Texas Governor Rick Perry, already drawing strong criticism for his good-ol-boy double-taxation tollway proposals, has now come under heavy fire from gay-rights advocates for the his recent and calloused remarks about military gays returning to find a same-sex marriage ban on the Texas November ballot.

Gay, lesbians rally from Governor's Mansion to Capitol

From: Austin American Statesman
On June 5, Perry signed legislation to put on the ballot a proposed amendment defining marriage as being between a man and a woman. He then was asked how he would tell gay and lesbian veterans coming home from war that they can't marry.

"I'm going to say Texas has made a decision on marriage," Perry replied, "and if there's a state with more lenient views than Texas, then maybe that's where they should live."

(Emphasis mine)


Just who in the hell does Gov. Perry think he is? I say, let's smite the mofo with a gay invasion. Rather than having returning military gays relocate to other "more lenient" states, we instead invite gays and lesbians, from across the nation and the world, to re-locate to Texas. Strength in numbers, right? Hell, if Spain can legalize gay marriage then I say Texas can at least learn to live with us. Dammit, we're here, we're queer, get used to it already.

PS: Yes, the toll issue is spearate, but the T-shirt says it all. :D

lol, anyone make a similar shirt for IW use? People up here in IL are probably not going to understand what it means :D

Gays in the millitary deserve more respect. They're putting their lives on the line for a country that doesn't even give them rights. Damn Dont-Ask-Dont-Tell policy... if the gays in the military come out to protect those rights, then they'll be discharged. :mad:

Fucking bureaucracy.
