aatombomb: equalitopia: Iceland passes gay marriage law in unanimous vote (49-0) In an unanimous vote, Iceland passed a law on Friday allowing same-sex couples to marry. In 2009, Iceland became the first country to elect an openly gay head of state. fuckyeahlgbt reports: Great news coming out of Iceland this month, as it became the ninth country in the world to offer full marriage equality to all its citizens! The parliamentary vote passed unanimously, 49 to 0, making Iceland join the ranks of Canada, Belgium, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, South Africa, Spain and Sweden in legalizing same-sex marriage.

“ Marriage used to be one man making a gift of a piece of property to another man. One man gave the property called daughter to another man and it became the property called wife. She had no rights. She was his thing. She could be disposed of, beaten, she couldn’t own property… That went on for millenia. And then straight people, to their credit, in the West, said, ‘You know what? Fuck this,’ and re-defined marriage. And what is it now? It’s two equal, legally autonomous individuals who have made a commitment to each other. What defines their commitment? Ask them! It can be monogamos, or not. They can have children, or not. It can be a religious ritual, or not. It can be for life, or not. It’s up to them! …It’s only now when gay people have looked at that institution and said, ‘We deserve in. We deserve equal rights and equal treatments. Our relationships deserve the same protections and responsibilities,’ that people say, ‘Oh, no, marriage is about monogamy and children.’ Really?

“ I grew up around gay people my entire life, basically, that’s possibly why I’m quite camp, and some people think I’m gay when I meet them, which I think is awesome. It’s always good to keep them guessing [laughs]. I don’t go on any blogs or chats or anything, but my friends are demons for them, and apparently someone said “Daniel Radcliffe is gay. He’s got a gay face!” [Laughs] I really don’t know what a gay face is. But I think it’s wonderful that Dumbledore was outed as gay … Half of me thinks Jo Rowling just did that to see if she could piss off the right wing, but I’m not sure how true that is. I think she had it planned, I think she always knew he was gay.

This is a REALLY great short on whether or not homosexuality is a choice. One of my favorite things to take away from this video (there are many) is the fact that:

The American Medical Association, the American Psychiatric Association, the American Psychological Association, the American Psychoanalytic Association, the American Academy of Pediatrics, and the National Association of Social Workers have all stated that homosexuality should not be treated as a mental disorder and that homosexuality is not a choice, and cannot be changed.

Hypocrites

An engineering professor is treating her husband, a loan officer, to dinner for finally giving in to her pleas to shave off the scraggly beard he grew on vacation. His favorite restaurant is a casual place where they both feel comfortable in slacks and cotton/polyester-blend golf shirts. But, as always, she wears the gold and pearl pendant he gave her the day her divorce decree was final. They’re laughing over their menus because they know he always ends up diving into a giant plate of ribs but she won’t be talked into anything more fattening than shrimp.

Quiz: How many biblical prohibitions are they violating? Well, wives are supposed to be ‘submissive’ to their husbands (I Peter 3:1). And all women are forbidden to teach men (I Timothy 2:12), wear gold or pearls (I Timothy 2:9) or dress in clothing that ‘pertains to a man’ (Deuteronomy 22:5). Shellfish and pork are definitely out (Leviticus 11:7, 10) as are usury (Deuteronomy 23:19), shaving (Leviticus 19:27) and clothes of more than one fabric (Leviticus 19:19). And since the Bible rarely recognizes divorce, they’re committing adultery, which carries the rather harsh penalty of death by stoning (Deuteronomy 22:22).

So why are they having such a good time? Probably because they wouldn’t think of worrying about rules that seem absurd, anachronistic or - at best - unrealistic. Yet this same modern-day couple could easily be among the millions of Americans who never hesitate to lean on the Bible to justify their own anti-gay attitudes.
