Dipwad of the year award

Apropos of nothing significant in the world except to make the banal observation of the general confluence of bigotry and mind-numbing stupidity, we bring you the case of Stephen Dunne of Boston, Massachusetts, who is suing the Massachusetts Board of Bar Examiners and the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court for $9.75 million in damages. Y'see, he

claims he failed the Massachusetts bar exam because he refused to answer a question about gay marriage ... saying the test violated his rights and that his religious beliefs were targeted.

The question, in fact, was not about same-sex marriage, it was a straightforward hypothetical involving property and family rights in a divorce. (It's question #4 at this link, in .pdf format.) But the parties involved were "Mary" and "Jane." That, Dunne says, made the question "morally repugnant and patently offensive" and showed that the Massachusetts state government is "purposely-advancing Secular Humanism's homosexual agenda." (Reminder in case anyone has forgotten: Same-sex marriage is legal in Massachusetts.)

Comments on the article overwhelmingly agree the guy is a real doofus, with a couple of people predicting he'll get hit with sanctions for filing a patently frivolous suit. Good.
