Bill Maher riffs on gay issue's

<Previous - Hello? - I'm back...sort of - Next>
Bill Maher says...
You can't claim you're the party of smaller government and then make laws about love. On this Valentine's Day, let's stop and ask ourselves, "What business is it of the state how consenting adults choose to pair off, share expenses, and eventually stop having sex with each other?

And why does the Bush administration want a constitutional amendment about weddings? Hey, why stop at weddings?

Birthdays are important; let's put them in the great document. Let's make a law that gay people can have birthdays, but straight people get more cake. You know, to send the right message to kids.

Republicans are always saying we should privatize things like schools, prisons, social security -- hey, how about we privatize privacy!


Because if the government forbids gay men from tying the knot, what is their alternative? They can't all marry Liza Minnelli.


You know, the Republicans used to be the party that opposed social engineering, but now they push programs to outlaw marriage for some people and encourage it for others. If you're straight, there's $1.5 billion in the budget to promote marriage, but gay marriage is opposed because it threatens or mocks or does something to the sanctity of marriage, as if anything you can do in Vegas drunk off your ass in front of an Elvis impersonator could be considered sacred.

In George Bush's mind, marriage is only a beautiful lifetime bond of love and sharing, kind of like what his dad has with the Saudis.

But at least the right wing aren't hypocrites on this issue. They really believe that homosexuality is an abomination and a dysfunction that's curable. They believe that if a gay man just devotes his life to Jesus, he'll stop being gay, because that worked out so well with the Catholic priests.

But I have to tell you that the greater shame in this story goes to the Democrats because they don't believe homosexuality is an abomination, and, therefore, their refusal to endorse gay marriage is hypocrisy. Their position doesn't come from the Bible; it's ripped right from the latest poll which says that most Americans are against gay marriage. Well, you know what? Sometimes most Americans are just wrong, and where is the Democrat who will stand up and go beyond the half-measures of civil union and hate-the-sin-love-the-sinner and say loud and clear, "There is no sin. It's not an abomination and no one can control how cupid aims his arrows, and the ones who pretend they can usually turn out to be the biggest freaks.

The law in this country should reflect that some people are just born one-hundred-percent outrageously, fabulously, undeniably Fire-Island gay.


And they do not need re-programming -- they need a man with a slow hand.






DO YOU HAVE ANY FUNNY GAY JOKES? PILE 'EM ON!

Ashcroft Humor
Not many people seem to be joking about John Ashcroft's galbladder ailment that has landed him in the hospital, presumably because laughing at others' medical problems is bad taste. But Bill Maher doesn't follow these rules, and tonight on his show he let one rip. "Doctors can't figure out how Ashcroft got infected since he's not a drinker," Maher said, more or less (I'm paraphrasing). "They think he may have caused the infection when he wiped his ass with the Bill of Rights."

If I were being similarly tasteless, I would suggest they...>

I love this quote ... and soooooo true!

3. Here's one of my favs for responding to the "gay agenda" folks
I just give them this link:

http://cronus.com/agenda/

Or if that are the rare types who understand the concept of "satire" (Hint: It's NOT one of the half-man, half-horse things from Greek mythology!) then I give them the link to the Betty Bowers "Baptists are Saving Homosexuals" (B.A.S.H.) page:
