(about Ellen deGeneres marrying her girlfriend)
Overheard someone on the tube this morning making a remark about how her career was pronounced DOA after her 'coming out'. Then after heaping praise on her they said "gee, things sure have changed in the past ten years", but they certainly weren't pointing out anything wrong with her views, but rather society is now enlightened. As stated in the 'San Francisco' thread, "El DeGenerato" would be a fitting tribute for their new name and this shamelessly overhyped couple.

So...wait...do you think that they should be ranting about how "homosexiality iz rong!!" simply due to having mentioned Ellen? Are you also saying that it is not "enlightened" to refrain that kind of idiocy? Please...I would like to know.
Yes, how dare they praise a woman on expressing her love, even if it's for another woman, rather than crucifying her, either figuratively or literally. And WE'RE the amoral ones?!
...they certainly weren't pointing out anything wrong with her views, but rather society is now enlightened.
Given that "out" homosexuals can even have a career, I'd agree thaht society has become somewhat more enlightened. 50 years ago they'd never have worked again. In Britain, fruits used to be arrested.
This relationship, in the words of Thomas Jefferson, neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg. Why should I worry about it? I have my own lover.
But apparently our esteemed moral scolds aren't satisfied that Ellen and Portia are leaving them alone, and relish the opportunity they see to attack the two.
Oy.
So what if they're chicks? It's just a celebrity marriage. Big fucking deal.
If you were getting some, you'd have other things on your mind.
Logosone, we know it sucks that you're sexless and can't get laid, but don't take it out on the people who can, okay dearie?
Oh, and it's only this couple that is "shamelessly overhyped?" What about Brangelina? What about Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes? Yet I don't see you fundies complaining about them. Oh, but they're straight, which means that they're special and deserve every ounce of attention that they get. Give me a break.
So, hang on. Her career was DOA, despite having made another sitcom, continuing standup tours, and a successful talk show? That's more than you've done, isn't it?
Sorry to be catty, but I've always liked Ellen.
After DeGeneres came out as a lesbian, televangelist Jerry Falwell referred to her in a sermon as "Ellen DeGenerate." DeGeneres responded: "Really, he called me that? Ellen DeGenerate? I've been getting that since the fourth grade."
So, ahem, foad. Hopefully soon for you RR bitches :D
Your schtick's getting old, ZeroNinny.
For that matter, so's the RaptureReadians' screed.
........El DeGenerato...? WTF is that supposed to mean? Dude, just call her Ellen Degenerate. It's RIGHT THERE. She's been making jokes about it for years, so even if it isn't original, it at least MEANS something.
And yes, things have changed, and thank goodness.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
