Repost - What some people really think of gay marriage

This piece ran on June 4 of this year. It may seem funny but notice the subtle similarities between the Chick Publications (the creator of the awful comic seen below) and the implications raised by Maggie Gallagher and the National Organization for Marriage that marriage equality will be "forced on children."

And notice how neither entity wants to acknowledge the existence of lgbt children and same-sex families that include children.


Maybe it's just me but marriage equality coming to New Hampshire seems to have left some members of the religious right a bit dazed.

One News Now has yet to report on it and my usually reliable anti-gay Peter LaBarbera hasn't said a word yet.

Even Focus on the Family have been strangely silent.

But not everyone is silent.

Someone alerted me to this tract from Chick Publications. Chick Publications is a site that publishes cartoon gospel tracts. You may have seen these various tracts in a doctor's office or at the bus stop.

It is an old tract (it was created in 2004) and while it does not address marriage equality in New Hampshire per se, it's safe to say that the creator doesn't exactly care for gay marriage at all.

The following are some snippets from the tract:









Judge for yourself but I tend to think that minus the little imps, this is exactly the argument the religious right uses against marriage equality.

It's not exactly a logical argument when drawn out, is it?

  1. Jack Chick merely puts their arguments in pictorial form, with some additional hyperbole. And the others imply what Jack Chick puts right out there so he's not so overboard when you get right down to it.
