MLK's neice says gay marriage will lead to "extinction" and amounts to "genocide"...

[cynatnite]

Redefining marriage" by allowing gay couples to legally wed amounts to "genocide" and will lead to the "extinction" of the human race, the niece of Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. argued on the steps of the Georgia Capitol today.

The National Organization for Marriage brought its national road tour to Atlanta on Saturday, but once again, supporters of the group that fights against gay marriage were vastly outnumbered by a counter-protest for LGBT equality.

1. Her Aunt and Uncle are rolling over in their graves

n/t

[JerseygirlCT]

14. Agreed!

One of their kids, though, is against gay civil rights, IIRC, though, right?

Somewhere along the line some really important lessons were missed there.

[roguevalley]

38. MLK's niece is a jackass.

[xultar]

2. Unfortunately you cannot controll the gene pool in a family.

[bullwinkle428]

22. She's clearly from the shallow end of that gene pool!

[valerief]

3. I smell $$$$ for that comment. nt

[brewens]

4. Oh crap! I didn't realize that we ALL have to be gay now!

Somebody better do somthing to stop those people!:sarcasm:
As if it needed the sarcasm smilie:)

[woo me with science]

7. It's in the fine print.

Didn't you read it?

I am at least hoping we still get the toaster.

[Cherchez la Femme]

44. Only if you get married! (oh, wait...)

& I withhold all toasters unless I'm invited to the church AND reception! :P

[aquart]

23. That seems to be what she's saying.

Which means she really has a lot of self-examination she needs to do.

[Cherchez la Femme]

43. Don't you know that absolutely everybody really wants to be gay?

Even secretly?
Go to any given fundie church any Sunday, look around and all you'll see are closeted, gay people scared silly they'll be found out.

...wait, that actually might be true....

How about:

Everyone wants to be bashed, beaten, killed for being gay
by, uh,
other people who are also really gay??


*sigh* NM, irony doesn't work very well in this subject...

[leftofcool]

5. You have got to be kidding me????????????

[babylonsister]

6. That's depressing. nt

[walldude]

8. Shame on her...

This is what she uses her fathers legacy for? To promote the same hate that he was fighting against? Shame on her. How can you be that fucking blind?

[smiley]

31. his niece

not his daughter. Still shamefull though.

[walldude]

32. Oops my bad... thanks...

[SoCalDem]

9. Perhaps she's just a nut

Children of famous people often "disappoint"

[SheilaT]

10. That actually displays a hilarious

degree of ignorance.

Quite frankly, it's us heterosexuals who are responsible for the overpopulation . . . . well I take that back partially, since gay men have become biological fathers, and lesbian women have had biological children, but for the most part it's the rest of us who have kids. And no matter how you look at it we are in a clear majority.

I do see a need to rewrite certain laws concerning marriage and divorce to be gender neutral, but I see no real down side to gay marriage.

[racaulk]

11. Absolutely disgusting.

Her aunt and uncle would be ashamed of her for her words on Saturday.

:puke:

[RKP5637]

12. There's always a few degenerates in a family. n/t

[NeedleCast]

13. That's so sad...but continues a long line of "I've got mine-ism" in the US

[RainDog]

15. what an idiot

and an example of how the religious right wing continues to pervert christianity

[Subdivisions]

16. Has she forgotten that us heterosexuals are not gay? Astonishing that

she would feel this way. Simply astonishing.

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

17. Yeah, because no one is spawning anymore

Give me a fucking break.

[nosmokes]

18. There's one(at least) in every family. n/t

[ericinne]

19. Now I'm fearful!!

Well great, "the gay" is contagious and as addicting as nicotine. If we change all our laws and let "the gay" marry, others will want to try "the gay" and our entire Earth population will be destroyed.

This really makes me worry. 2 of my co-workers are "the gay" and my boss she is also "the gay". My children are exposed to them constantly. Do I need to worry my son is going to pick up "the gay"? I mean, if he sees my 2 co workers actually have the chance to marry each other if they so desire, is he gonna think to himself.. well wow, I haven't gotten a girlfriend yet, and gee, I'd really like to be married in a long lasting relationship, I think I'll try "the gay" path. Thus ruining my chance of becoming a grandfather because legalizing gay marriage makes being "the gay" trendy.

Christ this world is FULL of retards. Makes me wonder if genocide ISN'T the answer. :sarcasm:

[Cherchez la Femme]

46. It's not even exposure to gays

your children, your spouse, your parents, YOU will automatically become gay if this Christian Country founded on Christian Values *TM doesn't fight the gay scourge by denunciation from the pulpit (and the street) and enactment of good "Moral" legislation by our "Moral" Congress,
not to mention some good old hometown gay-bashing for sport or to let off steam -- heterosexually approved!

Resistance is futile. Beware, take care.
PULL DA STRINGS!

LOL Sorry, went off on an Ed Wood tangent there. Yet even HE was close to being gay, ya know -- cross-dressing is a Gateway Gay Behavior, much like smoking even one MaryJane cigarette can easily & quickly cause you to become both a full-blown Heroin *and* a Meth addict!
Tch, everyone knows that, hasn't everyone seen the documentary Reefer Madness? :P

[Sheepshank]

20. what an idiotic statement!

That one little excerpt in the op seems to say all of these things (and more) at the same time:

#1 is she assuming that there have never been gay persons that engaged in gay relationships? It's a new phenomenon.
#2 Is she assuming that previously all gay people married and had heterosexual relations for the sole purpose of procreating?
#3 Every single person on the planet is about to become gay?
#4 She is implying that all heterosexual couples a) get married b) want children c) are able to have children.
#4 She fails to acknowledge that, golly darn, variety and diversity is what keeps a species flourishing and life interesting.

what an embarrassing human being.

edited to add #4 and #5

[thereismore]

21. Every sperm is sacred! nt

[Cherchez la Femme]

47. Best musical number I've ever seen!

:applause:

[Starbucks Anarchist]

24. Because all straight people are fertile, right?

:eyes:

[Stevenmarc]

25. Obviously she's not been run over by a stroller in a gay neighborhood

[Duncan Grant]

26. This is what happens when you only read one book. (nt)

[Sea Witch]

37. What a terrific saying.

[ljm2002]

27. She must be really stupid...

...to believe that allowing gay marriage will mean heterosexuals will stop procreating. Either that or she's a closeted homosexual who feels that everyone is like her and therefore they will choose to marry someone of the same sex as soon as it's allowed.

Well in either case she is dumb as a fencepost. Dumber, even.

[BootinUp]

28. yea /sarcasm

:thumbsdown:

[wolfgirl]

29. she's sad...

I think everyone has one of these individuals in the family tree!

[DailyGrind51]

30. A lot of unresolved grief clouding her thinking.

[DevonRex]

33. Good to hear that the counter-protest showed up in much larger numbers. And shame on her. nt

[beac]

34. Yeah, b/c the planet is SO almost out of people as it is.

:eyes:

What a shame that this hateful person shares King's name. And what did she get her doctorate in, bigotry??

[Parker CA]

35. How sad...

[Sea Witch]

36. What an idiot

[REP]

39. And I care what this crazy fucker says because she's vaguely related to someone famous?

[GreenPartyVoter]

40. +1000

[EFerrari]

41. If the human race is this stupid, extinction might just be the kindest outcome.

lol

[Cherchez la Femme]

42. Rec for content dispersal, not approval

*sigh* gotta qualify everything nowadays...

It's truly amazing to me how bigoted a lot of the black community can be. They act like LGBTQI's are something completely foreign to them, not that there are homosexuals across the entire spectrum of society
--even those with darker skin color, even those in their own families :(

[Odin2005]

45. Her uncle would of firmly scolded her for such bigoted sentiment.

[nadinbrzezinski]

48. Let me get this straight...

oh upper range 10% of couples are gay will lead to extinction....

Somebody did not pass math or logic for that matter.

That said, African American and Latino Communities are well behind the power curve on this issue. No, not all, not everybody... but in polling data they tend to be far more conservative on this issue, PERIOD.
