I vote for mandatory gay marriages for all
I 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.
