Actually this is more disheartening than funny, and simply reaffirms what I (and many of us) already knew about some of our fundie friends.
Their "Christian" rhetoric is simply a veil for their hatred.
Yes hatred. What other word could you use to describe this?

To: U.S. Congress
WE, THE FOLLOWING CITIZENS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, propose a Constitutional Amendment to the United States Constitution, named The American Families Protection Amendment, designed to protect the structure and integrity of the nuclear family which consists of a man and a woman who are legally married before a court or a religious institution, and their children.
Specifically, this Amendment would prohibit the following:
- Prohibit states, cities, and counties from extending to homosexuals, lesbians, bisexuals, and transgendered people special rights such as protection from job and housing "discrimination";
- Establishing the Judeo-Christian pronouncements against homosexuality as noted in The Holy Scriptures, specifically Genesis 19:1-11, Leviticus 18:22, Romans 1:24-28, 1 Corinthians 6:9-11, 1 Timothy 1:9-10 as legal and binding on all citizens and non-citizens of the United States of America.
- Prohibit schools from allowing homosexuals, lesbians, bisexuals, and transgendered people to gather together in groups on school property to discuss and garner support for their perversion;
- Cut ALL Federal and state funding to schools who do allow homosexuals, lesbians, bisexuals, and transgendered people to gather in groups on school property to discuss and garner support for their perversion;
- Prohibit textbooks from mentioning or discussing homosexuality, lesbianism, bisexuality, and "gender dysporhia"; as well as evolution and abortion;
- Prohibit homosexuals, lesbians, bisexuals, and transgendered people from adopting children, acting as foster parents for children, or visiting houses where children are known to live;
- Prohibit homosexuals, lesbians, bisexuals, and transgendered people from living within 1,500 feet of any dwelling where children are known to live or visit;
- Prohibit homosexuals, lesbians, bisexuals, and transgendered people from working in any profession where they may come in contact with children;
- Prohibit places of worship from hiring homosexuals, lesbians, bisexuals, and transgendered people as clergy and staff members, or using such people as volunteers;
- Annul any "civil unions" or "holy unions" which may have occurred, and prohibit any further "civil unions" or "holy unions" between homosexuals, lesbians, bisexuals, and transgendered people;
- Prohibit any states, cities, or county governments, or any private company from offering wasteful "domestic partner benefits" between homosexuals, lesbians, bisexuals, and transgendered people (which really amounts to nothing more than paid AIDS coverage);
- Require that all states revise their penal codes to criminalize any consensual or non-consensual sex acts between homosexuals, lesbians, bisexuals, and transgendered people as FELONIES; and to permanently revoke the right of ANY CONVICTED FELON to vote in any election;
- Require ALL homosexuals, lesbians, bisexuals, and transgendered people to register with their state Departments of Public Safety, and their local police departments as sex offenders, and requiring all local law enforcement agencies to post notices on all houses within a three-block radius where any homosexuals, lesbians, bisexuals, and transgendered people are known to live;
- Close ALL meetings places where homosexuals, lesbians, bisexuals, and transgendered people congregate, including Metropolitan Community "Churches", bars, nightclubs, baths, coffeehouses, magazine shops, film and DVD rental stores, etc.;
- Make it a Federal crime for any homosexuals, lesbians, bisexuals, and transgendered people to own property, or to inherit property through a will or power of attorney;
- Allow states, cities, and counties to confiscate the property of known or suspected homosexuals, lesbians, bisexuals, and transgendered people through right of eminent domain, and to require that all funds received through such right of eminent domain be returned to the states, cities and counties to reimburse them for their legal expenses;
- Make it a Federal crime for any known homosexuals, lesbians, bisexuals, and transgendered people to congregate for any purpose, whatsoever.
WE, THE FOLLOWING CITIZENS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, do hereby attest our support for this Constitutional Amendment, and do petition our desire that this Amendment be enacted, by our signatures below.
Sincerely,
The Undersigned

If a constitutional amendment like this were to ever pass, and luckily that's not too likely with the two thirds majority required, it would be the first time that discrimination were enshrined into the constitution instead of freedom and liberty.
Now we begin to see the price of apathy and indifference to the political process.
On a funny note, many of the signitures are hilarious:

I'll probably sign too, but I need to think of something original. :D:stongue: |

| Actually it's more funny than disheartening. Taking a quick 2 second glance over the petition, I noticed that some of the prohibitions trample on about half of the amendments in the bill of rights. You wouldn't even see one congressman sign this thing without insane backlash. I would have an equal liklihood of passing an amendment that established myself as dictator-for-life with free strip club benefits whereever I went. |

i only got as far as them declaring protection from discrimination and provision of housing as "special rights". Most societies these days see them as very basic rights that we try to provide for everyone. Therefore these people want to live in a society with a very different foundation from the society we are living in.
Maybe we should create a homeland for these far right wing sorts, with their rules, and the rest of the world can put sanctions on it for their apartheid-like policies. |
