June 4th – Marriage Protection Day

From Is Anybody There

The Religious Right has designated Sunday, June 4th, as “Marriage Protection Sunday” and is mobilizing fundamentalist and evangelical congregations all across America, including those in the Southern Baptist Convention, the nation’s largest Protestant denomination, to try and pressure Congress to put forward an amendment to the US Constitution to ban gay marriage

Here is an idea, stay home on June 4th. Skip church or whatever obligation to somebody else you may have, and do something with your family that will strengthen and protect your own marriage. Denigrating others does not accomplish that.

Also, according to these statistics, going to church is not particularly good for your marriage anyway.

    I’m still curious what exactly we’re supposed to expect once gay people start marrying. What exactly is it that’s going to happen? As further proof of my naivete, I was pretty sure we’d fucked marriage up when I saw the law office with the neon sign that read “$75 Agreed Divorce” and I thought to myself that these people’s vow before god now amounts to basically a $75 fine. That can’t be good for marriage as a concept.

    Personally, I figure instead of going to church somewhere that supports this ridiculous law, why not go to church someplace that does?

    Amen.
