Wanting to Get Married Makes you Anti-Marriage!

Oh wait, only if you're gay.

Mathew D. Staver, president and general counsel of Liberty Counsel, which represents Campaign for California Families, a group in Sacramento that has opposed San Francisco's bid to legalize same-sex marriages, denounced the ruling as "ludicrous."

"Marriage should not be undermined by the stroke of a pen from a single judge," Mr. Staver said in a statement. "This ruling, which flies in the face of common sense and millennia of human history, will pour gasoline on the fire ignited by the pro-marriage movement."

I know we can't expect clarity from every, uh, activist willing to provide a quote to the media, but this one kind of boggles. Who is getting inflamed? The "anti-marriage" gay people who want to, uh, get married? Or the anti-marriage (in the case of this court ruling) straight (presumably) people who are, uh, pro-marriage (though not necessarily desiring to get married themselves). ?!?!

Don't you know that gay marriage is going to destroy civilization?

How, I'm not exactly sure, but that's what these people keep saying.

Wow, us gays must be really powerful. We can destroy civilization and other people's marriages just by committing to each other.

That's right! More harmful than adultery, spousal abuse and alcoholism combined, you know.
