Homophobesota

I hate to make generalizations about my readers, but I suspect that for most, the usual activity on April 20th ("4-20") is to get stoned, watch The Big Lebowski and maybe play some Playstation. However, if you want to be productive before/after/during your celebration, I suggest you head on down to the (Minnesota) state capital and support equal marriage rights against the completely random attack from the bigots. Specifically, MN Politics pointed me to THIS (small .Pdf), a release from the organizers of the event, "Minnesota For Marriage," citing last year's equivalent hetero-rights rally which apparently drew some attendees with "hateful" and "inappropriate" anti-gay signs, which I imagine would have made positively-spun media-coverage difficult. The memo goes on to suggest some family-friendly [in the parlance of the time] slogans to use in support of the amendment. I refuse to reprint them so you'll have to check them out for yourself.

I suggest we make our own signs and disperse ourselves unobtrusively amongst the gathered homophobes. The idea is to integrate just enough to look like we belong, so as to avoid being fatally bludgeoned with bibles. Signage-ambiguity is key. In most cases, eventually someone will figure out that our slogans aren't exactly helping their cause, but any impact is impact. Here's some I came up with this morning:

----
Protect My Sham-Marriage!
----
Legislate Intolerance!

----
Shelter Our Children from Open-Mindedness!
----
God hates Quee-
Homo-
Ga-

Intra-Genderally-Preferenced Individuals
----
Osama is Pro-Gay
----
Say NO Too Gay Marridge!
----
Gay Sex is "In-Conceivable"
----
Marriage is Defined as Being Between a MALE and a FEMALE Who May or May Not be Cousins.
----


Or write your own. Have fun with it. Admittedly, it's not like these people need our help to look stupid, I'm just looking to make trouble in a legal way and have a little fun at the same time. Some people simply deserve to be screwed with. Disagree? Have any sign suggestions of your own you'd like to share? Don't be shy...
