Responding to the fact that corporations in Washington state, large and small, are lining up to support the law legalizing marriage equality in that state [because it's good for business], Porno Pete:
Peter LaBarbera of Americans for Truth About Homosexuality (AFTAH) says, “What we’re witnessing is the continued descent of the American corporation into this pro-’gay’ world of celebrating anything that the homosexual activists want.”
“There was a time when homosexual so-called ‘marriage’ was beyond the pale, even for liberal corporate types,” LaBarbera recalls. “But now we see Microsoft, Starbucks, and other major corporations backing this perverse redefinition of marriage. It’s very sad.”
[...]
“They ignore that the majority of states oppose same-sex marriage — not only oppose it, but they put it in their constitutions to keep marriage by its traditional definition,” the AFTAH president notes. “So if they’re really about keeping up with the majority of states, you’d think they’d side with the traditional marriage side.”
He sounds so dejected. I guess that whole alliance between big business and social conservatives is being exposed as the sham it always was, and the fact that the social conservatives have always been the “useful idiots” in the equation is clearer than ever.
Of course, the “majority of states” that enshrined discrimination into their constitutions did so long before gay activists were really in the fight. Re-fight all of those battles again [and they will be refought] and the results would be quite different.
When Joe posted this from Porno Pete, he added a line to the end of the quote that said, simply, “Wait, is that my gerbil ringing?” I think that’s a marvelous new practice, considering Pete’s friendship with Patrick Wooden, who just might be as weird as he is.
Silly, Porno Pete. Companies are allowed to have an opinion. After all, corporations are people, my friend!
I think that would be perfect, everytime Porno Pete has something to say we will just remark “Porno Pete’s gerbil is ringing again”.
Porno Pete reminds me of a ‘big daddy’ in a white suit, smoking a cigar and still lamenting the fact that his slaves were freed and ol’ Dixie’s golden age is juss slippin away because of them libral carpet baggin’ varmints from the North. Pete –YOU’VE LOST! So just shut the f**k up. Oh, it’s time for me to go to *Starbucks*!
So, because the majority of states enshrine the sin of homophobia in their Constitutions, that makes it RIGHT? That’s like saying since a Presidential candidate is a seral adulterer and a liar, that makes those things right! Sin is sin and radical anti-gay activist Porno Pete needs to repent instead of trying to recruit others into acting on their sinful homophobic urges.
What a sad, sad man. But not for the reasons he thinks.
