Time To Boycott Maine Lobster- After All, God Says Consuming It Is An Abomination
11/04/09-by Bridgette P. LaVictoire

If Maine wants to abide by God’s Law, then it is time that they abide by God’s Law. The Bible is clear- shellfish is an abomination. It is not to be eaten. It is time that the LGBT community and their allies help ensure that the people of Maine are not breaking God’s Law and helping to ensure that a group of people do not sully their souls by catching those crustaceans known as lobsters and it is time to put them off or menus. If the Catholic Church and the National Organization for Marriage can buy out the Maine vote, then it is time that we stop buying Maine’s lobsters. Obviously, the citizens of Maine have another product that they can sell, so they do not need for people to buy their lobsters.

Leviticus is clear. Lobster, as a shellfish, is on the list of unclean and forbidden animals to be eaten. Lobsters have neither fins nor scales and are not considered to be clean.

It is the duty of the LGBT Community to ensure that those who seek to inhabit the shadows and hide their beliefs behind a veil of secrecy share in the cleansing of a group of people who put their souls at risk to harvest unclean animals for the consumption of others.

The time has come to not buy Maine lobster. After all, it is God’s Law that it not be consumed.

Don't boycott the organic farmers tho'

[Ian David]

3. I'm going to stop buying puffins. n/t

[ehrnst]

5. LL Bean...which I love, unfortunately...

My Mom and her husband live there and were on the phone all last week urging progressives to get out and vote to defend marriage equality, but this will not stop me from boycotting Maine products.

6. Check first to see if they donated to No On One? n/t

[NoSheep]

8. How would I learn that? I'd love to know.

[NoSheep]

12. I think I found it!

[Ian David]

13. Careful. I clicked on a facebook page with a malicious script looking for it. n/t

[NoSheep]

17. I just found this:

19. Good news is, I don't see L.L. Bean on the anti-gay list

Why would some waiter from Restaurant Europa in Ohio donate money to bash gay people in Maine?

[NoSheep]

25. Some people can't get enough of ruining other people's lives.

[Berry Cool]

2. Right on!

It's South African lobster for me. After all, they eventually saw the light.

4. Technically lobsters are crustaceans

Shellfish are mollusks.
But they both are not kosher.

[theHandpuppet]

7. Especially don't buy on the Sabbath from a woman who is menstruating

God really hates that. :D

[Bluenorthwest]

9. Maine is in the abomination business and that is a threat to us

all. They must be forced to stop this evil at once!

[TokenQueer]

20. And we are heading into the busy abomination season!

Touching the skin of a dead pig...see ya in Hell NFL.

Clothing made from blends...see ya in Hell x-mas sweater ladies.

Leviticus for everyone!

[safeinOhio]

23. While we are at it

eagles and osprey are an abomination also. Let's push the turkey as our national bird. The least a "Christian Nation" could do.

[Toasterlad]

10. I Think It Would Be Best To Target the Businesses That Funded the Yes On 1 Campaign.

It sure pissed off the California bigots when we did that.

Let's see the names.

[theHandpuppet]

11. Don't forget the church-affiliated donors

Let's see their names also.

[eShirl]

14. yeah! make it so the young voters have to move out of the state to find a job!

that'll work!

:sarcasm:

[MountainLaurel]

21. They already do

Particularly the college-educated, progressive ones who would have been more likely to vote no on 1.

[eShirl]

22. not all of them (yet)

[rtassi]

15. Before you continue to espouse something as ignorant as that ...

You might consider that NORTH HAVEN just to name one ... an Island community on the mid coast ... predominantly lobster man and families, resoundingly supported you ... So go ahead kick them in the teeth ... That will show em. You are never going to win this by pissing on the people who are trying to help you, who's only stake in this is buy the way, is the Ideal of equal rights for all Americans. And you might also consider that even the defeat of question 1 was not going to fix that! Commit yourself fully to equal rights for all people and we all win, everything else is just bullshit! 48% of us in Maine who voted, supported you ... I can't speak for the rest of them, but I would prefer you say Thank You! Oh, and one other thing ... When you quote the bible, in an effort to harm and punish, as you have ... you sound as unsophisticated in your thought as they do ...

[Toasterlad]

16. You Might Want To Let People Vent Awhile Before Dropping By With Your Self-Righteous Bile

"I would prefer you say Thank You!"

You are what the French call an insensitive asshole.

[GodlessBiker]

18. +1

[rtassi]

24. I guess that means we won't be pals then?

[Toasterlad]

28. You Guess Correctly.

My pals are an empathetic bunch, who don't enjoy kicking people when they're down.

[Ian David]

26. They can paint little rainbow flags on their lobsters so we know we can buy them. n/t

[Ian David]

27. Like I give a shit what you have to say right now. n/t

[NMMNG]

29. No problem

Considering I'm a vegetarian, and I never liked lobster to begin with.
