Nonfail with A Little Bit of Fail Blog

I have a little bit of both a fail and a nonfail for you today. Let’s start with the fail so we can pad it with the nonfail to keep us smiling through the weekend. The fail goes like this: New York and New Jersey have decided that they are too good for gay marriage. New Jersey vetoed the bill before it was released to the public for voting. That hurts my soul. The New York governor said that he was going to do the same. Our only hope was the New England states and now they are letting us down. Out of all the states, I would think New York and California would be the ones to allow gay marriage because of the movie and theatre industries, but we have all been proven wrong. That kills. People just suck you know. Put down the tub of ice cream and the brick you’re about to throw through your window and keep reading.

The nonfail is that someone came up with an awesome idea to push into the crazy right wing faces by implementing the 2010 California Marriage Protection Act. John Marcotte is the master mind behind this little piece of awesomeness. Basically, this act was brought about as a form to protect marriage, but in a kiss my ass kind of way. Marcotte figured that since California residents were ready to keep gays from getting married as a form of protecting marriage, he was going to try to protect marriage in his own fashion by not allowing divorce. This is genius! If this act gets passed, divorce will no longer be legal in California. Try that on for size. He is sending out petitions to be signed as well as selling t-shirts for $12. The t-shirt design is kind of hilarious.

Marcotte needs 694,354 valid signatures by March 22. He is trying to get the petition on Facebook for people to sign. So what are you waiting for? Sign the damn thing and buy a t-shirt. I know I will. Happy gay Friday y’all!!!

  1. The best part? Marcotte is ... straight and married. Yep. He takes part in that "traditional institution" that we're all trying like hell to destroy, and he's still on our side. Gasp!

    The world needs more people like this guy. He sees an injustice, and even though he could continue about his daily life and be completely unaffected personally he still stands up against it. Good on you, Mr. Marcotte. I hope your example stirs others to action.
