Canada's Supreme Court ruled Thursday that gay marriage was constitutional, a landmark opinion allowing the federal government to call on Parliament to legalize same-sex unions nationwide.

Meanwhile, in America, we still have to deal with this schmuck. "Dig a hole," Gerald Allen recommends, "and dump them in it." As somebody else said, I'm not taking literary suggestions from someone who think Shakespeare's character's name was "Hammet."

yha. I think someone should very ernestly send him a suggestion that they really should burn those books. To prevent ground water contamination.

If his office is dumb enough to accept the offer and write a response saying that's a good idea, send the reponse to the AP wires with the headline "Book Burning urged in south " and a tagline "not since Nurenburng 1939 has anyone proposed to burn so many books...."

That makes me sick. But the tone of the article was awesome (and kept me from losing faith in humanity).

I was going to make some witty point about Hamnet Shakespeare, but I find I'm quite unable to muster the brain cells. The stupid must be catching.

Also, New Zealand votes in Civil Union Law (http://www.365gay.com/newscon04/12/120904nzUnions.htm)

Meanwhile, in such thinking, civilised nations as NEW ZEALAND!!

Not knocking them, just a bit of teasing to any NZers reading this. =) We're supposed to be the 'leader of the free world' and ahead of the curve on stuff, or so we'd like to think, but here we are again, going in reverse...

""Traditional family values are under attack," Allen informs me. They've been under attack "for the last 40 years". The enemy, this time, is not al-Qaida. The axis of evil is "Hollywood, the music industry". We have an obligation to "save society from moral destruction". We have to prevent liberal libarians and trendy teachers from "re-engineering society's fabric in the minds of our children". We have to "protect Alabamians""

Fine, go protect your bass-ackward little state that couldn't amend it's constitution to finally get rid of segregation against blacks THIS YEAR because the vote was too close to call, and let the rest of this once-fine nation move into the 20th Century.

Yes, 20th. =P

This wouldn't piss me off so much if every single one of these asshats didn't go around calling everyone who isn't them, "immoral" and "against moral values" and such. Y'know what? I take that personally. I live a good, honest life, or would like to think I do. I get a little miffed when people say that I'm not moral. Yeah, heaven forbid that I try and keep people from being happy and full of love. That's completely immoral.

...And this is a longer rant than anything I've posted in my OWN journal for like a year.

Thank you for posting this. You always have the best mix of funny fluff and important news that I just don't have the time to find these days. I'm going to share these articles with my school's Gay-Straight Student Alliance, who hopefully will spread the word about this attempted censorship and victory in Canada. I really do get scared about this country sometimes, and I live in "The United States of Canada" section. At this rate, I'm going to get out of the country before all non-heterosexual non-Christians have to wear a badge in order to warn the children away.

Oh that man is absolutely disgusting. These things really discourage me. I feel like there is no hope. It does, however, really make me want to fight. Ugh. I am going home soon for break and my dad is so far right, he's about to fall off the edge. It's always fun at home! *big fake smile* But my siblings and I even things out nicely.

And burning books? Hello history! I don't get people...

*bubbles with fury*

I wrote something about that in my livejournal yesterday and i've not been able to stop ranting and freaking about it since.

Good ol' Hammet, from Belmar.
