Yes, while more American soldiers die in Iraq and while more American civilians are kidnapped and may soon suffer the fate of Nicholas Berg, what do the Republicans in Congress decide to focus their attention on? Passing a constitutional amendment making gay Americans second class citizens.
This just in from the Human Rights Campaign:
Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist (R-TN) is expected to announce that he will bring up the Federal Marriage Amendment for a vote in the second week of July. Senator Santorum (R-PA) has already admitted that he does not have the votes to pass the FMA. Given the timing of the vote, this seems to be a political move designed to put Democrats on the record before the Democratic Convention. But given the number of Republicans who also oppose the FMA or are likely to vote against it, this is a misguided attempt to turn an important vote against discrimination into a political weapon.To all gays and straights who support these asses, you're an enemy combattant and a traitor. If you're gay (or have any other family-values problem) and you support these vermin in making sexual orientation a political weapon, then your sexual orientation is fair game, and you will be outed to the rafters. It's take no prisoners time, folks. These folks declared war on us in the name of the missionary position, and they're gonna get a war that makes sure every single one of them is as chaste as they want to force us to be.
I want names, folks. If you got 'em, I'm making a list.
