Minnesota gay marriage ban 'will prevent world from ending'
By Jessica Geen • March 18, 2009 - 15:07


The world will end if gays marry, religious groups have said

The Minnesota Family Council has introduced an amendment to ban gay marriage, which it claims will stop the world from ending.

The group made the announcement at a press conference, accompanied by religious leaders from all major faiths who said that gay marriage would trigger the end of the world.

“If everyone is a gay, this world will cease to exist in ten years,” said Ikram ul-Huq, the imam and religious director of the Muslim Community Center of Bloomington.

Andre Dukes, pastor of Shiloh Temple church in Minneapolis, said: "This is not a political issue, or an issue of choice or rights. It is an issue of life."

Legislation introduced recently in Minnesota and currently passing through committees would permit gay marriage by making the marriage laws gender-neutral.

Commentators have said the amendment to ban gay marriage is unlikely to pass.


Phew! For a minute I thought the world was in real danger of all 6.7 billion,and growing, human population catching Teh Gay and stop having kids! Or wait...is it that gays ARE having kids that's a problem???

I keep getting the righwing looney tunes memo's so confused. :shrug:

7. But look at the subtext
What they are really saying is that they would all be gay if it weren't for the draconian laws they have to implement to prevent it.

Gay is so attractive that they can't stop themselves any other way.

They know it's only their self-hatred that keeps them away from that yummy same-sex temptation down the street. And they are terrified that, even when they watch straight porn, they are really enjoying the sight of their own sex's genitalia rather than the opposite one.

EDUCATION is the answer, assholes. Not unconstitutional, vindictive, repressive laws.

8. It's kind of a hilarious premise, if they don't stop Teh Gay
the world will end.

My favorite new lie is: it's not about laws or justice. Oh, Bullsh*t! It's about paranoid, bigoted, fantasies, fears and lies.

It's totally about justice and equality, the only way to dismiss that now is some crazy end of the world libel???

9. Oh, for fuck's sake.
I DO wish they'd make up their minds.

First, they start endless wars in the middle east hoping to set off "Armageddon."

Now, they are afraid the world will end if gay people are allowed to get married.

Now, what do they want? Do they want the world to end or not?

God, they gripe my ass with their bullshit.

11. Why is some of the most hateful sh*t
always couched on the justification of religion? It never seems to get too old or too stale to keep some from repeating the same libel over and over again.

10. Interesting that the imam doesn't say why the world would cease to exist, or how.
I thought we only had 3 years, anyway; til 2012.

14. don't they ever ask themselves what it is that is so compelling about gay dick and lesbian vagina?
that's what they're REALLY talking about -- their obsession with someone else's naughty bits.
