i might be in a tree

really random and irregular musings (blurb #64)


latest anti-gay hate psa is out, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=haVqcPfeqKI

it is infuriating watching this, even more so knowing it changes hearts and minds

it's a thinly veiled retelling of the 'adam and eve not adam and steve' brain-dead chant wrapped in the innocent guise of children saying contrived things to pull at your heartstrings

tell the first child: yes thats okay, any two people who love each other should be able to get married

tell the second child: whatever you want, kids say a lot of weird things, i kinda agree with her, it is an old fashioned idea, and it is true that a child may choose to reject a religion in the face of its stance on gay marriage

tell the third kid: actually you're missing the point entirely, its not about what god created or its about accepting how things are, you don't need to connect every modern relationship back to the way "god created the first men and women"

tell the fourth kid: you wouldn't have a mom, not everyone has a mom but you do have a mom because this is how you were born, some people are born in different situations, the most important thing is not which sex your parents are but that you are loved

tell the fifth kid: it is okay to be confused, you will often be confused by the many horrible things in the world, the most confusing of which is the human capacity for hating other humans

fear mongering backwards idiots really piss me off
