Stephen Colbert declared on Wednesday’s “The Colbert Report” that this particular “hump day” was a “dark, dark day for cultural conservatives.”

“God decreed in the Bible that hump day is between one man and one woman,” Colbert said. “Now it’s anything goes.”

Colbert lamented that the Supreme Court decided not to hear the seven same-sex marriage cases before it, which means that now more than half of all Americans live in a state where same-sex marriage is legal.

“I feel like the last man on Earth who opposes man-man marriage,” Colbert said. “Besides the sanctity of traditional marriage is not some fad. You can’t pray away your gay. Well, you can’t gay away my pray. For Christians like me this is a civil rights issue in that I don’t like gay people are getting civil rights.”

Colbert predicted that “these gay marriage cases will inevitably lead to a civil war” and then announced his aptly titled upcoming documentary: “The Gay Civil War.”
