This is incredibly stupid and lame. What needs protecting, exactly?

The sanctity of marriage, because of us godless gay commies trying to ruin your special bond. Surely you fear us?

Abraham Lincoln was a good old man
He hopped out the window with his dick in his hand
Said `excuse me lady, I`m doing my duty
So pull down your pants and give me some boody`

from the website:

Purpose of Marriage Protection Week
The sacred institution of marriage is under attack. There are those who want to redefine marriage to include two men, or two women, or a group of any size or mix of sexes: One man and four women, one woman and two men, etc. If they fail to secure legal protection classifying these arrangements as 'marriage,' they want to include all these mixtures under the definition of 'civil union,' giving them identical standing with the marriage of one man and one woman.
They have gained the support of the national media and many politicians. Their efforts are intended to force, by law, 97% of Americans to bow down to the desires of the approximately 3% who are homosexuals.
To call attention to this most critical issue, Oct. 12-18 has been declared MARRIAGE PROTECTION WEEK. You, your church or group is encouraged to help protect the sacred institution of marriage.

Maybe they're talking about the Mormons that still practice polygamy in that part? That was probably thrown in so that if someone accuses them of homophobia they can say that they are not not just opposed to gay marriages.

There was a guy here, by the name of B!ll WhaÝcoÝÝ, who is a complete rightwing fundamentalist bigot. In addition to picketing with graphic images outside Women's Health Centres and Planned Parenthood and the Queer City Film Festival, he had a week last year proclaimed Heterosexual Family Pride Day by the City (in all fairness to the City, BW used the same Human Rights Commission ruling that forced the City to proclaim Gay Pride Week to get his proclamation through). The Daily Show even covered it.
The unofficial word is that BW has since moved on to Alberta, having been kicked out by his wife. It turns out that he wasn't trying to preserve the Heterosexual Family Unit as an abstract ideal, he was trying to save his own marriage. Though I'm not sure how a woman's right to choose, or homosexuals' right to, y'know, reg'lar old HUMAN RIGHTS tore his marriage apart, but I'm sure if you tracked him down he's got it all figured out.

"Just remember, boys and girls, if homosexual marriage is approved, it automatically nullifies all heterosexual marriages."

Their efforts are intended to force, by law, 97% of Americans to bow down to the desires of the approximately 3% who are homosexuals.

More like "Their efforts are intended to prevent, by law, of forcing the approximately 3% who are homosexuals to bow down to the desires of 27% of Americans who are not going to be realistically affected by their marriage in any way whatsoever."

man, all this bowing down going on...

We're here! We're queer! BOW DOWN!

you misspelt "blow"

Not to bring up Louis CK again, but he has a bit about how puzzled he is over people who get so upset that there are gay people in the world. "Unless, of course, there are two guys blowing each other on your lawn when you're trying to mow it."

In honor of "National Marriage Protection Week" I intend to use the powers vested in me by the W0rld Christi4nship Min1stry to marry as many men-to-men and women-to-women and men-to-women-to-men and women-to-women-to-women-to-men and men-to-women-to-women-to-chimpanzee-to-women-to-women as I possibly can.

My straight friend proclaimed "We heteros should go on a marriage strike -- no weddings are performed until queers are allowed to get married, too." I thought that was genius.

gays and lesbians can get married in Canada.
since the Supreme Court allowed this, thousands and thousands of straight marriages have split up worldwide. Also, the trains don't run on time, Hurrican Juan devasted the East Coast and Arnold Schwarzenegger was elected Governor of California. Coincidence or is it all part of the Global Queer Conspiracy?

note that this 'week' was timed for a) the anniversary of matthew shepard's death and b) national coming out day.

and bush totally supports it. classy.

but what can you expect from a president who came from a party whose platform advocates the recriminalization of gay sex, among other scary things?

Had not even considered that. I hope log cabin inhabitants are proud of their fellow party.
