From AMERICAblog:
Tap Your Foot Twice If You’re For Marriage
As you may recall, the Republicans in Congress want to amend the US Constitution with anti-gay language that would supposedly “ban gay marriage.” In fact, the amendment would likely rescind state and local laws that outlaw job discrimination against gays and provide gay partners with health benefits, and it would likely rescind laws protecting unmarried women from things such as being beaten to a bloody pulp by their boyfriends (this actually happened in Ohio, where the state court found that the local anti-gay-marriage amendment invalidated state laws covering the domestic abuse of unmarried women). Anyway, who is on the very short list of Senators introducing the “Marriage Protection Amendment” in the Senate? Why none other than foot-tapping Senator Larry Craig (R-ID), and whore-mongering Senator David Vitter (R-LA). You’ll recall that the very-married Larry Craig was caught tapping his foot alongside a really hot male cop in an airport bathroom. And the very-married and very-family-values-proclaiming David Vitter, we now know, has repeatedly frequented female hookers.
So there you have it. Two of the Republicans’ biggest marriage hypocrites - Larry Craig, who was accused of trying to have sex with a man (who was not his wife) in a bathroom, and David Vitter who has been repeatedly accused of frequenting hookers (who also were not his wife) - want to amend the Constitution to “protect” marriage.
Perhaps you all should call Larry Craig’s and David Vitter’s offices and ask them the following:
Senator Larry Craig
tel: 202-224-2752
email: http://craig.senate.gov/webform.cfm
Message: Can a married guy give handjobs and blowjobs to other guys in bathrooms and still defend heterosexual marriage?
Senator David Vitter
Phone: (202) 224-4623
email: http://vitter.senate.gov/?module=webformiqv1
Message: How many whores does a married guy have to sleep with before he’s no longer defending marriage? And does the price of the whore matter?
Oh, and please do report back in the comments how your phone calls went with Craig’s and Vitter’s offices.

I just shot off a couple of emails. I’m sure nothing will come of it, but it was fun to call them out on their shit.

Vitter’s office boy (with a cute southern accent) didn’t like my use of the word “whorehouse.” lol

You can’t make this shit up! These two are like the Rosetta Stone of Congressional Comedy. C’mon!
How sad and pathetic is the Republican party right now? Seriously.

My heart goes to you all my fellow american gay and lesbian friend. Here in Canada, altough we have a conservative (read here retrograde) governement, we (LGBT) have much more respect from our governement and citizen. We have same sex mariage and constitutional protection. And our supreme court, for now is more liberal than yours.
I hope you will be able to stop that insanity!!!
