FRC Official: Call Gay Marriage 'Garriage' And Lesbian Marriage 'Larriage

Pat Fagan, the director of the Family Research Council’s Marriage and Religious Research Institute, suggested yesterday that marriage equality opponents start referring to gay men’s marriages as “garriage” and lesbians’ marriages as “larriage,” with the overarching term for “homosexual marriage” being “harriage.”

Fagan made his proposal in a question to Ryan T. Anderson, the marriage equality opponent who was presenting on his new book “Truth Overruled” at FRC’s office.

"A proposal," Fagan said, "something along this line, that we in the pro-family movement start using related terms, but keep ‘marriage’ for what it always was. So we might call — and this is to be worked out — but something like, if you're talking about gay marriage you call it ‘garriage.’ If it’s lesbian, you call it 'larriage.' If you want a generic homosexual marriage it’s ‘harriage.’ But getting these words into use I think is key. And that will take time, but whomever holds the language ultimately holds the whole game.”

Good Gawd.

I wish I thought of that first to go along with gake. The fact that he is serious only makes it even funnier. What a tool.

Just watched that vid (I posted above) again.....

So ----- following that logic, it seems to be, we should change "marriage" to....

MWARRIAGE? MFARRIAGE? HETEROMARRIAGE?
(pronounced hetter-ah-mear-aghe?)

Hell I don't know.

"Spouse" works just fine. For me, anyway.

i use to be able to quote the entire poison scene. love that movie.
even painted "wesley" and called it "as you wish" . this is actually its original size. i realized afterwards i should've painted it much bigger.

yeah it's a painting of galadriel that i added a floral headdress to, then stuck it in a paintshop filter to give it that watercolory effect. i actually did a step by step of how i painted wesley, complete with a new .jpg every time i made a change to it, on my website, it was several pages long because i had the hardest time getting his eyes right. he has much better eyes than i managed to paint there.

a reply to: undo

eyes are the hardest thing of all...next to the mouth. For me.


ANyhoo....
looks like Kim's thunder has sort of rolled away.....for today, anyway?

a reply to: AugustusMasonicus

aww thanks. i have one of captain jack, too. his was not quite as good. but it looks more like an oil painting. it was the only way i could get the gritty piratey feel on his clothes and stuff. the "digital paint" had to look rough and bumpy even if it is flat as a pancake.

Not to take this too far off topic but you both would probably enjoy Cary's book As You Wish which is a chronicle of how he landed the role and the filming of the movie. Turns out he was a huge fan of the book (like us) and still thinks of this role as his favorite in his career.

a reply to: AugustusMasonicus

sounds interesting.

we could feasibly end up with pawnage if pawn shop owner get married.
lawnage = lawnmower shopkeeper marriage?
um, it's so silly it's fun.

anyway.

Did you guys watch the video of the FRC guy? It's only about a minute long....

Yeah, it's right above....right after your Princess Bride vid......

my thoughts:

but the state doesn't actually perform a marriage. it just provides financial documentation for the business partnership

That was insane! He struggled to find words to define their cause. "...we, in the (long pause) pro-family movement..."

Their movement is actually an anti-gay movement, but they don't CALL themselves that! They use the politically correct term, "pro-family" to convince us all that gay people are anti-family. These geezers crack me UP!

The other notable pause was in the last thing he said. "Getting these words into use, I think is key... because" and then he stops and starts another sentence before telling us WHY getting these words into use is so key? Key to what? And because why? I'll tell you what I think.

Getting these words into use and having the public adopt them would reserve the word marriage for religion and we could try Separate but Equal all over again.

And, "whoever holds the language, holds the whole game." Hmmm. Seems this dude wants religious folks to have all the power. He goes on to say that to concede the word is to concede the whole (game?) playing field. To him, this is a game. Between the religious (specifically Christians), and the gays.

If you scratch that 'speech' just a little bit, you can hear the quest for power and control in almost everything he says.

Creepy as hell.

Yes, the state does, when the couple requests a civil ceremony officiated by a Justice of the Peace.

In fact, no "religious" marriage is required. As long as the officiant is licensed to do the marriage.
Boat captains,
JPs,
etc....



Who can Perform Marriage?

Non-religious ceremonies -- called civil ceremonies -- must be performed by a judge, justice of the peace, or court clerk who has legal authority to perform marriages, or by a person given temporary authority by a judge or court clerk to conduct a marriage ceremony.

a reply to: Benevolent Heretic

problem is, the document you get from the state really isn't a marriage anything. the state can't do anything regarding marriage other than provide financial partnership documents (including attachments such as last will, and i forget the name of the one where if you are critically wounded and cant speak for yourself, your partner can....oh general power of attorney type stuff). so i think the guy is beating a dead horse anyway, as marriage doesn't need government to qualify it. it only needs government to protect business partners from each other

originally the state got involved because when husbands died, their estates were confiscated by the church leaving the wife destitute.
