Gawker on the same-sex ruling:
I can’t help but be happiest, though,
about the defeat of the anti-marriage equality crusaders. The defeat of
people who signed up to lose, who wasted their time and ours on a
platform of animus and contempt. The defeat of people who put principle
over the practical, who fought to preserve their limited understanding
of an already imperfect institution over the actual human lives that
would benefit from it. The defeat of people who did what bigots do:
discriminate, vilify, fear-monger, argue irrationally and without
respect to human dignity, and then bristle when they’re called out for
what they are (bigots).
The jig is up. The world has turned and
left you fuming, seething, weeping. F**k you, Mike Huckabee. F**k you,
Bryan Fischer. F**k you, Maggie Gallagher. F**k you, Ben Carson. F**k
you, Fox News. You should all feel like assholes because you are all
assholes. And now you’re also, definitively, losers. And it feels
incredible.
