A “traditional” marriage that America should celebrate!

Two years ago, the religious cabals and their amen corners that were campaigning to preserve “traditional marriage” (aka the Yes on Prop 8 campaign) won 52% of the vote and took away the rights of same sex couples to enter into consentual mutual contracts with one another.

While I believe that marriage licenses are no business of the state and an archaic idea should ultimately be abolished, I want to offer my belated congratulations to the Mormon Church and their zealot megachurch allies on their Nov. 2008 victory that helped preserve this institution and kept “family values” alive and well.  Thanks to your hard work and undying dedication to the Yes on 8 campaign, people like Carol Anne Riddell and John Partilla are now free to keep “traditional marriage” alive in America and be the bastion of “family values” for the rest of America to emulate without interference from them pesky and annoying gay, lesbian and transgendered people.

I don’t know what we supporters of marriage equality were thinking when we were out there holding our protest signs during the 2008 election. We must have been real shortsighted and selfish in not allowing nuptials like this to occur. Thanks to the example of Carol Anne Riddell and John Partilla of New York City, I have now seen the light and regret saying all kinds of nasty things about your church and your “values.”  I hope in time you will come to forgive me for my dereliction and pure selfishness on the issue of “traditional marriage.”   The values of Carol Anne Riddell and John Partilla are something that I hope my daughter will one day emulate when she becomes an adult and is considering when she decides to find that special someone of the opposite sex.

Anyway, have a Happy Holidays, Merry Christmas, Hannakuh, Festivus or whatever manufacutred…oops I meant “traditional” holiday you choose to celebrate.

Love,

Guy Fawkes

To the reader:

Here is example of “traditional marriage” that the Yes on 8 campaign was fighting to preserve. As you read their story, be sure to enjoy and celebrate this cherished institution that people from the Mormon Church and Rick Warren fought so hard to “preserve” for people like Carol Anne Riddell and John Partilla.   As the New York Times reminds us,  we need more “traditional marriages” like this in America.
