I'm late to the party, but YAY! (RL)

My president. <3 Obama supports gay marriage. Yay! New icon time!

Soon enough people will look back on this whole mess in the same way we now do the whole anti-interracial marriage battle.

So often I want to post rants. I don't understand how anyone can be against equality for everyone. I don't understand how it matters to anyone what strangers do in the bedroom. I don't understand how people who not too long ago didn't have the right to marry anyone they wanted could now work to deny others of those same rights... but I won't spam you all. You know how I feel, I'm sure. :)

I just don't get how people have forgotten or think this is somehow different. (Especially the people who were hurt by the former laws!)

I'd hope we'd all have more important things to focus on...

People don't care? That's the only thing I can picture. Also, researching an idea like this often disproves it... and they can't have that! ;) ..Okay, totally making shit up there.

There are so many things wrong with this country. Why can't we deal with some serious issues?

Yep. How about kids who go to bed hungry or graduate high school without being able to read? But nope! Instead the most important thing is who sticks which private part into which. It's embarrassing. Forget embarrassing, it's shameful.

It is shameful. :(

I did like how Obama pretty much said 'I decided to be a good Christian' in treating others well.

Yes! Agreed.
