Daddy, Papa and Me

An unconventional family in a conventional world, taking notes

Did you know that whoever marries us is no better than a Nazi obeying an order to gas Jews?

Ask your county clerk if they were a Nazi officer during WWII and had been ordered to gas the Jews, would they? At the Nuremberg trials, they would have been convicted of murder for following this immoral order,”

That is what the group “Save California” says in it’s plea to it’s members to get county clerks to disobey the court order to allow marriage equality. Now, frankly, I believe that if someone believes strongly enough that a law is ‘unjust,’ they have every right to disobey that law in protest. They also should face the consequences (sanction, firing, whatever the appropriate response).

But to suggest that the clerk marrying Guy and I is as guilty as the Nazi officer’s who obeyed orders to systematically slaughter millions of innocent men, women and children, wow. I knew these anti-gay groups thought we were diseased vermin, but wow…

You know, the silver lining to this? I think it means the opposition has lost the argument.

    What, the crazier their rhetoric the more likely they are to lose the big amendment fight? Hm.

    Maybe we’ll be seeing KKK sponsored pro-anti-marriage amendment rallies.

    Hello. My name is Edgar and I’m an editor at OpposingViews.com, the debate website. Since we both cover homosexuality, I thought I’d drop you a note. I would’ve e-mailed you but I couldn’t find an address.
    See, we’re currently having a discussion about whether or not homosexuality is a sin. You can see it here:

    Although vetted experts are the ones doing the debating, anyone can contribute by choosing a side and posting comments about the experts’ arguments.
    Check it out and, if you have the time, send me your thoughts via e-mail.
    Thanks!
