Someone stands up for gay marriage--what a concept!

As anyone who reads this blog knows, the whole sham of "civil unions" makes me so angry I could break something. All marriages in the United States are civil unions. The priest or clergywoman will not marry you unless you have a marriage license, which is what proves you are married. It is a civil contract.

Calling gay marriage something else so that people will feel better is not only dishonest, but insulting. And in his latest concert, "I'm Swiss," Bill Maher takes on this ridiculous "liberal" notion. Maher compares calling gay marriage "civil union" to telling marijuana smokers that the drug is illegal, but everyone knows they can just leave the restaurant and smoke it in the alley. "Call what you're doing under your roof a civil union," he says. "Go stand in the alley and drink your brandy."

Amen.
