I imagine that it must really piss off the fundies that Canada hasn't been crushed by the fist of God yet for legalizing gay marriage last year. I guess he was too busy pasting Florida.

He probably figures that living in a backwards, socialist hell hole where everyone gets health insurance is bad enough.

Since it's the provinces who are legalizing gay marriage one at a time, I guess God is going to dole out punishment on that basis. Therefore, Ontario is already facing God's bitter judgement: In the form of Dalton McGuinty :lol:.

I have to wonder if these people honestly believe the only thing that stands between humanity and a gay orgy of universal proportion is the a legalese condemnation of gay marriage?

I wonder if these people think everybody secretly wants to be gay so they must be oppressed to stop them. I certainly see some of that attitude. This is ridiculous, of course; I can truthfully say that guys don't turn me on---but you've got to wonder about some of the more violent homophobes. Especially Jimmy Swaggart, the one who loudly stated that HE IS NOT GAY AND IF YOU LOOK AT HIM WRONG HE'LL SHOOT YOUR QUEER ASS AND INFORM HIS APPARENTLY VERY RETARDED GOD THAT YOU'RE DEAD!!!!

Actually, a gay orgy of universal proportion would make funny newspaper headlines.
