This woman who's a Senior Editor at The Federalist (https://twitter.com/MZHemingway) has an ENTIRE TIMELINE of salt.





























A horrible appearance she did on CNN, which literally reflects nothing about the truth of The Federalist and their coverage of marriage equality: http://www.cnn.com/videos/tv/2015/06/28/exp-rs-0628-bias-in-gay-marriage-coverage.cnn

Here are some hilarious responses from The Federalist on how constimadipated they are about marriage equality:

Ooooh.



Ahhhh!



Right!



Weee!



Definitely.



They must have found our notes!



Yeah!

To be fair, there are a few pro-marriage equality opinions peppered through here, but it's not the free flowing diversity of opinions that Ms. Hemmingway seems to believe. That's fine. I actually have no problem with that. Just be honest.

Lol "step outside the bubble"? The one where 65% of the country supports gay marriage? Ok lady
 
From the Catholic forum I posted a page or two ago:

Marriage is a hard slog much of the time, and divorce is even harder.
Our 50% failure rate is bound to be even higher in their category, especially for the men.

I'm not sure how much happy they're going to get from this after the celebration dies down.

I'm not surprised at the decision, but very very sad. They should have been working towards A new word, or a new institution for gay "marriage"if they wanted to be "married".
Now they are just like the rest of us sods. If they are so proud of themselves, why do they want to be just like everybody else? I've never understood that.

I do hope the Church will divorce itself from secular weddings now. And I hope couples start wearing a sign of their sacramental marriage. I wear a thin white gold band along with my much thicker yellow gold wedding band and my engagement ring. With all this going on, when my husband and I were convalidated, I wanted a sign of the real nature of our union.

After all, a sacrament is an outward sign of an inward grace.

Even non-Americans are getting in on it, tons of articles about it in my country, cue people in the comments section saying America is the epicenter of sin!

So, so much salt.
 
Another gem:

"It may not damage an existing marriage. But it damages marriage as an institution. Young heterosexual couples will look at marriage and see it as a farce, not as a respected institution. So they'll decide to "shack up" and have illegitimate children without benefit of marriage."

I never truly realized how threatening gay marriage was to Catholics/Christians, but I can see now that they legitimately believe that they are the ones harmed in all this

Young people already do this quite often...

Don't tell them that the concept of marriage existed way before Christianity ''took'' over it. Let's also not forget that marriage exist in pretty much every other culture.

And If ''Christians'' couples decide that their religious marriages is somewhat corrupted because people not like them can do it, seriously, that's just hate at this point.

I look at all the divorces and step-families in my extended family and wonder what I did to cause all of that before I even hit puberty/was born!
 
There are people using this as a roundabout way to attack Muslims, too, which is such a shame. I guess whatever they can use to attack people who don't follow their religion, they'll use it.

Indeed. I think divorce and reality TV also makes a sham of their view of marriage, but within their communities some take it quite seriously.

As an anecdote, we have several friends (in their 30s), very catholic, married a while now, and being miserable but don't want to get a divorce because of the appearance in their family/community. A couple has actually moved apart, live alone, see other people, but are staying legally married. It's ridiculous peer pressure with no functional reason.
 
As funny as all the impotent salt is, the very real legal blockages being pushed by Republicans in Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, etc. is truly sad.

This is the funniest coming out video

Dat 1:18 when he's all "I have friends who are gay. I mean, I love all of them." What he doesn't say is "but I damn sure think they should NOT be able to get the same rights that *I* have with my wife."

No seriously, this is offensively stupid. "You cannot have a society of hatred or society of bigotry." Well buddy, you're trying to get there. "I happen to know what Marriage is" - No you don't. You have no clue.

This video can be summed up as, "I have something. You don't. Because I think this something is A, it can't be B." Where the fuck is the "I don't like thing" comic when I need it.

There's a lot of salt in this thread and most of it I laugh at. This though - this is a mockery and it pisses me off way more than it should.
 
Of all the people complaining about their religious freedom being attacked, how many have said Obama was a Muslim or worried about sharia law? Would that venn diagram be a circle?

edit: omg that video. "The best way to break down these barriers is to get to know someone one-on-one." "I happen to know what marriage is and I don't see how it could change."

Delicious salt.
