Same-sex marriage cartoon roundup, take 2
Things are really starting to heat up...

Back when the Massachusetts Supreme Court made its original ruling, I put together roundup number one. Now that the culture wars are heating up again, with the anti-gay rightwingers out in full force having fits over same-sex marriage, it's time for roundup two.

So, on the side of good:

Cartoons that recall a different marriage controversy: Mike Thompson. In other words: years from now, history is not going to look kindly on same-sex marriage opponents.

Cartoons that predict Bush's next preemptive strike: Rob Rogers has a good one. Joe Heller has one too, but I'm puzzled by the presence of Uncle Sam rather than George W. Scott Bateman has a great one that I already linked to, but why not read it again?

Cartoons puzzled by the whole "marriage defense" crowd: Ben Sargent and yours truly.

Cartoons that go heavy on the Massachusetts metaphors: Steve Benson and Bob Englehart.

And more: Tony Auth, Tom Toles, and Ward Sutton, and Dan Wasserman.

And on the other side:

Cartoons featuring gay stereotypes, flowers, and/or shotguns: John Cole.

Cartoons warning us that SAME-SEX MARRIAGE WILL DOOM THE HUMAN RACE TO EXTINCTION: OK, so Chuck Asay is actually arguing that same-sex attraction is "unnatural", but same difference.

And cartoons not quite on either side:

Cartoons that I THINK are against same-sex marriage, but I can't tell for sure: Wayne Stayskal and Chan Lowe.

Cartoons that I THINK are for, but who knows? Bill DeOre.

Cartoons about the Democratic candidates and same-sex marriage: Gary Markstein and Doug Marlette. And here's one by Dick Wright, though it probably belongs more in the "against gay marriage" category, as Mr. Wright believes in sodomy laws.

And on a totally different side: When Janet Jackson breast metaphors go too far.
