Stolen from someone else on my flist, but some of you may not have seen this yet; I certainly hadn't.

I would really like to make every person who supported Prop 8 watch this video and explain themselves. I dare them to defend their mean-spirited actions, and tell me why allowing two men or women who love each other to marry somehow harms or lessens my heterosexual marriage, and will cause the downfall of society. Because the last time I checked, society was still here in Massachusetts, and so is my perfectly happy marriage.

I saw this last night and thought it was amazing. I had the same "Do unto others . . ." thought about the Yes voters.

I was thinking, "So you're opposed to gay marriage because homosexuality is a sin? So all sinners should be forbidden from marrying, right? Well, according to your god, everyone's a sinner, right? So no marriage for anyone, right? Oh, wait, you say it's only certain types of sin that relate to sex? OK, how about adulterers? Should they be forced to divorce? How about fornicators? If you fornicate with someone, should you be prevented from marrying your co-fornicator?" And then I had to stop thinking about it, because I was getting so pissed off at all the moron religious hypocrites.

I saw this last night and, after I picked myself off the floor, had this conversation with my husband.

Me: "Well, I never need to try to explain that again."
DH: "I'll go find it on YouTube."

I never watched him before the election season, but I'm pretty sweet on him now.

This was stupendous. I hope it isn't only preaching to the choir, but reaches some minds (and hearts) that can be changed.
