Family Research Council calls for ‘civil disobedience’ to block same sex marriages

[chemp]

In an special broadcast titled “Election 2012: Aftermath & Aftershocks,” FRC president Tony Perkins told Senior Vice President Tom McClusky that LGBT marriage rights were still “morally wrong” even though pro marriage eqaulity measures passed in Maine, Maryland and Washington. Voters in Minnesota also defeated a proposed amendment to codify marriage discrimination in the state’s constitution.

“The people can vote on it — it’s the first time we’ve seen that [pass] — courts can rule on it, but I don’t think you can violate natural law and force Americans to recognize it as morally right,” Perkins explained.

“I think the term for a lot of things over the next four years, civil disobedience is going to come into play,” McClusky agreed.

Raw Story (http://s.tt/1sC5f)

How? By publicly NOT marrying someone of the same sex?

[jberryhill]

1. They are going to mass-avod marrying people of the same sex?

How does one engage in civil disobedience against something other people voluntarily do?

[Raster]

2. Oh really? Civil disobedience to block same sex marriages?

Bring it on, motherfuckers. Bring it on.

[Anthony McCarthy]

3. Straight kiss-ins?

Oh, wait. Who'd notice?

I predict the Fuglicans are going to actually turn violent. They've been arming to the teeth and inciting violent paranoia for decades. That is going to produce open violence, eventually.

[Democrats_win]

8. Straight kiss-in is the best idea---ever!

Just think, how can anyone be angry while they're kissing?

Someone once said it's impossible to be angry while listening to Beatles music. You can see why because they keep singing "love love love."

Bring on the straight kiss-ins, the world would be a much better place!

[closeupready]

21. Must be a lot of angry fundies these parts -

I see that WAY too much.

[JustFiveMoreMinutes]

4. Strange 'call to action'... what? Don't attend if you get an invitation?

If you're a clerk, not fill out the form?

If you're a preacher/justice o peace, not perform?

If you're a bridal/tux shop, not sale/rent?

Oooooo... sooo scary.

[RomneyLies]

9. The clerk would lose their job

The preacher would be within their rights. Not so for the JP.

The shop owners depends on the state, but they would probably be violating the law in a state that has passed same sex marriage into law.

My suspicion is something on the scale of Operation Rescue from the eighties blocking access to getting married physically.

[JustFiveMoreMinutes]

12. "blocking access": they'd have to know where, when, etc etc.

... and I doubt they could keep me and my friends out of my backyard. LOL!

[Ikonoklast]

5. If they attempted to thwart the marraige of two people that were family or friends of mine,

then they also better have the police on speed-dial as I would show them just how un-civil my response to their disruption of a private function might be.

And the funny thing is, theire would be at least three current and two retired LEO's at any family function of mine to begin with, along with at least three attornies.

[exboyfil]

6. Disrupt wedding ceremonies?

Boy that will go over well.

[Proud Liberal Dem]

15. Maybe the Phelps clan will picket same-sex marriages

Problem is, how will they know?

[DisgustipatedinCA]

7. Civil disobedience is peaceful. Civil disobediance will not block same-sex marriages.

They're welcome to, I don't know, sit in front of a church holding a same-sex wedding and protest it. But they can't physically stop people and call it civil disobedience. This hate group should be watched very carefully.

[randome]

10. They'll give them the silent treatment. Oh. The horror.

[JustFiveMoreMinutes]

14. <shudder> n/t

[Enrique]

11. when they come to force you to gay marriage

don't do it!

[Fire Walk With Me]

13. No. No no no no no no no no no no. Idiots.

[nadinbrzezinski]

16. Hey tony, the 1700 called

They are willing to take you in.

[MrScorpio]

17. Death spirals

Not very pretty

[arcane1]

18. NOBODY is trying to "force Americans to recognize it as morally right" Jackass!!!

Not you Chemp, Tony Perkins

[Initech]

19. Hey "Family" Research Council: your bigotry hurts more families than it helps!

[calico1]

20. It's stupid but aside from being stupid I don't know how

they would go about doing this. How would they find out who is getting married and where?

Or do they just plan random protests in all the States that have legalized gay marriage?

Silly people.

[MineralMan]

22. Oh, noes! The FRC is going to disobey. How naughty of them!

But, as long as they do it in a civil way, I suppose it's alright. We'll just ignore their disobedience, like we do sometimes with unruly children. No need to give them the satisfaction of a response.

[kelliekat44]

23. Blacks were FORCED to ride the back of the bus. No one is FORCiing anyone to marry same sex.!!

People just need to get a life!

[WCGreen]

24. I could see this if we liberals were forcing people to marry someone of the same sex...

But since it is a choice in a free society, you get to have the right to not marry someone of your same sex. PERIOD!

We are not a theocracy, no matter how much you want to believe that.

How would you like it if I were to say you can no longer be a Catholic or Lutheran or Snake Handler but you have to be a Mormon.

[calico1]

25. But a lot of them do believe that...

The the ultimate goal is forced same sex marriage.

[WCGreen]

28. Well, I think more mature people believe the actions of others do not

impinge on the lives of those who don't agree.

We tolerate Republicans, nuff said!

[sibelian]

32. In God's name WHY?

WHY do they believe it? What is going ON?

[randome]

27. Lewis Black's rant on opposition to gay marriage is brilliant!

I forget which show it was but I feel the need to watch it again.

[SpartanDem]

26. If one these civil disobedience actions goes bad and there's a confrontation with police

this is going play into their whole persecution complex.

[FSogol]

29. They wait until this part of the ceremony:

"If any person can show just cause why they may not be joined together – let them speak now or forever hold their peace" and then jump up shouting.

Just like in the romantic comedies.

[HappyMe]

31. They can easily be prevented from entering the court house.

[HappyMe]

30. So, what are they going to do?

Buy them a lousy toaster as a wedding gift?

[bongbong]

33. Wait!

What about the monthly gay abortions that the Kenyan Marxist Muslin Communist Dictator is going to force on all the reds now?

[PD Turk]

34. sounds like they may want to try and disrupt ceremonies

If that's the case, I've worked as a bouncer a few times in my life, if anybody needs any help, I'd be glad to toss them out just for fun

[Efilroft Sul]

35. Civil disobedience? You mean they'll prevent Chik-Fil-A from closing on Saturday night?

[Blue_Tires]

36. I wonder if ‘civil disobedience’ will be seen by some nuts as

"mail bombs and shooting sprees"....

That's definitely how the anti-abortion fundies see it

[hifiguy]

37. So you're gonna sit and hold your breath until

you turn purple, Tony? How mature of you.
