DISCLAIMER
So, you read my Ban Gray Marriage site, and you still had some questions.
Well, for starters, let's get this out of the way: IT IS A POLITICAL
SATIRE. I am not actually advocating for any of the anti-seniors positions
taken in the piece. They are being used to poke fun at a political viewpoint
I disagree with, and that I am satirizing. Get it? In case you're
living under a rock, this Gray Marriage ban is intended to satirize the Constitutional
ban of same-sex marriages
proposed by President Bush and other right-wing conservative nutcases.
In fact, some of the text I use was borrowed directly from conservative
arguments I've read against gay marriage. The entire concept here was
to take these wacked out ideas to their logical absurd conclusion. The
political movement to ban gay marriage is about denying civil rights to a
segment of our population, and legislating morality. Their claims that
this "defense of marriage" is an earnest attempt to protect anyone is as
much a joke as the Gray Marriage arguments I make here.
CREDITS
There were many sites that informed the look and attitude I adopted for
my Ban Gray Marriage campaign. First and foremost, big ups to
godhatesshrimp.com
, a great parody of anti-gay conservatives that was a major inspiration
for this idea. Also, an affiliated web site provided some of the images
that I've adopted - churchsigngenerator.com
. They are a fun site, where you too can make ridiculous church signs
that are guaranteed to offend (and candy hearts too!). Also instrumental
in the creation of my Gray Marriage site was the
"Twelve Reasons Gay Marriage Will Ruin Society"
, an anonymous list circulated by email that I thought was clever enough
to expand upon. I'd also like to thank "The Life of Brian" by Monty
Python, a movie Mr. George Harrison had a hand in making - that film is probably
the reason I ever dreamed of making my own Temple of Absurdity, and its influence
contributes to all the religious satire that goes on around here.
ARE YOU FED UP?
If you read my "Ban Gray Marriage" proposal, and are moved to take a political
stand, here are some suggestions:
Make a contribution to a fund that is trying to protect the rights of Gays
and Lesbians who want to marry:
Freedom To Marry!
Support the campaign of the candidate who might defeat George W. Bush, and
take the White House back from the religious zealots:
John Kerry!
Or find your own liberal cause:
Move On
And, we now return you to your regularly scheduled
silliness....
