Interview of Del Martin and Phyllis Lyon

Just in case you don't recognize the names, they are the couple in my avatar, the first couple married in SF, together for 51 years.

One of the interesting parts of the interview.

Why do you think conservatives care so much that gays and lesbians want to get married?
Martin: Religion certainly guides a lot of that—their interpretation of God. They also see the United States as a Christian nation, and as a Christian nation we should not have perverts or queers.

Lyon: The people who are running these organizations that are so down on gays and lesbians, they make a lot of money off of us. I’m not so sure they believe that the fact that we’re getting married is going to doom civilization. But that’s a good line to scare people with and get more money.

1. The rethuglicans LOVE Gays...

...in the same way they love ethnic minorities. They ALWAYS want them around to scare their base and to run against while doing NOTHING!
