If I’m not mistaken, standing with Ukraine has the distinction of inspiring the “I stand with the current thing” meme. And that’s more fitting than ever. It’s pride month, and why the hell would that matter? If you stand with Ukraine, you’re an anti-gay bigot.

It’s a Curious Question – Do You Know the Answer? I think I do!
It has long been our policy to come to the aid of women. Even those taken in by a party (the Democrats) that goes out of its way to kill them before they can take a breath or just after (abortion), puts them at risk (anti-gun and bathroom bills), and denies them victory (men playing women’s sports).
Liz Warren’s Latest Reparations Pandering – The Feds Owe Gay Married Couples
Liz Warren is promising reparations for every ‘persecuted’ group except college Republicans. What’s her latest sop to a special interest? Gay married couples. Yes, per Comrade Warren, the Federal Government owes them money.
PBS Kids Cartoon Begins Season with a Same-Sex Marriage
Yes, the longest running closet homosexual in children’s television cartoon history (so far) has come out. Arthur’s Mr. Ratburn is gay. And he just got married.
So, Alicia Preston, does this mean that the NH GOP should be FOR Abortion? By your argument, it should be, right?
Hillary: “Laws have to be backed up with resources and political will. And deep-seated cultural codes, religious beliefs and structural biases have to be changed.”
(H/T: Progressives and The Proper Role of Government – and your subservience to it). That WOULD be your argument if you were intellectually and philosophically honest, Ms. Preston.
Well, if JHo said she wanted a “conversation”, well, no, she didn’t – she either wants the NH GOP to cave on the issue or cement the ties in making the UniParty stronger. Or once again doing her political opportunism schtick. Or all three. Regardless of the number, it all adds up to the same thing – you SHALL subsume your own personal beliefs in serving the Party.
So Horns are going all in on “we’re victims!”; Bill Horn resigns from NH GOP
Not a big surprise. Lots of people are going Independent but not for the reasons they are. Here’s the Letter sent to Andrew Cernota that John Distaso tweeted out:

On another meeting I DIDN’T go to – Kevin Landrigan goes with the “rotten peeps, those GOPers are” with his headline
Quick Thought:
NH GOP members exclude delegate from convention, take no action on her pro-gay-rights proposals
By KEVIN LANDRIGAN
Yes, I slap them around when it is needful – but I’ll go the other way when needed as well. The NH GOP did no such thing as exclude a delegate from the NH GOP Convention yesterday. So he is one of two three four things:
- He’s an outright liar
- He’s fishing for clickbait
- He’s wishing to cast aspersions of guilt amongst the Union Leader readership
- He’s lazy.
Or all four. He’s been around NH politics a long, LONG time – he knows better than to do this unless he was intent on making trouble where none exists. Yet, he decided to take a fact and make it an unfact: what’s a delegate by the rules?
Gay Marriage And The Supreme Court: What Will Follow?
Using the word “gay” as a euphemism for homosexual is fine I guess. But I’ve always thought a word like “fabulous” might have been better. Sure would be a lot easier to tell your parents, “Mom, Dad: I’m fabulous! And my friends are fabulous, too! — Michael Greer
As I pointed out in my September 2012 post, “The Gay Marriage Report Card,” Gay marriage is current law in eight states. Five States have as law, “civil unions.” Thirty-one states maintain constitutional amendments banning gay marriage or recognizing marriage as between a man and a woman.
The Gay Marriage advocacy constituency is still very small when juxtaposed against the larger society. That should not denigrate friends and loved ones who include themselves under the tent of the Gay community. But facts are inconvenient things as hard and cold as they might seem. Why is that important?
Stupidity, Civility, And The Continued Assault on Free Staters
This was originally part of my previous post on pull quotes I found amusing but turned into something else that would have distracted from the previous post being purposefully short and the other quotes getting a shot a some discussion.
…
In the Union Leader article, “Free State Movement Not Embraced by All Granite Stater’s” once you get past the “No Sh**” moment presented by the title of the article, or the fact that this is written like some kind of hit-piece on Republican Mark Warden, and the Second amendment, and Liberty, we can focus on a quote from Democrat Aaron Gill, who having lost to “Free Stater” Mark Warden in an election where state Democrats were winning seats as if Obama could just give them away…
“I’m gay, and I didn’t want the government telling me I couldn’t get married,” Gill said. “But after a while I learned that the world doesn’t function that way. I guess I was really a Democrat all along but just didn’t realize it.”
There are Free Stater’s who are Democrats, or didn’t you know that?
New Hampshire Republicans for Freedom & Equality – without outside gay money, you’d have nothing!
Grokster Steve has the deserved outrage from Cornerstone here – they are claiming that $100K contribution to New Hampshire Republicans for Freedom & Equality from Peter Singer is an illegal contribution to this PAC. My take is: So, taking Big Bucks from the Big Time moderate is YOUR end to his means? Or is this merely gay politics per usual under the guise of “a Republican flag”?
After all, way back in 2009, I pointed out that it was outside gay money that got civil unions and then gay marriage into NH. It was NEVER an ground swell for this generated organically in the State – it was planned years in advance with gay millionaire and billionaire shoveling cash to fundamentally transform (er, where have we heard THAT before??) NH. Steve has also been all over this topic as well – the end justifies the means as long as the outside money cash was inbound (as shown by prior posts here, here, here, here, HERE, here, here, here, and here). Without that, gay marriage in NH was NOTHING but a fraud. No outside money = never would have had a vote.
Still is. From their website:
The Gay Marriage Report Card
“I think that gay marriage should be between a man and a woman.” —Arnold Schwarzenegger
Roughly Sixty days out from national elections means people are beginning to take notice of what the politicians are saying about a whole host of issues fiscal and social. Chief among issues is the hot button of gay marriage. Presently, if one is conservative and even mentions it, labels of bigotry and homophobia fly left and right. So why the gay marriage report card? Simply because it is a political issue and like any other political issue, where rivers of cash and political capital flow, the net result of activism should have some standard of measure.
Thirteen states have legislatively accommodated same sex couples, thus, the notion (or suggestion) might follow for some that the Lesbian, Gay, Bi-sexual, Transsexual (LGBT) community is a sizable constituency and the concepts, attitudes and conventions of Gay Marriage are catching on. But are they really gaining steam? Are more people really accepting Gay marriage on par with traditional marriage? Or are they being bullied into it?
Hpocrisy of the Left – yet another example
Nothing more needs to be said. (H/T: Troglopundit)
Tolerance
Two Massachusetts Gay Groups will not be participating in the Nashua Pride Fest this Saturday because the Nashua Chick-fil-A is providing 200 chicken sandwiches to the event.
The groups claim that by accepting the donated food event organizers are promoting the Chik-fil-A brand, even though the owner of the local restaurant supports Gay Pride events and homosexual causes.
Question: Isn’t that judging the guy by the wrapper and not based on who he really is as a person and what he can contribute?
whisper/ “hypocrisy.”
Selective Intolerance
“National day of intolerance,” glibly chided Shepard Smith of Fox News a few days ago in reference to the latest in the culture wars: the national Chick-fil-A Appreciation Day–geez, they’re so biased at Fox. For those of you that pay more attention to the throwing of badminton matches, swim meets, or flies collecting on your dog’s latest masterpiece than to the culture wars, I’ll provide a little background. The Chick-fil-A issue revolves around remarks about gay marriage made by the president of that company, followed by a response by some mayors around the country, then followed with people in support of the restaurant with Chick-fil-A Appreciation Day. (This is still unfolding at the time of this writing, but I heard a “kiss-in” is to occur at some point. Stay tuned.)
To summarize the Chick-fil-A president’s opinion on gay marriage: he’s not for it, and for saying so, two notable mayors sounded off and said Chick-fil-A can’t set up shop in their cities. Way to show tolerance, guys!
‘Properties’ of Marriage
Marriage is always a great topic to visit in New Hampshire. It irritates so many people on so many sides. But if we ever put it to a vote of citizens, New Hampshire would join the ranks of every other state to define “marriage” as a union between one man and one woman. Which is why the left would never want to allow that. And bigotry or inequality has nothing to do with it. And it certainly has nothing to do with love.
Love, as it turns out, is not a state’s interest. There is no ministry of love. No state department of love. No state director of love. And no one in their right mind would want the State organizing, defining, taxing or regulating it. Love is not a state’s interest.
And the idea that you “can’t help who you fall in love with” is total rubbish. Of course, you can. I haven’t fallen in love with anyone since I got married 18 years ago unless I count falling more in love with my wife. People fall in and out of love all the time. They can help it. So what the gay marriage lobby means to suggest by this is that sex is love and that you can’t help who whom you want to have sex. But neither of those things is true either.
He “Evolved”…
(H/T: Mac)
See what happens when you let ‘the folk’ actually decide the big social issues?
Courts in multiple states have oft been the agency by which gay marriage has forced upon the residents of those states – the rest have been by Legislatures that oft have been bombarded by “gay money” advocacy groups as we saw here in NH.
Let the people vote? All the people – where the votes cannot be bought? They continue to reject it. Tonite, North Carolina residents just passed an Amendment to their Constitution that legally declares that Marriage is the union of one man and one woman. That would be 31 States that have enacted such an amendment. That would be a majority of the States, if my math is still correct.
“Oh, that’s because it’s full of bigots in that Bible Belt state – those Conservative backward looking, knuckle dragging, rednecks that don’t get with the inevitable” will be the excuse.
Guest post by Peter Bearse, Ph.d: “On Gay Marriage”
“ON GAY “MARRIAGE”
The issue of gay marriage is not a civil rights issue. The civil rights movement arose because of racial discrimination that blatantly foreclosed or limited black opportunities to obtain the basics of human sustenance, including education, housing, financing, employment, and fair pay for equal work. There is no comparison between the gay minority and the black minority communities in these and other aspects of “civil rights.” As the work of Richard Florida on the “creative economy” has made clear, the gay community is advantaged, not disadvantaged. That is one reason why gays are seen as an asset to cities. They help, for example, to gentrify black and other lower income neighborhoods. They typically have higher incomes and greater wealth than most Americans.
So, if gay marriage is not a “civil rights” issue, what sort of issue is it? It is a matter of public vs. private. The gay marriage movement is a noisy minority insisting that public law should assign public value to private behavior. Unlike the (at first) “noisy minority” pressing for civil rights, it is not a movement to change public law to honor our most cherished public values, constitutional or otherwise. Gay sex has nothing to do with the public purposes of either sex or marriage. Heterosexual sex is the greatest gift of evolution. It arose over millennia for a fundamental reason: so that species could survive and further evolve through the generation of difference and variety. So, gay marriage is contrary to evolution and the progress of human life. The issue is just that fundamental.
So, fellow citizens who are homosexual: We recognize your right to live your private lives in ways that you choose. Most of us don’t give a damn about what you do in your bedrooms. We support your efforts to remove any vestiges of sexual discrimination in employment, insurance, contracts and other aspects of civil law. BUT we will not agree to relabel the public institution of marriage to suit your private preferences – that gay marriage be recognized as having public value equivalent to that of heterosexual marriage. At issue, fundamentally, is the nature of the human family – how children are procreated and raised to be fully human – of how the human species advances in a world of differences. Homosexual couples cannot conceive a child. It takes a man and a woman to make a baby and, even more important, to properly raise a child to assume a fully mature role in human society. Values inconsistent with the creation, maintenance and advance of human life are not maintainable as public values.
So, gay activists, where do you think this will end up? You’ve started the snowball rolling down the hill…
(H/T: Karen) Suitable since the repeal of the gay marriage law failed here in NH. I take an old fashioned view of marriage – the traditional one-man-one-woman definition of such. Two people, two genders. Now, there will be the h8 mail inbound, I’m sure – there was the last time I brought up the “slippery … Read more
