Thank you President Obama for making history tonight

?"I have to tell you that over the course of several years as I have talked to friends and family and neighbors when I think about members of my own staff who are in incredibly committed monogamous relationships, same-sex relationships, who are raising kids together, when I think about those soldiers or airmen or marines or sailors who are out there fighting on my behalf and yet feel constrained, even now that Don't Ask Don't Tell is gone, because they are not able to commit themselves in a marriage, at a certain point I’ve just concluded that for me personally it is important for me to go ahead and affirm that I think same sex couples should be able to get married" - President Barack Obama







Sorry, but please indulge me a little. This is a very emotional night for me.

Tonight President Obama became the first sitting President in American history to say that gay people and their families should be treated as equals in this country.

It cannot be stressed enough how monumental this is to gay people and their families.

Every modern President has advocated that gays be treated as equals. Obama's decided that they need to be more than equal.

The fact that this is even an issue that anyone has any emotional investment in whatsoever, on either side, is bat shite insane.

I haven't loved a President this much since Bill Clinton.

Too bad he's likely always felt this way, but believed it unimportant and subordinate to his own interests.

You were but a pawn as he reduced you and your perversion to a box on a check off list that might or might not have gotten checked off based on the capricious winds of the election season.

So empty a "victory" it's embarrassing when you think about it.

So a comment by the President stating he personally supports gay marriage, but still maintaining it's a state issue and refusing to take any substantive federal action on such constitutes a monumental moment? Forgive me for failing to see the incredible significance of the moment.

Right. If the election wasn't already in the bag he wouldn't be doing this.

Yep, gays getting used again, and they are eating it up, crying and shite. They can't be this dumb,right? Oh, Obama 2008, nevermind.

You are celebrating two (or more) men together defined as marriage all because you hate women and do not want to love them? Bigots segregate themselves with others just like them. You only want to be with someone who is like you - another man.
