President Obama says gay couples deserve same rights as all
(just for Grimm)
Obama says gay couples deserve same rights as all - Yahoo! News
NEW YORK – President Barack Obama praised New York state lawmakers who were debating landmark legislation Thursday to legalize gay marriage, saying that's what democracy's all about. But the president stopped short of embracing same-sex marriage himself.
"I believe that gay couples deserve the same legal rights as every other couple in this country," the president said at a fundraiser in Manhattan, his first geared specifically to the gay community. Coincidentally, the long-planned event occurred just as lawmakers in Albany were debating legislation that would make New York the sixth state to legalize gay marriage.
That served to spotlight the president's own views on same-sex marriage, a sore point with gay supporters who've otherwise warmed to him. The president has said his views are "evolving," but for now he supports civil unions, not same-sex marriage.
"Traditionally marriage has been decided by the states and right now I understand there's a little debate going on here in New York," the president said to laughter. He said New York's lawmakers are "doing exactly what democracies are supposed to do."
Debate on the measure continued into the night at the statehouse, and the outcome was uncertain.
As Obama spoke a handful of people shouted out "marriage!" And Obama said, "I heard you guys."

All of God's children are not beautiful. Most of God's children are, in fact, barely presentable.
HAHAHAHAHA YOU'RE SO FUCKING FUNNY"Traditionally marriage has been decided by the states and right now I understand there's a little debate going on here in New York," the president said to laughter.

I am from the American CIA and I have a radio in my head. I am going to kill you.

It's bullshit. My friend has to go to New Zealand to get married meaning most of his friends and family won't be able to be there. Yeah he will have a fake ceremony in Australia for those who can't be there but it's not the same thing. Time for the world to wake up.
Alicia Silverstone: "I think that the film Clueless was very deep. I think it was deep in the way that it was very light. I think lightness has to come from a very deep place if it's true lightness."
Yeah, it's obvious someone is gearing up for re-election. A bunch of rhetoric designed to garner votes. Pathetic.Originally Posted by Grimmlok

You have states like Alabama and Sputh Carolina that are blatantly violating the Fourteenth Amendment of the US Constitution, but no, their reasoning is somehow justifiable because they are exercising their state rights.
Marriage isn't a religious institution anymore. Just like the rest of the world, it has become secularized at least in Western society.
Obama is so full of shit. All he does is talk the talk, but not walk the walk.
Remember all the shit that dumb twat beauty queen got piled on her for having the same view as Obama on gay marriage?

"I believe that gay couples deserve the same legal rights as every other couple in this country"
ITA Way past time for them to have the same rights as everyone else!
I can never reconcile the fact that a man whose own parents marriage was illegal in many places when he was born would not support same sex marriage.
