Couple fight gender-neutral language in wedding license

"To the state of California, however, she is either "Party A" or "Party B." Those are the terms that have replaced "bride" and "groom" on the state's new gender-neutral marriage licenses. And to Bird and Codding, that is unacceptable."

I… can't stop laughing at this.

""We just feel that our rights have been violated," she said."

*dies laughing*

I am cracking up at this new-to-me blog Stuff White People Like.  It's more like upper-middle-class liberal white people, from what I can tell, but it's funny as shit.

Pam at Pandagon posted about Kevin McCullough, who ranted about gays and marriage and dragons…

…dragons?

The post is good.  The comments are spectacular.  Observe ye a sample, by karpad:

[Lesbians are] missing out on dragon slaying, is what.
But I think they have some kind of proto-magical super virginity or something, so they get to ride around on unicorns.

If we legalize gay marriage, lesbians will be required to defend their spouses against dragons AND still get unicorns. They can ride into battle on their unicorns, with flowing, brightly colored clothing with their magic swords with their awesome, awesome battlecry of MAGIC FUCK YEAH! WOOOOOOO!

And since all lesbians would have wives, both partners get both a unicorn AND a dragon. That just isn't fair. and the overhunting might extinguish the dragon population.

Eventually, there will only be one dragon left, it'll be soul-bound to some snotty evil prince, and then Dennis Quaid would have to kill Sean Connery.

Is that what you bitches want? Dennis Quaid killing Sexy Old Sean? and a species of beautiful, inspiring animals going extinct? That's why I'm against gay marriage.

2007-07-31 08:41 | I am so in hearts with Jill.

Jill at Feministe asks: "How much time in jail should a woman face for abortion?"

So far, at 51 comments, one pro-lifer has tried to respond (at comment 18): "For example, couldn't a state pass a law prohibiting physicians (or anyone else) from providing a woman with abortion and then provide punish (loss of license, fine, or jail time) to the individual providing the abortion and not make the woman a criminal at all."

The immediate analogy that a bunch of people draw: Great, so I can go hire a hitman to kill someone, and I don't have to worry about being thrown in jail.  Y/N?

Ahahaha, beautiful.

2006-10-26 20:00 | I would love to respond seriously.

Jill of Feministe posts about Sheik Hilaly and his analogy of men:women::cats:meat.  Part of me wants to contemplate this seriously, and use it as an example that feminism is still very necessary…

…but I'm too busy laughing my damn head off.  It's probably shock, but goddamn.  "If you take uncovered meat and put it on the street [...] without a cover and the cats eat it, then whose fault will it be, the cats, or the uncovered meat's?"  I am always taken aback when confronted with prime examples of "People not only believe this stuff on purpose, they share with others??".

(I'm not not envisioning sides of beef wearing tutus…)
