I have Super Powers and I didn't even know it!

[castalie]

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*

Yeah, I'm afraid. Why can't they just let people be? I hate them.
But tell you what? Until 1910, a sterile wedding could be annuled. See? You were not so far from reality.
You're not the best villain after Satan. Vern Schillinger is. Cheer up! LOL

And let's not forget those anti-miscegenation laws that were on the books for a quite a while too.

Either that or gayness is just SO wonderful, so totally irresistible that if anyone, anywhere has half a chance they'll turn gay immediately, thereby dooming the human race to extinction.

People can be so stupid and so insensitive.

hey, don't forget your ability to turn people gay by refusing to date them - it worked for at least one guy lol

okay, jokes aside, look at the roman empire: homosexuality was the "norme" and the world didn't end! as someone else commented, don't forget that sterile marriages could be considered as nul, so...

Yeah, you're all afraid, now, aren't you? And quite impressed I bet.

I tremble in fear... ;)

Hahahahaha! Go you, you big, gay, villain! :D Go kick some het butt! :D
BTW, as a bisexual, I take it that I am only half-evil and less powerful than you gay people! Bugger!

[donnaimmaculata.livejournal.com]

I'm always rather amazed at how well articulated and logically some people defend their anti-gay-marriage views. I am certainly convinced. And now, you Big Bad Villain, please de-friend me. I don't want any gay vibes to get me via mysterious virtual connections.

[donnaimmaculata.livejournal.com]

Um, I'm not quite sure this is entirely correct. As far as I'm aware, bisexuals are generally considered even More Evil than gays. Probably, because after a gay relationship they can instantly proceed to a normal one and infect their previously normal partner with the gay virus.

Solution. Move to Canada. We are so very close to legalizing gay/lesbian marriage. ;) It's too cold to go to hell up here.

[castalie.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I know about those old laws. Well, I wouldn't have been able to give the date though, mind you- but you would think there would have been some *real* differences between --literally-- the last century and the new one. Except it seems that for a step forward, there're two or even three steps backward *sigh*

And you're right, I can't beat Vern Schillinger anyway! lol

Either that or gayness is just SO wonderful, so totally irresistible that if anyone, anywhere has half a chance they'll turn gay immediately, thereby dooming the human race to extinction.

Well, I sure like this theory better *g* Well, the 'gayness being so wonderful', in particular lol

People can be so stupid and so insensitive.

No doubt about that, unfortunately.

You won't ever let it down, will you? lol

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.

[castalie.livejournal.com]

I tremble in fear... ;)

Well, you should! lol

[castalie.livejournal.com]

Hmm dunno. Are you half-evil and less powerful than us gay people, or actually twice as powerful? Will have to think about that! lol

Big Gay Villain

[castalie.livejournal.com]

I know some people would succumb to their well articulated argument! But know what? I won't ever de-friend you. Nope, you'll be my next victim! *evil maniacal laughter*

Are you scared, yet? *trying to keep her scary look*

[castalie.livejournal.com]

It's true that this destination is looking more appealing each and every day! lol

[babycakesin.livejournal.com]

okay, okay, that was my last mention of it *g*
You know, it's really funny to see that a) you love ancient history, b) ancient history is full of 'slash'! I see a pattern here lol

[castalie.livejournal.com]

Hmm, yeah when you think of it... Well, it was so meant to be! lol

[babycakesin.livejournal.com]

darn right! God, how much I love theories and finding logical explanation to everthing! lol
