So I...I live in a state with an RFA law in effect. So I have one that will really test their convictions that this really is about all religions. Well, I am a Wiccan and I am also registered with First nation's ministry to officiate at weddings. Balance is very important in Wicca, and I can say that since these laws make it harder for LGBT people to organize their weddings, I am obligated to offset that inequity by marrying them for $35. Straight weddings will be $100 unless one is a member of the LGBT community. And since the law does not require the belief to be an actual tenant of the faith, the only defense they would have is to say they only meant christian beliefs. The only other argument they would have is for republicans to try and say that gay and straight weddings are equal and hell, hearing that would be worth losing.

Once in a great while you see it in a fringe newspaper or magazine article, but usually they just parrot the Christofascist legislators' arguments. It's the same with same-sex marriage. I NEVER saw one reporter ask any of the right-wing zealots how a same-sex marriage would affect a heterosexual marriage. They just recorded the bigots saying, "It will destroy marriage!" The large media conglomerates are not the LGBT community's friends by and large and they don't make much effort to cover the news without spinning it to the right.Bradnoreply@blogger.com
