Really? In Louisianna? I'm shocked. SHOCKED I say!
Okay, I'm not at all shocked, but I am disgusted and horrified.
Plus, it's a fitting topic of discussion. H and my anniversary is this coming Monday.
We've already been married for 2 years if you can believe that. We've actually been together for over 10 years, as we became exclusive in June of 1999.
Louisianna JOP denies interracial couple a marriage license "out of concern for any children they might have." Well, what a thoughtful and considerate individual.
Here's a fun quote from the Community "Leader."
"I'm not a racist. I just don't believe in mixing the races that way," Bardwell told the Associated Press on Thursday. "I have piles and piles of black friends. They come to my home, I marry them, they use my bathroom. I treat them just like everyone else."
Goodness! Your bathroom? You actually let those people into the very room where you take a shit? How could I ever have thought you were a racist when you're obviously progressive enough to let "piles and piles" of people with different pigmentation than you urinate in YOUR bathroom? Dr King would be so happy to know that--okay, I'm not going to continue that line of thought, but you know what I'm getting at.
I'm so sick and fucking tired of people behaving as if they have some moral imperative to impose their bullshit on other people. Race? Really? Discrimination on the basis of pigmentation is SO totally 30 years ago. Get over it already. If you have a moral objection to two people getting married, by all means don't perform the ceremony. But denying them the right to a legal contract is just--you know what? Just stop it. You're being an ass and you need to shut up. It's basically the same thing I say to pharmacists who want to be pharmacists only as long as they can deny certain people certain pills for certain personal reasons.
These people, I say, can go fuck themselves.
The rest of you, have a pleasant Friday.
And remember to do something cool for your boss if s/he is not a complete prick.
It's boss's day!
