Gah!

The gay marriage ban in Tennessee passed by 81%. Meaning 81% of the state's voting population are against gay couples having the same rights given to straight couples, a rationale that basically boils down to "the Bible said so, now let's force it on everyone else". Now I remember why I left that damn state and came to Hippytown, NC.

Seriously, I love Tennessee. I just hate the sorts of people there. Lovely folks until you ask them to be tolerant.

EDIT: Dude, Rumsfield resigned. WTF. I guess the day isn't so bad after all.

BRIDE OF EDIT: But we got the House! And the Senate! Booyaka!

It's a line in the old testament and a few lines in Romans that could just as well translate as "the Romans need to stop screwing the male prostitutes". The rest is homophobia.

Yeah, it's just that it's explained and/or discussed so seldom, I get the impression that the speakers haven't actually read it - well, thought about it - themselves. (Like many of us students, riffling through books for a quote that looks like it fits our essay argument.)

They just thump the Bible and don't back it up.

Define "thump".

There's far more to it than that.
