I’m not going to get all polit­i­cal and shit on this blog, but I have some­thing to say about this Prop 8 mess, specif­i­cally about the four “expert” wit­nesses for the defense who have dropped out of the trial for fear of ret­ri­bu­tion by “vio­lent homo­sex­u­als.” If these peo­ple were so right­eous in defend­ing mar­riage in the eyes of god and the bible, and if they’re so con­vinced that they are right about gays and how evil we are and how we shouldn’t be allowed to be mar­ried, why are they so afraid of a con­fronta­tion with other peo­ple? Why are they so afraid to defend what they believe? After all, they’ve got god on their side. These four “expert” wit­nesses are cow­ards for drop­ping out.

Fur­ther­more, what is a “vio­lent homo­sex­ual”? I have visions in my head about what being a vio­lent gay is, and these images con­sist of uni­corns puk­ing up rain­bows, feather boas, moun­tains of glit­ter, and show­tunes. They cer­tainly don’t con­sist of death and destruction.

And you know, let’s boil this down to the brass tacks: it’s called igno­rance, peo­ple. Just call a spade a fuck­ing spade already. It’s not fear. It’s not god’s will. It’s just plain igno­rance, and igno­rance is ugly. It’s not like their biased hate speech will make much of a dif­fer­ence any­way. I mean, it will just be four peo­ple regur­gi­tat­ing what each of them has said before. So I guess it’s good that they’re not show­ing up; with two peo­ple, we won’t have to endure the cow­ardly hate­ful speech for as long as we would have with six.
