Great satire from my man Stephen Colbert on DC gay marraige and the church, and he asks the question "How is the governor of Rhode Island supposed to rest in peace knowing that a couple of plots over two dudes are being gay dead?"  -Enjoy

Wow that was a really good one. How sad for that guy. I just lost someone close to me too and I can not imagine how horrible it would be to lose someone and then be denied access to their remains, etc. Here is soe more about the actual story, from Rhode Island Governor Carcieri (R):


In his veto message, Republican Carcieri said: "This bill represents a disturbing trend over the past few years of the incremental erosion of the principles surrounding traditional marriage, which is not the preferred way to approach this issue.

"If the General Assembly believes it would like to address the issue of domestic partnerships, it should place the issue on the ballot and let the people of the state of Rhode Island decide.''

The bill, also sponsored by state Sen. Rhoda Perry and state Rep. David Segal, would add "domestic partners'' to the list, in current law, of people who can legally make arrangements for a deceased person's funeral, cremation or burial.

I like the way Colbert ended as well.... here in America we want gay's to die just as we want them to live: invisibly.

 Yes, the way he ended that segment was brilliant.
