God Said, "Ha!"... Or Not.
In proof that maybe the only emotion that the religious right feels is fury, Oregon's Defesne of Marriage Coalition wants a satirical "Defense of Heterosexual Breeding Coalition" statement taken off the voter pamphlet. Reason:
Kelly Clark, attorney for the group, told The Oregonian that the state would not tolerate "such language targeted at the Jewish community, the Islamic community or anybody except the conservative Christian community."
Oh, for fuck's sake. Since when has "queers suck" been a central tenet of Christianity? "Love one another, Christ is the Redeemer, and oh yeah, fags are evil." That's like saying that if I made fun of abortion, I'm being cruel towards all women.
