    it's a great step in the right direction.

    I just find it hard to believe that in this day and age, in this country, that we don't have this equality yet. I believe that whatever my sexual orientation, I should be able to partner with whoever I want, it's just common sense.

    I like the people saying that allowing Gay Marriage will destroy the country.
    Just because the Defense of Marriage Act was struck down... it doesn't mean you will HAVE to marry a Gay person. You can still legally marry whomever you want... the difference here is... so can everyone else.
    ...
    Also, you can STILL hate Gay people. That is your choosing... that one is your call.

    Nine years since gay marriage became legal here in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and life has gone on unimpeded.

    Would we be Pegasus rainbow striped unicorns, or no? Because if no, then maybe I support DOMA and prop 8 after all. :think:

    it was removed a short time later and replaced with an apology message that tried to remind people that the focus should be on chicken instead....

    :fp:




    "yes, nevermind our blatant, open bigotry and hatred towards the gays...always remember that we make chicken that is always fried, juicy, and delicious!!"

    I always just think to myself, "have fun being on the wrong side of history." And then I feel better. I especially like it when they publish shit so that people can see where they stood for all time.
