Thanks a lot Carrie Prejean. You’ve spent the last month blathering on about gay marriage and look at the consequences.
The main consequence is that we’ve been forced to remember that Cynthia Nixon exists. Cynthia Nixon, the ginger one off Sex And The City famous for being a) a lesbian and b) not even in anybody’s list of top five Sex And The City characters, has got engaged to her girlfriend.
See? Even Sex And The City stars can have same-sex marriages. Except Sarah Jessica Parker – it’s so hard to find a mutant horse/woman hybrid who isn’t married these days.
Despite all this hoo-hah about Miss California, the truth is that gay marriage is progress. Just look at Cynthia Nixon from Sex And The City. If she’d been born a few centuries ago, her desire to get married to a woman would have seen her burnt at the stake as a ginger, not especially popular witch.
But now? Now Cynthia Nixon has announced her engagement to longtime girlfriend Christine Marinoni and nobody bats an eyelid. Like we said, it’s progress in action – even ginger lesbians get to experience the long, flat, joyless, gnawing, sex-free trudge to the blissful freedom of death that is marriage. One day, in around 20 years’ time, Cynthia Nixon is going to be sitting in her lounge in silence, thinking genuinely murderous thoughts about her wife because she sometimes picks her ear and wipes it on her trousers, and she’ll thank the gay rights movement, we tell you.
But we’re getting ahead of ourselves. Cynthia Nixon, the only lesbian in the principle Sex And The City cast – all the others appear to be pre-op transgender males, by the way – is getting engaged to Christine Marinoni and that is that. MSNBC reports:
Cynthia Nixon announced her engagement to girlfriend Christine Marinoni on Sunday at a rally for gay marriage, a source on the scene told Access Hollywood. According to the source, the ?Sex and The City? star told the crowd at the Love, Peace and Marriage Equality rally in New York City that she became engaged last month.
This is a groundbreaking announcement for two reasons, really. Firstly, this is the first time that Cynthia Nixon has announced her engagement to a person who she won’t eventually come to resent because they’ve got a penis, and secondly this is bound to be the precursor to the only lesbian honeymoon sextape in history that nobody would ever watch, not even if you paid them and held their immediate family at gunpoint. So, you know, congratulations for that.
But how will Cynthia Nixon’s engagement affect the production of Sex And The City 2? If the answer to that question is anything other than ‘it has caused the production of Sex And The City 2 to be postponed indefinitely’ then the true answer is ‘not nearly enough’.

One less thing for Stuart to masturbate to. Life is harsh.

NO VALUES, NO MORALS
Homosexuality is abnormal. The human body is not anatomically or physiologically designed to have sex with the same sex. Anal sex is disgusting if you really think about what it involves!

It is hard to take someone like Carrie Prejean seriously. She bashes same sex marriages, but then goes on and on about how she is a Christian. Well, if God made everyone, including the gay people who want to get married, and God does not want them to live together in marriage, he sure made a sick joke. Personally, I do not think God would do that. Many people and even wild animals are naturally homosexual. To Christians, that would mean that God made them like that. Carrie speaks that our law should be determined by her religous (Christain) beliefs. We cannot base our laws on everyones’ religions. Her religion cannot dictate how our constitution is interpreted or amended. I think it is a bit arrogant of Carrie to feel her thoughs should change the very heart and soul of being an American.

But absolutely fabulous when you know how good it feels, Mr Right-Wing McBoringson.
Yee-haw!
