I had to run some errands today, and my daughter was feeling up to it, so we went out for awhile. There was a woman with several petitions outside the store today, covering varying things. One of the things listed was marriage. I asked what about marriage. She replied with the One Man One Woman thing. Just on the face of that, I was COMPLETELY turned off to signing anything at her table.

I made it a point to say that her stance was entirely homophobic and bigoted.

1. the Equality folks actually have a 'rapid response' team to go picket

those signature takers and hand out flyers

let me see if I can find the link, I heard it on GayUSA last night

4. I wish I knew why people think it would

hurt their marriage if gays were allowed to marry. What is it to them? I don't get it.

[KitchenWitch]

5. Exactly.

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

6. Because they'd make them look bad by maybe staying together?

I bet this woman's own marriage is a fraud.

7. What an idiot

People with multiple petitions lose focus.

8. Well...it was a damn good thing I wasn't there, because I would have urinated on her table

really...I would have

9. I'm glad you said something.

If enough people say something, and enough other people hear it often enough, we could sway public opinion.

And maybe then the stupid bigots wouldn't be getting their way.

:hug:

10. Good for you!

Those people just really frost me!

:grr:

[MissMillie]

11. I probably would have said

"sorry, but I don't believe the government should ever get so big that it interferes in people's lives that way."

[KitchenWitch]

13. I am going to remember that....good response.

[badgerpup]

12. Remember when there were a bunch of people in front of the library...

...marching, waving signs and buttonholing people to SIGN THE PETION!!!...apparently, there was...

Floride in the drinking water!

:wtf:

(hint: it's fluoride, not 'floride')


Shades of Moran Man!
I just have a hard time taking people seriously if they can't be bothered to even spell stuff right on their signs.
Makes them look as though they're sheeple running on noise and emotions...
as opposed to informed, passionate citizens.
Operative word being "INFORMED" there...



:rant:

[KitchenWitch]

14. at least it wasn't Florida in their drinking water...

:hide:

[Oeditpus Rex]

15. What was her response?

I bet it began with "god" or "the bible." :eyes:

[KitchenWitch]

17. Frankly, I just dropped the bigot bomb on her and left.

[Breeze54]

16. Good for you but I would have "accidently" kicked that card table over!

:P

:yourock:

[KitchenWitch]

18. Don't think that the idea didn't cross my mind.

[Breeze54]

20. I'm sure it did!! LOL!

:P

:hi:

19. I can't wait to encounter the "shower nuts" in November outside my voting place

In my county (Montgomery MD) they want to get reverse allowing transgender people to pick what restrooms and locker rooms they use claiming that women and girls are in danger of assault. I'll try to remember to be terrified that someone in a neighboring stall or at my gym might not have one of the two standard sets of genitals. I'm sure transgender people don't actually pee or change clothes, THEY ALL WANT TO RAPE ME. :eyes:

21. You know what they say about those family values types?

Keep your kids away from them!

[Pushed To The Left]

22. I'll never understand those kinds of people. If it was for a ballot measure, they

were probably trying to get it on there to bring out the knuckledragger vote in November so they can have the right wing Supreme Court they've been wanting.
