Thanks @TrippyJing for this awesome image.


First Joe Biden supports it, now the President.
Is it a purely political move? Do they believe it?
Should they believe it?


Also, I will be answering all of your gay questions you have always wanted to ask!
By all I mean some.

    Man I saw that Obama thing today and my heart just soared. Politically motivated or not, I really don't care anymore, I'm just so happy to see official political support. Fuck anyone that would oppress another group of people for reasons of gender race religion sexual orientation country of origin favourite soda or console of choice. After that North Carolina vote I was starting to doubt I lived in 2012. So happy.

    That IS the question.
    Hopefully people will rally for it, if they believe in the message.
    I'm sure the GOP will use it to rally their fanatics, but they do that anyway, so I don't think this will help them too much.
    How do you deal with getting poop on your thingy?

    Soap and water, I suppose?

    Honestly, I am proud to have voted for Obama. This is one of the major reasons why.

    Also, I hate people who start sentences with honestly. It makes me distrust them, like anything not prefixed with honestly is like a 50/50 gamble.

    I had some fights with my family which are only semi-resolved. The last time I argued about wanting to bring someone home for Christmas, I was told I couldn't.
    That was probably around 2005, so I don't think I'd get the same response now. But since I'm single and all I can do is CRYYYYYYYYY ---- thank you for the question, we'll be right back after this commercial break.

    Man I really love that. The whole "its not about granting rights to others, its about ME and the war against MY BELIEFS"

    As if the next step after allowing same sex marriage is outlawing what they call "traditional" marriage.

    Although it isn't something I've actually mentioned here and I think maybe only 1-2 people here know, but I worked for a company in Seattle and WAS harassed for being gay.
    The guy ended up being fired for it, but apparently it had been going on for years to others there.
    They ended up acting on it because I was new and since I was contracting and they were afraid I'd mention it to my company and they would sue the place I was working.
    Sad that happened in a place as progressive as Seattle, but bigots do exist. Everywhere.

    I agree. I know some people are less happy about it, but I think it's a great thing.
    It is a lot harder to say "Well X doesn't support it" when the President and Vice-President come out in support.
    TBH I think Obama has always supported it, but I fully understand why he would wait to already be in office before coming out in support of it.

    Phh, you've seen my credentials, just not my assets ;p
    Hey, you gotta show allllll the credentials to join the team.
    We're cautious. :3

    Who cares if this was Obama politicking

    The President of the United States, for the first time on this issue, has gone with the correct side of history, because really in fifty years it's going to be a "yes of course gay marriage is fine what's wrong with you" from every single politician.

    I mean 40% of the people in the south will still think it should be illegal but who cares about them

    Yeah, he really won't though.

    The President of the United States, for the first time on this issue, has sided with the correct side of history. Whether he really believes it or not is as relevant as if Lincoln really cared for black people or not.

    I agree!

    Eh, define "given you crap"? Most of my friends are either not overtly religious, or they don't throw it in my face, so it isn't an issue.
    Of the people I grew up with in rural south carolina, only 1-2 gave me crap. And it wasn't "YOU HATE GAYS" or anything, it was one saying I was doing it for attention (lol) and the other just stopped talking to me.

    It depends! Some boners are less bonerrific than others. But overall I'd give boners on average at least 6 out of 10 boners!
