That’s how PinkDome and In The Pink sum up the debut of the new Marriage Alliance web site, dedicated to saving the marriages of millions of innocent Texans from the Godless gay and lesbian hordes hellbent on perverting that sacred institution beyond all recognition.

Fresh from his consecration of Texas’ latest auto da fé against pregnant and abused teenagers, and understandably eager to get our statewide pogrom against gay and lesbian Texans indecorous enough to emerge from their closets kickstarted on schedule, Gov. Rick “Goodhair” Perry lends his chiseled good looks and eponymous coiffure to a video welcome on the main page.

Marriage is at the heart of our social fabric. It brings us love, structure, stability and family. Marriage throughout the ages has been between a man and a woman and in that tradition we must support it. Join our Marriage Alliance and let your voice be heard.

What an uncharacteristically Democratic idea …

Thank the Lord that Pope Ricky isn’t having to lead God’s Army into battle alone. His trumpet call to action is joined by the Texas Legislature’s Patron Saints of Bigotry: Reps. Warren Chisum, Linda Harper-Brown and Phil King, looking almost as goofy as they do in real life … or close as they get to it.

In addition to yet-to-be-completed pages allowing you the privilege of contributing your money to this Godly Crusade, or even volunteering your time as a Team Leader (I wonder if they’ll supply the choir robes, or whether you’ll have to bring your own sheets?), there’s even a Marriage Blog!

You’ll read one or two comments from upright citizens like “burty”:

Important to our Country

This issue is representative of the challenge that is facing our entire country. Majority “Rights” are being trampled by fringe groups. We need to set standards that we want our children to live by.

But even though it’s encouraging to know that those who lack all Biblical understanding can still type, what the overwhelming majority of my fellow Texans have to say is a living testament to the demonstrable and overwhelmingly urgent need for Internet regulation.  

The Importance of Relationships

I find it highly ironic that the majority of the blog responses I read are in support of providing gays and lesbians with the right to enter into legally recognized unions. Wonder how long it will be before the webmaster realizes that we have opinions, too.

The truth of the matter is that I and other gays and lesbians are not asking for any sort of special right. I just want to have the opportunity to have my relationship recognized by the government and have access to the same legal rights as my straight friends. I don’t know how that threatens their marriages any more than their marriages might threaten my own relationship.

My future marriage is going to fail

I’m getting married in a couple weeks to beautiful lady whom I love very much. But unfortunately I don’t know if my marriage will last if homosexual friends of mine can also marry. Once this ammendment is passed I think the state should also legislate who we can love.

On to the next goal…

I am so happy this legislation protecting marriage passed. But we are not done!! We have to go after divorce next. Just like the Bible says that gay people should never, ever get married, it says that no one should get married a second time. We have to work to end all second “marriages.” I’m up for the fight, are you?

maybe Rick Perry should find somewhere else to live

I’m actually not shocked but still appalled that Gov. Perry would suggest that veterans who fought for this country should move out of the great state of Texas because they want to be free to be in a relationship of their choice with a loved one.

For marriage

This August my wife & I will celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary. Add that to our 9-year courtship & it’s plain to see that my high school sweetheart & I are a one-man woman and one-woman man, committed and usually quite happy. We think marriage is a great institution for couples & families.

We are pro-marriage and we’re saddened by this effort against marriage. From the beginning, it’s clearly been driven by political showmanship. As most know, marriage between persons of the same sex was already outlawed in Texas. And that guff about activist judges, what a hoot. This is Texas, folks. We elect our judges here & a substantial number of those on the various appeals courts & state supreme court were appointed by governors Bush & Perry.

It’s sure sad that these folks feel compelled to rhetorically flog homosexuals and play politics with the scared (sic) blessing of marriage. I hope y’all will find peace some day.

We hope and pray that it does happen someday, but they haven’t earned any peace just yet. Maybe we can help by showing them the love that passeth all understanding, because Pope Ricky wants to hear from you, too.

He said so himself, and he is the man in charge.
