The State of North Carolina dealt a fatal blow this week to same sex marriage and civil unions with the passage of Amendment One, arguing that marriage shall remain exclusively between a man and a woman. The media says they're all "bigots". Apparently, they were driven by a typically Southern hatefulness. Supporting gay marriage has become a kind of cultural signifier, a way of distinguishing oneself from the ignorant throng.
In the intensively divided America of 2012, being against gay marriage can now be seen almost as an act of political rebellion against a faraway elite which fears and loathes anyone who is not like them.
The Episcopal Church's leading lesbian (the Rev.) Susan Russell called the vote a "shameful exercise of ballot-box bigotry in North Carolina." She looked with disgust upon the people of North Carolina for voting in favor of Amendment 1 by an overwhelming 61 per cent. The amendment to the state's constitution says, "Marriage between one man and one woman is the only domestic legal union that shall be valid or recognized in this state."
Her racist remarks, equating being gay with being black, are highlighted by the fact that most blacks in the state supported the Amendment. So much for conflating "homophobia" with racism. Of course, gays and lesbians will stop at nothing to import their behavior into the church. They don't mind who they trample on to get their way. Anyone who opposes their behavior is, of course, homophobic and should be consigned to their version of hell - presumably, with no partner at all. Anyone who opposes their agenda is automatically a bigot and full of hatred and subject to much ridicule.
