  1. It’s funny how Obama has always been against gay marriage until about 6 months ago.

  2. He wasn’t against it. He would just give no opinion. And idgaf, it’s something that is very important. It is a human rights issue.

  3. actually, Obama haas been for gay marriage as far back as 1996. it was just more politically convenient for him to be against it when running for president. http://www.lgbtqnation.com/2011/01/obamas-flip-flop-on-gay-marriage-what-changed-between-1996-and-2011/

  4. we can fight for our country now, but we can’t speak out against our government, or protest peacefully.

  6. This was a great video clip. I am so glad they made it. Very moving, so wonderful. I would vote obama just for the rights he wants to extend to all americans, not just the ones who fit into his narrow gender and religious roles.

  8. Work needs to be done in Florida… this is one of the biggest lgbt blocks in a swing state. And historically our weakest link. If you know any lgbt folks there, you must get in touch.

  9. The woman shall not wear that which pertaineth unto a man, neither shall a man put on a woman’s garment: for all that do so are abomination unto the LORD thy God.
    -Deuteronomy 22:5

    Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination.
    -Leviticus 18:22

    Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor EFFEMINATE, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,
    -1 Corinthians 6:9

    None of that fruity stuff is entering into the kingdom. If the Father made you a man then he expects you to act like a man. Now don’t tell me this is “religious” or “hating on specific people.” This is simply a MORAL teaching. I don’t follow any organized religion. I simply try my best to follow the LAWS of the Bible, which are PERFECT and JUST.

  10. The kingdom does not exist. The bible is an organized religion. If those laws are (just) then go throw some stone’s at people and end up in prison. You need to re check your (morals)
