vicarzI wanted to take the time to do a long post about this weekend, but as I see my week forming I can tell if I don't spew out some crap now it'll never be written.
SO a short gay political wedding highlight
Went to a wedding of friends at the Naval Academy.
Was excited to see the priest was a black female
Then da' bitch opened her mouth...
The ceremony language was extremely politically devisive, lauding on about how MARRIAGE was between a MAN and a WOMAN to form a FAMILY and if GOD BLESSES them with PROCREATION to ... it was HORRIBLE. The whole thing was very reactionary and parroting every right-wing anti-gay-marriage argument.
Freedom of religion? No, fail argument. I mean sure it was done in the chapel, but this was on the taxpayer funded government run military naval academy, so the proselytizing and political one-sided speech was taxpayer funded and showed all the auspices of office - essentially tax-funded political right-wing posturing assault upon all the victims therein.
Turns out there were 8 weddings that day and the priest wasn't the one who wrote the speech, so the hating her was misplaced (good, because hearing that bigoted bullshit out of a af-amer military female was a huge disappointment).
On the way out of the grounds I stopped to do a Y-M-C-A dance...
Other revenge in my head was watching the naval dress uniforms in the gay dance club later that evening.
As for the rest of the weekend - geek wedding for the win, it was awesome.
Steampunk is kinda cool, and it seems like they all swing-dance.

Date: 2010-06-07 12:40 pm (UTC)I got married in the Catholic church and our priest kept his topics to love and respect and patience, etc. He was wonderful (we did the church wedding for our Grandmas and parents, FWIW.) I would have gone ballistic if the priest had started spouting off about shit like that
