republicans are out to get gays and lesbians
Somebody tried to tell me once that the cultural war against gays and such things as the Federal Marriage Amendment (FMA) was a bipartisan effort. Perhaps it is a teensy bit bipartisan, as I'm sure there are a few conservative Democrat pricks out there. But those spearheading the efforts and writing the bills are primarily conservative Republican pricks. In fact, this weekend the GOP is spearheading an information campaign meant to sway legislators support of the FMA. As in the GOP is trying to make sure gays never get the same rights as straight couples. As in the GOP is out to get us. The lines are clearly drawn here - if you are gay and a member of the GOP, you are allied with a group of people who are working very diligently to restrict and prevent equal rights. This translates to me as moral corruption, with such gays being unable to differentiate between right and wrong.
Ever since the 'sanctity of marriage' speech I've had a teeth-gnashing, gut twisting problem with gay Republicans. I can barely speak to the ones on the rugby team, especially the ones who work in the offices of those legislators who have voted against things like gays ability to adopt and workplace protections for gays and lesbians. I don't understand how they can go to work every day, much less wake up in the morning. When you work with someone who is out to get you and your kind, there is clearly some sort of disconnect with your moral code.
Speaking of vermin, I've been all about the cicadas this week. On Sunday after cleaning up party mess, I went for a long bike ride up the Capital Cresent Trail along the Potomac, deep into the major swarmings in the forest. I heard no less than three different types of buzzing going on: a low-level War-Of-The-Worlds spaceship sort of noise, a buzzing noise and a noise similar to my bike gears without lube.
Monday night I went up to the wilds of Silver Spring, where it was starting to stank from so many cicadas. It was either their piss or their carcasses, but the stank was building. They are not cute anymore after that point. After I got the cicada tour, we went to a small gathering of gays at a local bar in Laurel, MD. Yes folks, I drove past the protective barrier known as the Beltway and ventured into another state.
Clickboo totally stalked my house and took pictures at the party this weekend. I think he fancies himself as a Geraldo Rivera of sorts. At least his pics turned out better than mine:
The pornucopia in the masturbatorium (computer in my room)
A couple of queens violating my bed
My roomate's Swanktuary
My milkshake is better than yours.
Amnityville Demon Kitty.
I didn't know my roomate had kept the teeth molds from the previous tenants of the house.
My fly 'do from behind.
Of course everyone ended up in the kitchen.
Two cute guys in one pic.

Can I come violate your bed? I'm a registered Democrat if that helps.

My goodness. That looks like it was quite some party. Your milkshake is pretty sweet (and definately better than mine).
I have friend who is Republican. She has quite a few gay friends besides me. Her support of Bush shows her indifference towards us. I want to smack her.
The whole Gay Republican thing still confuses me.

Looks like your party was a blast. Your hair does look good that way along with you being all clean shaven. Glad y'all had such a good time.

I'm really curious as to what those X-rays are showing? What does the roomie do for a living?

I'm with you there - I tried to be tolerant, but it's gone too far. The Republican party has mutated into something very ugly in the past few decades and it just keeps getting uglier. It's socially hostile and fiscally irresponsible. The word "conservative" certainly no longer fits.
Oh, what the hell. I'll just say it. The party is a lost cause. The evangelical Christians and big business are in command now. Gay Republicans are no longer just greedy and selfish, they are self-destructive. Traitors.
At best in denial. At worst, f*cked in the head.
