All I can do is shake my head at this level of ignorance. Bestiality, sadomasochism and fisting? Really? Is that what comes to their wee minds at the very thought of gay marriage? But of course they have friends who are gay and they love everyone!
I know we're supposed to educate folks but to be honest, I wouldn't waste a single exhale on ignorant bigots such as these, nor the woman who thinks gay marriage will lead to the extinction of the human race because there won't be any more reproduction.
One bright note -- at the end of the article, check out the comments by the 12 year old girl who was dragged to the rally by her grandfather. Priceless!
"Do You Know What Fisting Is?" And Other Questions Raised At Premier Anti-Gay Rally
Posted: 06/20/2014
(excerpt)
Two women from Virginia who came together on a bus organized by their Catholic church said they were opposed to same-sex marriage -- "holy matrimony is the cornerstone of our country" -- but that civil unions for same-sex couples might be OK.
One of the women, Katie Donoghue -- who asked to be identified by her middle name because she had taken off work to attend the rally -- paused and shook her head. "I'm fearful of these incremental steps," she said. "They're teaching young children about bestiality now."
"And they're teaching them about sadomasochism," Andrea DelVecchio, her friend, added.
"And fisting!" Donoghue said. "Do you know what fisting is?"

These women have been listening to too much Xtian and RW radio and watching too much Pat Robertson and Fake News.
But these are new accusations. Teaching children about bestiality, sadomasochism and fisting.
Let me picture this......book title is Dick and Bob
Chapter 1 - Bestiality
See Dick get his dick licked by Fido the dog while Bob masturbates in the corner.
Chapter 2 - Sadomasochism
See Bob tie Dick up with chains, place him in a sling and repeatedly penetrate him while beating him with a horse whip
Chapter 3 - Fisting
See Dick shove his fist up Bob's ass.
Seriously where do these people come from? I think when they are so worried about these activities they have more experience with these than the average person.

(15,798 posts)I consider myself to be pretty darned "librul", but I'd never heard of fisting. And in my 66 years I've engaged in some very wide-ranging conversations. So I googled it.
Well. Now that that's done I've gotta wonder -- if a so-called evil liberal like me doesn't know what that is, where in the heck do these ultra-righteous types get their info? Where do they hang out? And with whom?
Mercy me, now I feel cloistered!

Interestingly George Will wrote a similar column about "fisting" some years ago. That might have been when I first heard of such.
