOP
priority right now.

Stand with me and take action today to let your Senators know
that you oppose any efforts to write discrimination against GLBT
people into our Constitution. Click here to take action now:

You might be disappointed, but can you say you're surprised?

Be flattered you're more of a threat than any other crisis they could deal with.

Look out! Gay people on the loose in the USA!
Call out the National Guard!

Yah...you'd think with all the other critical things going on our leaders would focus on something that is actually a problem. I mean, I'm getting really tired talking/alerting about this issue. I wish the government would leave us alone. There is much more to life than our sex lives.

Feh.

I think it's a subconscious, Freudian obsession with your sex life.

Edit: Which makes for an interesting commentary on the people in question. [Big Grin]

I don't think there's anything subconscious about it. [Smile]

Not really appropriate, but I just thought I'd post this as a funny commentary on the elaborate rituals straight men indulge in.

I just clicked on the link and e-mailed my congressmen. I doubt it will do any good, but who knows?

Pfft, Trevor, men are ridiculous. I get together and go out with girlfriends one on one all the time. We even hug and kiss at the end of the night. Nothing wrong with that! As I said, men are ridiculous.
