Mister D:
Will we be extremists for hate or will we be extremists for love? Will we be extremists for the preservation of injustice – or will we be extremists for the cause of justice?

Connecticut Picks Up California’s Gay Slack
POSTED BY: Dylan Ris
Last week, 52% of California’s voters let it be known that when God created marriage, he created man and woman to be the exclusive partners in that pact. Too bad for those holy rollers that God also created Connecticut…
A 4-year legal battle for same-sex marriage in Connecticut came to an end this morning in a New Haven courtroom when Superior Court Judge Jonathan E. Silbert signed an order paving the way to couples to get their licenses…
“We…think about the heartbreaking vote in California, knowing that a justice movement is not won or lost by one case or one vote,” said Bennett Klein, an attorney with the Boston-based Gay and Lesbian Advocates and Defenders, which litigated the case. “Today Connecticut sends a message of hope and promise to lesbian and gay people throughout the country who want to be treated as equal citizens by their government.”
The crossing trajectories of the two states is puzzling, since California’s Proposition 8 vote was clearly the greatest proof of God’s existence since he sent His Son to revisit Earth as a Cheeto.
But now we turn around and find that Connecticut has been seized by Lucifer and Bette Midler. Which begs the question: What on earth has gotten into God? Gay marriage is already legal in neighboring Massachusetts. And Vermont and New Hampshire have civil unions. Is the plan to just surround Mitt Romney from all sides until he cries “uncle” and marries Tom Brady?
Actually, ol’ Mitt won’t get to spend much time staring down gay marriage in New England. His appointment calendar already has him spending most of the next four years in Iowa.
