Wonderland
Burlesque’s
Turdscooters of the Week:
The AFA and The FRC
Sigh.
You had
to know - what with the Supreme Court set to rule on the validity of gay
marriage bans - that there would be a rush of homophobic rhetoric.
Flapping
their arms in the air like a bunch of frightened, lavender-haired grannies, the
AFA (American Family Association) and the FRC (Family Research Council) have wasted
no time scooting to the front of the line in order to hysterically babble their
usual nonsense.
Last
week, echoing sentiments expressed in October by mouthpiece Bryan Fisher, the
AFA President Tim Wildmon demanded that Justices Ruth Bader Ginsberg and Elena
Kagan recuse themselves from the decision because “their impartiality has been severely
compromised” due to all the “sodomy-based wedding ceremonies” the two have
officiated.
Of
course, neither man has taken issue with allowing the likes of well-documented
homophobe Antonin Scalia or the other conservative Justices from stepping down,
but then those Justices support the outcome The AFA would like, so… ummm…
yeah.
In
other news, we have the FRC’s Tony Perkins claiming (yet again) that gay
marriage will hurt Christians! (Won’t
somebody think of the Christians!)
Awww.
Yes, it’s
that same tired argument. You know: the
one for which they have no proof. Not
that it stops them from speaking in tongues - for that is what their argument sounds
like those with more logical minds.
It’s
okay. They can say what they wish. This country’s constitution preserves their
right to expose their own ignorance.
If we
are lucky, and the Justices do the right thing (their jobs), media appearances
by both organizations may simply become a thing of the past, for, by making
such panic-stricken leaps of logic, both organizations would seem to be ringing
their own death knells. I mean, faced
with my own extinction, I’m sure I would lose my fucking mind and start
spouting absurd rubbish, too.
So,
dearly beloved, as we are gathered here; let’s all don a black lace veil (of
contempt), wipe a (jaundiced) tear from our eyes, and toss a thorny rose of
hope in the hole as their caskets descend, as a means of saluting Wonderland
Burlesque’s Turdscooters of the Week: The
American Family Association and The Family Research Council.
May these
organizations soon R.I.P (Rest In Pieces).
Oh, I
know that they will probably continue to hobble on, bumping into walls, feeding
on the slow and lame - funded by the lunatic fringe : those people who refuse
to accept reality.
But, no
matter, for these groups will, indeed, be quite dead. Zombies, all.
Which,
if I remember correctly, is a state they have always wanted to attain - you
know? So they can truly live in the
image of that original zombie who upon the third day rose from the dead, blah,
blah, blah.
Eh, as Patron
Saint of the Gays, George Michael once said: you gotta have faith.
