Supporters Of Iowa Marriage Amendment Plan To Give Gays Cookies As Evidence Of “Christian Love”
Corn-fed Iowa Boys In Love
Iowa christian groups are planning to distribute small bags of cookies to supporters of Marriage Equality on Monday to “tangibly” show their love of the “dirty homo” as they argue for a constitutional amendment stripping marriage rights from Gays and Lesbians.
An Iowa House panel will begin hearings Monday on a bill that would repeal gay marriage in the state.
The Iowa Marriage Amendment (IMA) seeks to put a question on the 2013 ballot that would define marriage in the Iowa constitution as a heterosexual union – and thereby reverse the 2009 Iowa Supreme Court ruling that brought gay marriage to the Midwest.
The measure is supported by 56 out of 60 Republicans in the House and supporters claim all 60 GOP members will likely vote for the measure, which has little – if any – support among Democrats.
The state’s most vociferous opponent of gay marriage, The Family Leader, which is headed by former GOP gubernatorial candidate Bob Vander Plaats, has announced it will hold a prayer meeting in support of the bill in Room 305 from 12 to 1PM.
“Several of us plan to bring a token of Christian love (like a small bag of cookies or other treats) to share with homosexual activists who we’ll be encountering Monday,” the group wrote in a newsletter to supporters. “It’s time we dispel lies about Christians, by tangibly showing love to people who struggle with homosexuality.”
Gay and Lesbian Americans are not struggling with homosexuality. Gay and Lesbian Americans are struggling to win civil rights and equal protections. Gay and Lesbian Americans are struggling against an atmosphere of persecution and violence created by the christian church.
Bringing the supporters of Marriage Equality cookies while arguing to take basic civil rights away from Gay and Lesbian Americans “tangibly” shows the world what a bunch of condescending assholes christians really are.
Every accredited medical, psychological and scientific institution in the United States agrees that homosexuality and heterosexuality are both normal, natural and unchangeable sexual orientations.
Civil marriage must be judged under our constitutional standards of equal protection and not under religious doctrines or the religious views of individuals.

This is such a SICK maneuver!!!
This is screwed up so much
The fact that they bring it up as people who struggle with homosexuality already tells me they are hateful because they still don’t get it.
