Gay Marriage to Alfred: Your Thoughts

so apparently Bamster is going to update ABC News on his evolution this week. It's been a long hard struggle I'm sure.

and hey, my Junk folder just got an email from Sen Gillibrand:

"In an interview with Robin Roberts this afternoon, President Obama publicly announced his support for marriage equality."

Al, as Birdie said to Margo: "Someday is tonight."

Whatever. It took him long enough, but it's finally happened. Get all the damn cards on the table already.

and every night is a good night to hit up gay donors for that individual maximum $35,800.

^^^

For that, I expect Obama himself to marry me.

this is a very cynical election year ploy to shore up his credentials with younger voters - the GOP has no option but to look bad by comparison, Obama gets to look like the reasonable adult in the room etc.

Yeah, that a real shame. SMFH over that.

it's not a shame, it just is what it is

Which is coincidentally what it also is that Romney is shoring up his anti-even-civil-unions rep today.

they both know their brands. I guarantee you the PowerPoint summary on whether O should do this was quite dispassionate.

you've read it?

I kid. It said, "Mr President, in your downtime from accidentally killing women and children with drones, do the right thing."

More passionate than most marriages, I'm sure.

I imagine Obama wants to seduce a 2nd term more than most husbands/wives want to touch their spouse.

Dennis Prager (as usual) makes a good point about gay people. The Left tries to insinuate that being opposed to same-sex marriage amounts to anti-gay bigotry. We know that isn’t the case. It’s also important to remember that not all gay people support the Left’s agenda. And so, a true story. My husband ran into a gay friend he hadn’t seen in a number of years. They got together for lunch, and when the subject turned to the friend’s long-time partner, Bob asked whether they planned to take advantage of the District of Columbia’s law permitting same-sex marriage. The friend shook his head no. Why? “I guess I’m a traditionalist about these things.”

here's the production btw:

future gay friend of Mona: table is the table

Pretty sure traditionalism isn't his motive.

It's mine! Queers need to remain polyamorous and disreputable.

Wow

I appreciate the gentleman's personal choice, Mona - many of my gay friends have made it but I still don't see why anyone would want to deny another gay couple the chance to have their union recognized by the State if that's their choice.

OK, I misinterpreted. I thought "traditionalism" in Mona's friend's eyes meant "marriage should remain an institution raising heterosexuals above me/us."

But if you mean traditionalism in the sense that homosexuality should still remain something that would raise parents' concern should they start to suspect their children are gay, then that makes sense.

"Obama says obesity bigger threat than al Qaeda"

I think the Fox headline is as valid as any stupid headline but at least he's flip-flopped in the right direction.

YouTube drops Upton string bikini ban

"Obama says obesity bigger threat than al Qaeda"

and car accidents. True fact. Let's all freak out about why fat ppl in cars hate our freedoms.

YouTube drops Upton string bikini ban

Would watch

whoa wait a minute, that headline changed

this is what it was:

If I clicked on Fox News headlines I'd opt for the one that factors "primordial ooze" into this issue, but then in a month I'd be reading The Corner, and have to be killed.

war on marriage: the secret of the ooze

Have any of you seen the Adam and Eve marriage photos?

*Shocking*

Fox is 'news' for ppl who played too much football in hs/college

Football or soccer? College or university?

to use the LBJ line about Jerry Ford, "without a helmet"

this is a very cynical election year ploy to shore up his credentials with younger voters - the GOP has no option but to look bad by comparison, Obama gets to look like the reasonable adult in the room etc.

so are you saying that a politician had political motives for doing something?

What is going to be the gay equivalent of the shotgun wedding?

yeah TOTALLY come over and join us on ILNFL it's basically a klan meeting with funny pictures of eli manning

totally psyched for the war on marriage, you guys

man the torpedoes

full w33d ahead

Marriage army general Dan Savage:

"But the president also supports the 'concept' of states 'deciding the issue on their own.' (States like, say, North Carolina, which yesterday banned any recognition of same-sex relationships in reality, not in concept.) So the president supports same-sex marriage while also supporting the right of states to ban the same-sex marriages that he supports. Which means, of course, that once the dust settles... everyone is going to be upset, supporters of marriage equality and opponents alike.

"...Forgive me for being Debbie Downer about this. But if a politician came out for legal interracial marriage and then said in the very next breath that he also supported the right of states to ban interracial marriage, well, I can't imagine that supporters of legal interracial marriage would let pass without comment."

I played some football in middle school. I think your use of funny may be superfluous, though.

gonna crash a church wedding and pants the groom during vows

When people admit they're being Debbie Downer and ask for forgiveness, it's an even bigger Debbie Downer than whatever Debbie Downerism made them feel like Debbie Downer in the first place.
