FUCK YOU BARNEY FRANK, YOU PESTILENT PRIVILEGED FUCK:
Frank said in an interview Friday with the Blade that he's not a co-sponsor of the legislation because he has a "strategic difference" with people supporting the repeal legislation...

"It's not anything that's achievable in the near term," he said. "I think getting [the Employment Non-Discrimination Act], a repeal of 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell,' and full domestic partner benefits for federal employees will take up all of what we can do and maybe more in this Congress."
Oh look, "full domestic partner benefits for federal employees." Like, oh, gosh, who? FUCK YOU HE'S GOT HIS. What a fucking toolbox.

You might also recall Barney Frank throwing the transgendered under the bus with ENDA last Congress. Now he's throwing everyqueerbody not plugged in to the Federal teat under the same bus to provide cover for Mr. Obama's "ha ha fuck you no" on DOMA. Gosh, Unca Frank, is it nice up there in the plantation house?

eta: Why doesn't a mandatory church fundraiser in the form of "second collection" for an anti-gay/anti-marriage campaign in Maine cause a church to lose tax-exempt status as a political organisation? Such silly questions.

Why yes I do recall the ENDA thing!

I don't really have an angry enough icon.

I've mostly found this one sufficient. There have been a few exceptions, though, and this may be one of yours.

"what you have to understand is that this is a good thing, and soon, the democrats will be able to get to the queer political issues. The important thing is that we have someone on our side in office."

And people still have the nerve to wonder why people are burning out and ceasing to care about the system.

Yeah, why exactly do they think having 'someone in your corner' matters if that person never gets off their ass and DOES anything?

The excuses for democratic inaction during the 8 years of bush were bad enough. Now...

are we actually getting ANY of those things? last i heard, everyone was saying that it was someone [anyone] else's job to do the repeal of DOMA, and didn't the stuff "passed" for "full federal benefits for same-sex partners" NOT actually give any real benefit???


*rage*

and THEN i have people (people whom i dislike, and wish would go the fuck away and leave me alone) ask my why i get "so" worked up over gay rights when i'm straight. totally missed all the BULLSHIT, and the POINT, and the fact that gay people are PEOPLE and are JUST AS IMPORTANT as "straight" people, and that the way things are right now is a TOTAL travesty, and...


erm - sorry, this is *your* LJ and your rant. sorry.

Fuck it, I'm drunk. I entirely fail to understand these assholes. As Right Said Fred said: "There's People, there's Love". Why the fuck do they care what genders/sexes are involved in this? People who are in love with each other should be together, why the FUCK are these assholes throwing all these obstacles in the way of that?

As has been mentioned, sorry, this is your LJ, but what little filter I normally have has been more or less removed by the booze, so RAEG! happened.

Clearly you're not familiar with the 11th Commandment; "Thou shalt not fuck with the Catholic Church."

I do wish somebody would truly stand up to those pious assholes in Rome who want to bring all of us back to the 17th century. I was raised in the Catholic Church and the current pope is a repellent fuck.

And as for Barney Frank; we might as well have Barney Rubble representing us. As you so aptly stated, Frank is another fag who's got his, so fuck everyone else.

I'm sick to death of all these people.

I'd blame the Evangelicals, not the Catholics. There are roughly the same number of each, but the Evangelicals are more consistently conservative on social and sexual issues.

I won't argue with you about evangelicals. Anyone who's "drunk the Kool-Aid" (as my partner says,) is pretty committed.

But I've been reading some pretty disturbing things coming from the Catholic Church lately, particularly from Pope Rat-Fuck.

What sort of majority do the democrats think is necessary to actually accomplish anything that won't pass muster w/Republicans?

80 votes in the senate and. 80% of the representation in the house?

Republican approval ratings at 0%?

Seriously.

Or would they still think they couldn't do anything w/out alienating the town of Moronia, population 12, somewhere in the mountains of Idaho, where a possible conseravative backlash among the 12 republicans living there might trigger a nationwide crisis that could lead them to a tragic drop in national polls, and possibly cause rich conservatives who hate them anyway to cut back on the campaign contributions?
