“Anti-divorce” proponent is a master of dry sarcasm.
John Marcotte doesn’t think California’s prop 8 did enough to protect traditional marriage. He’s trying to make sure that nobody can sully the sacred pact of marriage by getting divorced. His goal is to get this anti-divorce legislation into the 2010 ballot as a voter initiative. He should have no trouble getting all the people who voted for prop 8 to vote for this legislation as well, right?
We’re going to set up a table in front of Wal*Mart and ask people to sign a petition to protect traditional marriage. We’re going to interview them about why they thing traditional marriage is important, and then we’ll tell them that we are trying to ban divorce.
People who supported Prop 8 weren’t trying to take rights away from gays, they just wanted to protect traditional marriage. That’s why I’m confident that they will support this initiative, even though this time it will be their rights that are diminished. To not support it would be hypocritical.
…
Sometimes other people need to sacrifice in order to protect my ideas about traditional marriage. It’s just a fact of life. It’s not about their soul-sucking sham of a marriage, it’s about what we value as a society.
Classic. (via Boingboing)
