Statement

(This same statement will be posted to RadioNosferatu.com.)

My friends,

Today, President Bush called for a constitutional amendment that would ban same-sex marriage. This is bald-faced election year pandering to the religious right, and I will not stand for it. As the nephew of a gay man and the friend of so very many more gay men and women, I cannot stand for it. As someone who has seen the results of an otherwise wonderful young man beaten into a coma in the parking lot of a movie theater where I was a cast member of The Rocky Horror Picture Show for the sole fact of his love for and sexual activites with other men, I have an absolute moral obligation not to stand for it.

Therefore, I am officially - and it must be said, without prior consultation with the staff - throwing the support of Radio Nosferatu behind the inevitable efforts to cast light on this shameful act.

We will help raise awareness of the issues surrounding the impending public debate. We will keep the public informed of developments concerning this issue, and we will fight until the last drop of blood has left our bodies to make sure this will not stand.

We will be providing information about voter registration so that our audience can exercise the single most powerful weapon an American citizen posesses - the vote.

Mr. Bush, I have the utmost respect for the office of President Of The United States. I have utmost respect for the magnificent Constitution that is the bedrock of that office. Too bad it would seem that you do not.

Hate and discrimination must not and WILL not EVER be codified in the Constitution of these United States!

I thank you.

Doc Webster,
owner and co-operator of Radio Nosferatu

So in other words, you're a moron who doesn't particularly care that Bush considers me and my boyfriend somewhat less than human? Fuck you, the horse you rode in on, and your pathetic excuse for a brain.

Ah, ah, ah! I made this post calmly, and I'll not abide name calling. Be a good Pengy. If she wants to vote for Bush, such is her perogative(sp?). I don't understand it, but that's her right. Behave, you ol' DJing Pengy, you... well.. sort of. Hee.

It may be her right, but that doesn't make it any less moronic. How anyone with a conscience, or with any gay friends, could possibly countenance voting for that bigoted asshole is beyond me. Voting for him is saying, whether she likes it or not, that she agrees that I am a second-class being, and as such I will exercise my right to call her a moron.

I must admit, this is proceeding a lot more civilly than I would have expected.

You know, I did some checking and Ranada and I qualify for emigration to Canada on points alone. HMMMMMM...

DO IT

No. But thanks for the insult. I'll have to remember that one in the future.

I actually think that gays and lesbians might wind up having more success with marriage than many straight people, given the divorce rates.

I'm voting for Bush because, for the most part, I agree with his stance on the issues. Not EVERY SINGLE INDIVIDUAL THING, but a majority of them. I think he's done a damn good job as president so far, and should be given the opportunity to continue doing so.

I wasn't making the comment that I'm still voting for him because I'm a moron, but mostly because it reminded me that I still need to register to vote, because a) I'm old enough to and b) I actually care enough and have taken an interest enough to feel that my vote would be an informed one.

Would you care to provide some specific examples of the "damn good job" he has done? I'm being dead serious, I can't think of a single one in a single area.

[dirtynumbangel.livejournal.com]

No matter. By voting for him you are supporting his bigotry. As such, you're not only a moron, you're also a fairly despicable human being.

Dude, stay headstrong

Yeah, you know, I'm with you there. At first I found your initial comment a bit harsh, but after giving her a chance to justify her statement, and the subsequent actions by her – I’ve come to the simple conclusion that she IS an idiot. Not only has she chosen to not even answer me here, I also asked her, quite politely, over in her own journal too (in a post ragging about us silly Anti Bush people) to justify her "damn good job" statement. Not only could she not come up with a single thing to support that hate filled asshat excuse for a "President", she just DELETED MY COMMENT! No doubt she would have done it here too if she could have. Yeah, she is a Bush sheeple little girl that knows nothing. She hasn't thought Jack or Shit through and is simply yet another mindless follower that has been programmed to support a stereotype and not analyze individuals and their actions for their merit. She probably thinks "he's soooooo cute" and supports the man of hate based on that. Lord knows she couldn’t justify her support any other way. The proof is in her silence and flippant use of the delete key.
