We cats are always interested in the confluence of events — both intended and un-. So we found yesterday's gay-rights news to be particularly amusing.
Why? Oh, just because the homophobic right wing staged its "March for Marriage" in Washington, DC — and on the very same day, the Presbyterian Church (USA) voted in favor of marriage equality. Purr-fect!
"The church affirmed all its faithful members today. This vote is an answer to many prayers for the church to recognize love between committed same-sex couples," said Alex McNeill, executive director at More Light Presbyterians.
Meanwhile, here's what they were saying on the National Mall: “Government does not give us our rights,” but God does.
Ya know what, guys? When it comes to legal marriage, government does indeed give you your freaking rights. And the states, one by one, are deciding that no matter whom you love, you can marry. Deal with it.
Meanwhile, Canada is quickly coming up on the 10th anniversary of its nationwide granting of marriage equality. We look forward to the day when we can mark a similar anniversary for the United States. In anticipation of same, we cats PURR.
