Here's a little hint to bigotted dumbasses.

When you make a statement like "if we allow homosexuals to marry -- what's to stop the broadening of marriage laws further? What's to prevent people from marrying their animals?" You're equating homosexuals to subhuman status.

You are saying that their happiness, their relationships and their lives are bestial.

You're not just being offensive when you do that. You're taking human beings and reducing them to chattel.

If there is a Heaven and there is a Hell? Doing that shit should be what sends you to Hell.

If you're right and you get to go to Heaven? I would rather go to Hell.

My sire brought home his boyfriend(s) more than once. I don't despise him for preferring guys (bi-to-gay, I'd place him; he had four kids, after all). I despise him because he promised monogamy, he promised respect, he promised love, and he was a filthy liar, emotionally abusive, and sometimes physically abusive to my mom.

Makes me wish I was the mailman's, but no, my mom swears not. Dammit.

Despite that... Maybe even because of it? (Some of the gay guys he brought home -- either as lovers or eye-candy, I honestly don't know -- were actually pretty sweet guys. Only one of them, I think, was actually aware that my sire was not engaging in permitted polyamory but was instead perpetrating non-consensual adultery. And that one was a jerk for going along with it.) Anyway, I'm actually all for same-sex marriage. Homosexual doesn't equal slime. Slime equals slime, and homosexuality is no protection against someone just being a jerk, same as any other human.

Got no clue if that'd actually help you. But you're not alone. (I danced when my mom filed for divorce.)
