Comments on: Same-Sex Marriage in California and Prop 8: A Brief History http://blogging.la/2010/01/17/same-sex-marriage-in-california-and-prop-8-a-brief-history/ Lizard people dude. Seriously.

It's the most obvious inequality. I'm gay and you think a gay dude can't be against gay marriage so you are stupid, ranting that I'm hiding behind anonymity bla bla bla. In way over my head? That's a laugh. I'm gay and I honor and respect those who are better than me in one area of life, that is, those who in their commitment and sexual relations can make new human beings. In other areas of life there are matters of equality, but not marriage. Gays deserve legal protections in civil unions, not marriage. It's a fight over a word. Gays who demand the word marriage to apply to them are self centered bigots. Second class, world class, who cares class, gays cannot have sex and make new human beings, so they are not equal.

What you're doing is using false authority: You claim that you're gay so that your idiotic argument that gay people should be treated as second-class citizens will seem to have more weight. Like most people who make such marble-mouthed tea-party-appropriate comments, you're assuming we're all stupid (if you respected our intelligence, you wouldn't use such an incredibly lame argument), and that we'll think, "Oh! Well, he's gay and he doesn't believe in gay marriage, and since as a gay person he's the ultimate authority on all things gay." But we know better. We know you're using the anonymity of the internet to make stuff up about yourself. The rest of us also know that a stupid argument is a stupid argument, whether it's proffered by a straight person or a gay person. So seriously: Stop fucking with us. You're in way over your head. Well, I don’t believe you’re gay.

The argument that gays should be treated equally 100% though, including being called "married", just does not fly. Gays cannot procreate by nature, opposite sex couples can. That is not equal, it is unequal. A gay couple is different than a straight couple because of this distinction. Thus, you cannot claim equality 100% in "gay marriage". Those who do are either ignorant to this distinction, getting caught up in the bandwagon syndrome, simply total egomaniacs, or some other description I haven't thought of. Gays that are obsessed with this issue would be better served leaving the term "marriage" for the straights and getting over yourselves. You cannot make new human beings in your commitment, so you are not equal. I am gay and I approve this message.

I was more taking issue with the "rich" part of your comment, which to me at least sounds a lot like the depiction of Jews as rich exploiters. Are you accusing the mormons of anything less? I realize it's a single line of your post and said in jest, it just caught my eye. Polarization of sides on this issue won't serve either group, in that scenario it's winner take all. Let's end the persecution and name-calling on both sides and maybe we'll be able to work this out. Point taken Mr Ott, agreed, the mormons had an important role in supporting Proposition 8.

And I'll second Fraz's praise, Mr. Hooks, with a cheer for TL's "Fuck You," as well. What? You expect me to maintain decorum just 'cause I blog here? You got the wrong RobNoxious. (Grin) Great Post.
