Supreme Court Justices Brought To Tears By Heartfelt Testimony Of Bigot Who Hates Gay People
WASHINGTON—Listening to oral arguments Wednesday regarding the constitutionality of the Defense of Marriage Act, all nine Supreme Court justices were reportedly moved to tears by the heartfelt and highly personal testimony of a bigot who despises homosexuals unreservedly. “It’s impossible for anyone who hasn’t spent their whole life in a state of benighted prejudice to know the pain and hardship that people like myself endure every day in our efforts to ensure that gays and lesbians remain oppressed and unequal,” said the immense homophobe, whose stirring, emotional speech about his harrowing daily struggles to impede social progress prompted a weeping Chief Justice John Roberts to halt the proceedings briefly so that he and the 500 individuals in attendance could compose themselves.
And from the UK: US Supreme Court to make historic ruling on eating shellfish.
I listened to non-satirical coverage of the debates on NPR. The arguments against gay marriage were pretty fucking ridiculous. It’s hard to accurately satirize that much close-mindedness.
