I live in Rhode Island and it sucks ! I swear it makes up the rules and regs.& laws from minute to minute , as it taxes the crap out of us !! Gay marriage I don’t see it but they’ll sure as hell tax it . Money, money, money, is all this state is about !! For us who might eventually find “the one” and want even a civil union God help us, we’re going to need it in this no you can’t do that state …..

Do we need any more reasons to bemoan a theocracy? Our pastor in chief of the last 8 years did enough damage..stacked our court with Catholics and funded evil religion to new heights.

Rhode Island does indeed have a history of religious freedom but it seems the working class catholic masses have since descended on the little colony and given over their brains to the theocracy.

it is high time to enforce separation of church and state. And yes it applies here…we have the state (not) making laws to establish religion..i.e. willfully discrimating at the edict of its religious leadership.

Each and every catholic official opposing our equality needs to be outed for what they represent: giving their public offices over to church bullying willfully.

Frankly, the many times I’ve been to the state I never had any luck finding another lesbian let alone a gay newspaper or bar.

OUT THE BIGOTS CAMPAIGN!

“You know the votes” Well tell us who is NOT VOTING FOR Equality so we can out their Bigot Asses, OR let us put Gris-Gris (Gree Gree) curses on them. They think we are “Evil”, let’s show em evil and get their asses out of the offices.

“House Speaker William Murphy and Senate President M. Teresa Paiva-Weed, both Democrats and Catholics, oppose gay marriage.”

“Even if a simple majority of lawmakers backed Perry’s bill, Republican Gov. Don Carcieri – another Catholic – would almost certainly veto it. Overriding a veto requires the support of 60 percent of lawmakers in each chamber.”

So, we have some names, we know how to write, call, bitch, moan and groan. We ALSO know how to hire Private Investigators to follow these holier than thou people to expose them for what they really are! Don’t we?

I curse em wish they all to get what they deserve.

Nice to just vent sometimes.

I hope Tobin has a painfully case of Prostate Cancer and he dies a slow painful death…

I believe in Karma and the hate that they project will be returned to them 10 Fold!

Most of you will think I am horrible for feeling this way, but it makes me feel better.

That fool Bishop Thomas Tobin puts his mortal soul at risk of damnation by lieing: “We don’t see it as a civil rights issue because there’s never a right to do something that’s morally wrong.” Well…except that he knows damned well that although his church condemns fellatio and cunnilingus as morally wrong, even between a man and wife in the privacy of their bedroom, under our American system of laws and governance they have the perfect right to suck cock and eat pussy all the live-long day behind their own closed bedroom door. Liar.

Not a surprise from confused RC Leadership! At least the Roman Ambassador to RI admits that the RC Church takes pride in promoting discrimination against US Citizens, disrespecting marriage and harming families.

Hopefully Americans will someday revolt and send them all back to the country of the Roman Vatican State, and leave the US politics to Americans!

Their religious argument against marriage equality is ridiculous to me, considering that it wouldn’t effect them at all. Churches would not be forced to marry same-sex couples, so what are they complaining about? *sigh* No wonder I’m no longer Catholic.

Bishop Tobin should take 2 altar boys and call me in the morning.
