Angry Conservatives Celebrate Prop 8

Over at the conservative Ace of Spades blog, Gabe Malor wrote:

On Prop 8: I know most of you disagree with me about it. But could we have a moment of silence for those poor fools who were happily married or engaged yesterday and today are finding out that they don’t have squat? Prop 8 was much more personal than some silly high-speed train or hospital funding. People are hurting today. And I’m one of them.

The resultant comments are pretty astounding and serve as a reminder (as if we needed one) of the sheer weight of the ignorance driving the anti-gay-rightes movement.

A few choice examples:

Dang:

Wow.  I’m really hurting for all the guy who want to marry their sisters.  The gals who want to marry their Doberman Pinschers.  The pain.  The hurt.  The dudes who want a half dozen wives?  Is it hurt x 6?  Gotta be.  Got.  To.  Be.

Bill:

Sucked in faggots. You especially Gabriel.

Tee:

Gabe, if gays should wed, then please give a rational argument why a man marrying three willing, of age, women is illegal?

Naqamel:

The only reason government recognizes any marriage is to regulate the transference of land and title to biological children of the current spouse.

History is rife with examples of the first born bastard son born to the mistress not getting a damn thing while the second born son born of the wife is the first in line for the throne.

Since homosexual unions can not create biological offspring, there is no reason for Government to recognize such unions as a marriage.

Furthermore, by forcing me to accept a homosexual union as a marriage infringes on my right to free expression of religion, which teaches that homosexual conduct is sinful.

I’m glad Prop 8 looks like it’s passing, and I’m not going to apologize for feeling that way.

Etcetera, etcetera. Pretty gross.
