Here’s the Thing About Gay Marriage…
…it’s just not that important. It’s been said many times before, and I’ll be no better at convincing any naysayer, but this whole gay marriage thing is just a stall tactic, that’s it. It’s something that gets people’s minds off the War in Iraq, the War in Afghanistan, the pending War in Iran, the torture camps all over Europe, the stolen elections, the still suffering people of New Orleans, the still suffering people of Sudan, Congo, and Uzbekistan. It’s all a stall tactic so that we don’t question the fucked up things that go on and to make us think that the most important, earth-shattering news that’s currently on the agenda is that gay people are having sex…AND THEY MIGHT SPREAD THEIR CANCEROUS HOMO-DISEASE UNTO US POOR, DEFENSLESS, SEEMINGLY THE MINORITY STRAIGHT PEOPLE. Run for the Bomb Shelters!! THE GAYS ARE COMING!!!
The point is that gay marriage is not the real issue here. It’s just easier to get shit done when your people aren’t paying attention to the wars you’re fighting, or the guy listening in to their phone calls, or the innocent people you’re maiming or torturing, or the democracy you’re castrating, but rather something that has no relevance but is entertaining, and God knows we all need to be entertained constantly.
Vietnam War? Fuck that, John Lennon just said he was bigger than Jesus!
First Iraq War? Fuck that, babies and incubators!
Kosovo? Fuck that, OJ Simpson and Monica puts in some overtime!
Second Iraq War/Afghanistan? Fuck that, Terry Shiavo and gay guys fucking!
As Jon Stewart said at his show at Casino-Rama in Orillia, Ontario: The Sound of distant butt-fucking is apparently preventing the government from getting important shit done.
