I’m gay. I support equal rights. That said, could the site please, please, please find another stock photo to use on these threads?

Yeah, that photo’s pretty tired. But OTOH, ain’t it grand that these articles have become so commonplace that its lazy and habitual use has become annoying?

Not to mention that there are barely any comments on the matter during the weekend. : )

More amazing is the fact that threads on other sites used to have thousands of comments by the right, denouncing equality. Those threads do well now to have 300-400 posts. All but the hardcore homophobes have given up.

I will never forget the moment when Bill Bennett said on Jon Stewart’s “Daily Show” on June 6, 2006, that marriage equality was coming and that the battle was basically over. Not that he liked it, oh, of course not. But he was way more prescient than I was at that time. Or just about anyone else.

Can one give kudos to a repugnant reactionary homophobe for seeing the writing on the wall long before most people who wished for a writing to be there?

Wonder which will come first, individual recognition in 50 states via Federal Appeals courts striking down state bans, or a “full faith a credit case” to compel al states to end their discriminatory laws and practices as it pertains to marriage law?

See ya Huckabee you homophobic freak and un-Christlike phony.
It makes me wonder, is there really some underlying issue besides just the marriages that the, hate and hurt everybody, Republicans are also working against? That Social Security mention got my antenna up.

On second thought, if there is an outside chance that Gay marriages are going to benefit the common folk in the slightest, then we can be for damn sure that the Repubs have already been scheming to prevent it in the name of defending “'traditional marriage”
The frickin’ Repubs don’t help anyone but they are highly efficient at hurting everyone.
