The institution of marriage is not under attack as a result of the President’s words. Marriage was under attack years ago by men who viewed women as property and children as trophies of sexual prowess. Marriage is under attack by low wages, high incarceration, unfair tax policy, unemployment, and lack of education. Marriage is under attack by clergy who proclaim monogamy yet think nothing of stepping outside the bonds of marriage to have multiple affairs with “preaching groupies.
Rev. Otis Moss III, Senior Pastor of Trinity United Church of Christ (via touchoftea)
I love Anderson Cooper so much. He was talking to a lady who was defending the pastor who said gays and lesbians should be put behind electrified fences and die out. This happened:
Cooper:
I imagine if it was putting Jews behind electrified fences, you'd be saying something different.
Pritchard:
Now, here we go again. We all know that's not gonna happen--
Cooper:
Actually, that has happened. It's called the Holocaust.
