A group of antediluvian representatives and senators in North Carolina are so consumed with absolutely, completely, once and for all making it forever impossible for gay marriage to be legal in North Carolina, it is a ridiculous commentary on our democratic system under which all men are created equal.
Senator Jim Forrester has called my liberal, democratic and welcoming City, Asheville, NC, a Cesspool of Sin where homosexuals "get up to mischief." I am NOT making this up. This is 2011. It is too late to hope these knuckle dragging morons will ever wake up, but what they fail to realize is that what they are attempting is simply not possible. They can no more wave their self-righteous wands and turn gay into straight than they can turn themselves into forward thinking liberals. What is so frightening? Who cares who marries whom? In short, what is the point?? Why all the waste of resources and time and energy on something that should be a non-issue. Get Over It. Move On.
The Cesspool is in Senator Forrester's mind and nowhere else. What mischief is he taking about? Is your gay neighbor going to break in and put up new drapes while you are out of town? If these dimwits would spend as much time trying to figure out a way to educate children and prevent teenage pregnancy as they do trying to limit the rights of their fellow citizens, then they would actually be doing the work they were elected to do.
My hope for Senator Forrester is that his wife leaves him for another woman and that his son shows up for Christmas dinner in drag. What a jerk.
