Molesting young boys is still okay though, right?

Dan, this might be my favorite blog title ever. Strike that. It IS the best title ever.

Don't kill the old perv's fantasies, Dan. He's only got so much time left, let him dream.

Funny, I'm pretty sure gay marriage has been legal in places around the world without heterosexuals all turning gay. Pretty sure. I mean, Alberta has gay marriage and its not exactly a haven for homosexuality.

If all the heterosexual girls of the world turned gay, you wouldn't find me complaining.

Saw an interview with an older woman last year when NOM were doing their ridiculous bus tour across America. She said she was against same-sex marriage rights because "The human race will die off."

Hmm. It seems an institution which demands celibacy from its entire management team might threaten families a tad bit itself. Not to mention the future of humanity...

i hate to be that guy, but can we PLEASE stop saying women "shit babies"? i haven't missed the point of the post, i totally agree with it. but gawd, that expression is horrible. enough already.

Now we know what the Pope fantasizes about.

Kind of explains the Church's problems with Priests and young boys ...

There are some commenters on Slog who find that religious belief and a ban on same sex marriage is only thing holding them back from acting on their deep desires to have gay sex. Honestly, it's not stopping any other gay people from doing it.

Batshit!

btw women shitting babies is hilarious

Oh, let's follow that logic.... we've got seven BILLION people, right? Scattered over some countries that will never allow gay marriage, so they can continue to populate the world.

The rest of us will forget how to make babies and die off. Then all who will be left will be the straight people in those other (obviously catholic) countries, right? And since the rest of us will now be gay, we're not going to be lining up to get into his heaven, he'll have more space to ride his little car around and some elbow room while eating dinner with his bff God.

Win-Win for the pope it seems.

The only point he's trying to make (and it's a GIGANTIC and overblown leap of "logic") appears to be that "undermining" straight marriage (devaluing the brand by allowing "those people" in?) could "threaten human dignity" and keep people from having "pride of place". The title is funny, but equally inaccurate. He wasn't trying to even imply that straight people will forget how to be straight, just that something bad will happen to the children (who are, as we remember, our future) if gays raise them.

But it's all couched in religious words so that nothing is disprovable. If they'd tried to say anything specific about children produced and/or raised by gay couples, it would be pretty easy to refute with evidence.

Except that if the point is that kids without traditional two-parent families ruin marriage, and hence the world, let's start with divorcees, widows, and other single parents.

OR maybe you could just stop deliberately obfuscating this and straight-up say you think gay sex is icky, and that your emphasis on the importance of this interpretation of this section of the Bible is reverse-engineered from homophobia. Then we can at least have a conversation about what we're really talking about.

Will the Pope be Ken's replacement at the debate??
15
Shorter Pope Ratzie: "Allowing Gays to marry will undermine the Catholic Church's ability to brainwash people into believing in an invisible sky daddy and giving us money to pay the entry fee to Heaven when they die."
16
The planet is overpopulating, the climate is changing, sea levels are rising, the middle east is a powder keg, and the fact that my husband and I want legal recognition is threatening the future of humanity? Oh, please!

I once heard a comment made in a discussion on the pedophile scandal of the Catholic church that really made sense to me. The person suggested that a lot of men, who have pedophile tendences become priests to try to stop themselves from acting on those tendencies. I always thought something about being a priest made you a pervert but this was suggesting it was actually the fact that you are a pervert that makes you become a priest. Oh that makes way more sense. Maybe a similar thing might be going on with homosexuality. It doesn't seem hard to imagine a gay catholic person choosing to become a priest, instead of expressing his real feelings.

I'm guessing a large majority of the Catholic church are repressed homosexuals, some significant portion of them are pedophiles and perverts. Then they assume that its the same for anyone else not having gay sex or raping children - that we're all dying to do it too and if we're not kept in line with strict laws all hell will break loose.

Straight or gay its totally offensive.

This calls for a chorus of "Fuck You Motherfucker..."

I'm just gonna leave this here.. When Same sex marriage was a Christian rite: http://www.christianity-revealed.com/cr/…

@17 - I think you hit the nail on the head.
21
Well that just makes it even better, I saw a hot breeder boy at the Fat Lady Last Night...

The Catholic Church should not fear gay marriage. The civil remarriages of divorced Catholics are not recognized by the Church and no one has infringed upon the Church's right to maintain that such men and women are adulterous. There is no reason to think that gay marriages wouldn't be the same, recognized by the laws of man but not necessarily by the clergy.

I just read the article and it seems that His Holiness opposes gay marriage because he believes that marriage is the foundation of every society and that a man and woman are necessary for the proper education and development of children. 1. It's not the core of EVERY society; there are societies based on tribes or clans as well. 2. It is actually the nuclear family, which is closely linked to but not the same as marriage, upon which Western society is based.

He'll figure it out eventually. They all will.
23
Clarification: The Pope does NOT seem to think that legalized gay marriage will turn heterosexuals gay. He thinks that it will prevent children from growing up properly. He's wrong, as we've all seen, but if it matters that "Santorum" got his Google problem because of his man-on-dog speech and not because of his anti-abortion and anti-gay-marriage stances, then it should also matter that the Pope is against gay marriage because of his incorrect beliefs about childrearing and not because of incorrect beliefs about what makes people desire same-gender partners.

Yeah, Dan, we love you, but I can see why you sometimes get accused of misogyny when you casually use a phrase like "which hole shits babies". I believe you're not a misogynist, but this is just lazy writing.

please don't be mean to Danny.
he really thinks his rectum is a vagina.....
26
Well I sure hope the Pope is wrong about this - I really don't need the competition.
27
For the record, speaking as a straight man who can speak for all straight men everywhere (I can do this for all white guys also by request):

The growing legality of gay marriage has not instilled in me any desire to suck cock or be a "power bottom" (whatever that is... I gather it involves the act of frothing Santorum)
28
"Pope: Legal Gay Marriage Will Turn All Straight Men Into Cocksucking Power Bottoms" - and that's a problem because...?
29
@28: Because @26 doesn't need the competition.

@18, thank you that song is now stuck in my head again.

Also Dan, you missed interracial marriage. We race mixers were supposed to destroy the world or something...

Please wait...
