D.C. Council approves marriage recognition bill

[atlmagik]

The guys at the end who were yelling and being hatefull kind of reminded me of Eddie Long...and now look what alligations have been made against him...makes you wonder donesnt it?

[PoliticalJunkie2036]

Clearly Marion Barry was playing the odds. The man was an activist and as Mayor (elected at large) he could be more liberal. Now that he is merely a councilman and must answer to a smaller constituency (Ward 8) he must play to their wishes and prejudices. He was polite in his rejection of equality, but he was wrong. I think its clear on his face that maybe even he was uncomfortable with voting no.

[esquireyes]

Catina, you're Full of Sh*t!!!! No Logic, whatsoever. If I use your logic then that means that the rich folks should let us share in their wealth. Bull!

[esquireyes]

Thank you Marion Barry!!!! Great Job!!!

[jerrydoubleu]

You witness the hatred with the black guy yelling at the end.

[ugboy1]

Those are some crazy black bigots!!!! (if they were white I would have called them red necks)

[atheistforchange]

if it had been a proposal to allow politicians to use crack during office hours he would have approved that.

IF any of you get aPERSONAL RELATIONSHIP WITH JESUS CHRIST YOU RE EYES AND EARS WILL BE OPEN ! ! !

[ruckiss77]

My relationship with Christ is exactly what u say it is...PERSONAL. Allow God to deal with people and their choices and leave them alone.

[jerrydoubleu]

religion is stupid.

[arethafanatic]

Thank you Marion Barry? That is a joke right? Were you speaking about a different Marion Barry or the crack smoking hypocrite that those of us in DC know so well? You may want to hold your thanks because believe me Gods word didn't reach Marion Barry's ear last year when he supported the same measure that low and behold he decided at the last minute to change. Sounds more to me like a man with no principle and more like a man that is a opportunist that wants to keep his council seat.

[latlanticcityphil]

One thing i love about JESUS CHRIST, and GODS WORD is  that all GOD need is one who is willing to stand for Righteousness and holyness .Thanks Marion Berry .GAY Marriage is a SIN (LASCIVIOUSNESS) ROMANS-1: 20 -25

[drawnhere]

The systemic problem with people like you who spout "god's word" is that those words always get filtered through YOUR religion's own convenient interpretation. You pick and choose what you feel strengthens your own case. Every religion believes THEY have the understanding of their "god's word." And then when questioned, they cover their asses by an appeal to authority, by saying that their ideas came from god, not from them.

Grow the hell up. Fairy tales are for children.

[ruckiss77]

so is smoking crack and adultry

[latlanticcityphil]

Any man or woman can change , and turn thier life around ! I did I ues too smoke crack 4 21years and was doing many abonable things that i am not proud of doing .YES even homosexuality . I knew something was wrong with in my heart and spirit . AT the age of 18 i was not happy and i did not love my self . One day I said to JESUS CHRIST if you real please come in to my life I WANT TO KNOW YOU WHO YOU REALLY ARE ....

[arethafanatic]

No wonder more and more people are turning into atheists, with jackasses like this at the end spewing their vitriol in the name of the God they say is about love.

[Kings2beat]

You are absolutely correct! This foolishness is the exact reason I don't care for man structured religious institutions! More and more people who believe in God are seeing just how bigoted the church is and we're separating ourselves. Give me God, f**k religion!

[doncorleon818]

Fuck those bastards at the end of the video. Black christians are the most retarded. Lets adopt the religion of the people that enslaved us. Talk about selling out. They should be ashamed of themselves. NOW they go around preaching words from a fairy tale book about god hating gays. How soon they forget that this country used to tell them that they were not allowed to marry their fellow slaves, then they were told they were not allowed to marry whites. PATHETIC!

[kalifani]

Check yourself DUDE! As far as being angry at those who think human rights only apply to hetero-sexuals I agree w/ u , but it makes no damn sense to let your 'INNER RACIST' fly free in response.

GAYS CAN BE JUST AS RACIALLY BIGOTED AS BLACKS CAN BE HOMOPHOBIC .

LOOKS TO ME LIKE THE SAME THING....real productive solution on your part 'bruh'.You just alienated the whole black community, a huge part of which support gay marriage.Ur just another closet racist that just happens to be queer.

[doncorleon818]

Dude? Inner racist? WTF are you talking about? I dislike the religion those black people practice, not them. Reading is not your strong point I see. Alienate blacks? How? If they are Christian, I can care less because I do not like overtly christian people anyway. They need to look at their own history before they preach hate & blame it on a silly book full of fairy tales.

Queer? Ok, tell my wife and kids that I am gay. Sorry, I am not a closet republican. I support rights for all though.

[drawnhere]

Those jerks at the end of the video make me sick.

[jimbojim68]

Are these the same people who voted for crackhead thief Barry? Yes.

[doncorleon818]

agreed.

[kz10863]

LOL CRAZY FUNdIES!!!!!!!!!

[WellConditioned]

Look at the crazy fundies at the end - haha!

[tjwdraws]

Apparently, to some, the civil rights movement is not big enough to include everyone. Bigotry is color blind.

[nvpublictv]

Marion, put down the crack pipe and join us in the 21st century!
