Homophobes Trolling Churches...Where Else!

Foes of Gay Marrage Trolling Churches

"When everything's OK, you don't have a tendency to act," Keeley said. "But it gets to the point where you get concerned, and you have to act."

Ahhhhh!! The gays are coming! The gays are coming! Soon they'll be engaging in all manner of monstrosity! Expressing their love! Committing to one another! Raising children in loving homes! And (gasp) getting health benefits! We MUST put a stop to this!!

Organizers in Oregon...are turning to churches for support of their efforts to define marriage as between a man and a woman, a move political analysts call savvy.

This is savvy? It's like Repugs looking to mega-corporations for campaign contributions. It's just...well, damn obvious! Nothing savvy about it.

Chris Stewart, whose group, the Arkansas Marriage Amendment Committee, is leading efforts to ban gay marriage there, describes the petition drive as a "pre-emptive strike."

Ugh. I wish that phrase had never made its way into the lexicon.

Political analysts say visiting churches -- particularly those with more conservative Christian congregations -- gives signature collectors access to a receptive audience.

Duh! It's like going to a gun club to draft new NRA members!

"It's a very, very politically astute move," said Laura Olson, a political science professor at Clemson University

It's a no brainer! Why is everyone going so ga-ga over this?

"Marriage is at the very core of who we are as people of faith," said Phil Burress, whose Cincinnati-based group, Citizens for Community Values, is leading the petition drive in Ohio.

Uhh...shouldn't faith be at the very core of who they are as people of faith? Or maybe god, or theology, or something. Marriage is only a part of religion. It's just one sacrament. And it's not even exclusive to people of faith, for crying out loud!!!

"People are sincere about their beliefs," he said. "They want to make a change."

Huh?? What's changing? Certainly not marriage, if they have their way.
