I followed a link at
trollprincess's LJ, and I read a very interesting entry by
thebratqueen, here. The woman was replying - in a very eloquent and very witty way - to a post where someone was arguing against allowing gay marriages in the US.
I know, same old, same old. Those people
thebratqueen was replying to, were arguing about the fact that gay shouldn't be allowed to marry because, of course, everyone knows marriage is meant for the only purpose of procreation, and since gay couples can't procreate, well, who the hell do they think they are to wish for it, right? They were also arguing about taxes, and, oh yeah, the infamous religious reasons, of course.
I won't even talk about the fact that technically, there's nothing stopping me from having a baby- whether I'm married or not with my female SO, btw. It'll just be a little more complicated than how it's supposed to be, but everything works just fine, thank you for worrying. I'm also a little surprised. I mean, if those people really think two people shouldn't marry based on the assumption that they can't have children, they should be opposed to straight but sterile couples marrying, right? It's strange though, cause I never heard about something like that! Weird. Oh well, I guess it only works for us, gay people [/sarcasm]
Also, I realised something I never ever realised before. I actually have Super Powers! I'm not kidding! I actually have the power to a) turn a lot of people gay and b) destroy humankind.
Yeah, you're all afraid, now, aren't you? And quite impressed I bet.
Thanks to those homophobic people, I'm now aware of my abilities, and really, I'm feeling so much powerful now. They were nice enough to explain everything. See, if I'm allowed to marry the woman of my life, or if my friend Manu is allowed to marry the man of his dream, there're some big chances it's going to turn a lot of people around us gay as well. I thought about it, and you're going to be happy to know that I found a scientific explanation for this: I think on our wedding day, we're all be exuding some kind of gay pheromones which will touch every straight men and women around us, and they'll be succumbing to some kind of Gay Mutation. Why didn't I ever think that my marrying a woman would push other people into marrying someone from the same sex! I'm a living and breathing threat!
If you're still not totally convinced about my super powers, this one will make a believer out of you. I have the power to destroy mankind. Because of me and my wife, children will stop being born, and because of other gay like me, humankind will stop. It's as simple as that. Forget about the notion that straight people should outnumber gay people by around 90:10. Forget about the fact that gay people can have children after all. Forget about all that! We have the power to stop the birth of every new future human being. Wow, I was humbled by this ability of mine, believe me!
So, now I understand things a little better *nods* I also understand better why some of your everyday Civil Rights aren't allowed for people like me. Thanks *bows*
Wow, all this new knowledge exhausted me! It's not every day you learn you're one of the Biggest Villains that ever existed! Right next to Satan, I'd say. Know what? I'm going to watch some Oz episodes again, and see some canon m/m to help me get over the shock! *wide eyes*
I know, same old, same old. Those people

Oh and I just have one word: Hail to all those old civilizations! And to those who don't really see anything wrong with it. I can't help immediately thinking about the berdach --Two-Spirits-- in those cases.
