  • Does anyone know who the pastor is that conducted the ceremony? Beautiful event.

  • I wonder what would happen if Judge Sotomayor got married to a woman in DC. Would she be allowed to get married? What would happen if a bisexual gets married in DC to someone of the same sex and then crosses the road to Virginia and gets married to someone of the opposite sex? What if the lesbian President of Iceland comes to DC would the First Lady be recognized?There are soooo many gaps that I find illogical in still not recognizing same sex marriages nationwide.

  • This is so wonderful. Allow same-sex marriage EVERYWHERE! God bless! I wish my state would allow same-sex marriage. :(

  • :) They looked so happy, that's wonderful

  • god created adam and eve...not adam and steve.

  • @VantheMadharam Try being a little bit more original, sonny. ;D

  • this made me cry like a baby !

  • You'd think gays and same-sex marriage inflicted actual damage on homophobes, the way they spout 'God says' scripture specifically cherry-picked to support their dubious gripes. Homosexuality and same-sex marriage are normal. If that upsets you, don't hide behind the Bible. Admit YOU are frightened of what you don't understand (or that you might even be gay yourself - gasp!) and then live YOUR life as you see fit without attempting to infringe on the human rights of anyone, gay or straight.

  • That was beautiful and sweet! Thanks for sharing this with us!

  • Aww, Thats so cute.

  • I have heard the most hateful things said twoard gay people and alot of those hate words come from people who believe in God. Well you know what, NO ONE I mean NO ONE has the right ot judge anyone or anything that is trying to bring in somthng pure. Since when does love and commitment violate the sangtity of marriage? It shouldn't matter who is sharing their lives together. I for one think that thier are more things people can bitch about then getting into the business of pepole who are in love.

  • im so happy the world is atleast starting to understand. i never got why same sex marriages werent alowed. like why cnt u marry the one you love? it doesnt matter what gender they are. im just happy that this is happening somewere =]

  • Happiness for the couple. May many other couple follow the example and be happy!

  • Fuck those Kansas City fagots - thank you BLAZING SADDLES best movie ever....

  • What a wonderful thing.

    Allowed to marry the person you Love, and share your lives with the same benifits as straight folks.

    I hope and pray we will have our civil rights here in Florida some day.

  • I am really sick of you bible thumpers coming on YOUTUBE and forcing you scripure onto people who are genuin that what is being shown is pure and good! It makes me sick that all of you church goers know exactly what God is thinking on this matter. Truth is that the only proof you have is the Bible who was writtne by man, who over time has twisted and reshaped the entire book into what every church SHOULD be teaching you sheep. Gay people may be gay but we are still people,made of the same flesh.

  • @luimarco AND??? What the hell does that have to do with the topic at hand, I'm also going to collage, to be nurse, I am in health care now, I've also served in the Army for 9 year, I've held just every job known to man and never been fired, so obviously when it comes to discussion, I'm not talking blinded. I pretty much know what I'm talking about because I've either been there or I've researched it. So if I'm wrong, it's not me, it the source where I get my information.

  • For you to look down on love for one another in what ever sex, makes you no follower of Jesus either.

  • It's not the 1950's anymore retard. You bigots are starting to run out of minorities to pick on and harass, guess that must be pretty scary huh? Who will you put down after gay people have equal rights? Hopefully, your kind will grow brains sooner or later and realize that your illogical hatreds are pointless. But, that's a little too much to expect from people as dull as bigots.

  • @CubanExile

    Oh noes...

  • know what else is "against god"? killing. and throughout the history of mankind more people have been killed in the name of god than for any other reason. know what else is "against god"? judging others. it's not your, or anyone elses, job to do that. because you're not god. sorry.

  • Comment removed

  • You let me know when is the last time you sat with God and he told you that this was against him, other than the bible written by men, you tell me.

  • my bible was not written by men. thank you.

  • Unless it is written in Hebrew and magicly appeared in your hand in a golden light, it was.

  • The story of Jesus was written by men, by Pagons long before they were called Christans..They are the ones who actually gave Jesuses devinaty. So yea, written by men

  • yes it was. your welcome.

  • this is great! i'm happy for them. and damn anyone who's opposed to gay marriage. 50% of straight marriages fail within the first year, so the "sanctity of marriage" argument is laughable. and to make it even more laughable, is the fact that you can go to vegas any day of the week, drunk as hell, and get married by a fat bastard dressed like elvis with a mustard stain on his shirt in less than 10 minutes.

  • @allenrw3

    Why the mustard stain? =P

  • adds to the debauchery

  • so beautiful i cried!

    if God is real, he is without a doubt happy that we are making progress as a human race!

  • if they want to have a bond that's internal and external,then who are we to tell them they can't? none of us live the life God desires of us everyday. so, what makes their sin greater? that's what's wrong with society...we are constantly getting involved with matters that have no barring in our personal lives, but for the things that hold great merit and possible destruction (voting, racism, unemployment, homelessness, the lack of proper education.)we turn our backs in the effort to ignore it.

  • WOOHOO!

    PROGRESS!!!

  • the reason it is so important to them is the same reason it is so important 2 anyone else. i find it deplorable for people 2 suggest that just b/c they're gay the don't have the same desires as heterosexuals. they build families and acquire assets just like a reg couple and shouldn't have 2 fear losing those assets during separation or death. God is the creator of all things and he is the only one who can determine the right or wrong in a person's life.

  • i thought religious people were against same sex couples. i thought they would be the ones against it (i.e. the dude marrying them)

  • Well, NEWFIRE25 ;)

    You don't really know what God thinks of airplaines......because the Bible do not mentioning them sooo. ...someone must be guessing here......;)

    Well, Have better things to do today.

    May the lord be with y'all and I'm wishing you a blessed and wonderful day ;)

  • Are you really comparing two consenting adults making a legal and religious decision with a pedophile molesting a child?

    You're pretty fucking stupid.

  • looks like theyve established who wears the pants in the relationship...

  • Marriage is a holy thing in many religions. But it is most assuredly NOT a holy thing as far as the government is concerned. You can get married tomorrow in a Church, but until you file a marriage license with the state, you are NOT married as far as they are concerned.

    If you want to limit it to a holy thing, you're saying that people that are not religious would not be able to get married, or people that don't share the same religion would not be able to get married.

  • i don't care about the government right now, marriage is between two people, you can get married without that stupid license and you are considered as married . may i ask you one question , why do people get married ? ininthaamamerican American

  • Wait, you said, "I don't care about the government right now, marriage is between two people, you can get married without that stupid license. . ."

    First, you CAN'T get married without that "stupid" license. Second, if you believe that statement, that marriage is between two people, then what's your problem with this?

  • i wonder if samuel l jackson was the priest and gave his blessing people would actually see this for what it is. two people who are happy together

  • I have three comments on this video:

    1) I don't why gays want marriage so much, nothing sacred about it seeing as most of them end in divorce. I have nothing against gays though, jut marriage in general.

    2) wtf is up with their hair?

    3) I lol'd when I realised there would be no 'You may kiss the bride'.

  • Who wrote those vows!

  • I belive in GOD and thats why I'm not trying to put myself in his chair, only GOD knows whats to be done.

    So please do not try to tell me what to do or write, I'm not listening to you anyway. I only listens to my Lord!!!!

    But please answer my question: Is christians allowed to fly, in airplaines???

    GOD didn't give us wings...so it must be a sin?? ;)

  • @fiapling This question is ridiculous. God didn't give you a big pocket on your backside so you shouldn't wear back packs either! lol... You can (1). fly in an airplane to get somewhere quicker or you can (2). take an airplane and fly it into a building... God doesn't want you doing the second one. Hope that helped

  • hehehe loooks like they've agreed on who is the wife n who is the husband...

  • Congratulations! Welcome to hell. Do you know why divorce is twice as expensive as marriage. Because it's worth it.

  • U.S. Census Bureau, highest divorce in the Bible Belt, where they exceed by 50% the national average of 4.2 per k people. The 10 Southern states w/some of the highest divorce rates were Georgia, Mississippi, Alabama, Arkansas, Oklahoma, North and South Carolina, Florida, Arizona and Texas. By comparison 9 states where allegedly amoral, faithless, Volvo-driving, Birkenstock-wearing, NY Times-reading lefties are foundthe lowest divorce rates: Conn. MA, ME, NH, NY, NJ, Pa, Vt and RI

  • well incest was only dawned upon as a bad thing a two centuries ago thanks to dawin, yes think about it your great great great grand ma did her cousin. dont deny it, the bible even says its right, he only created 2 right?

  • or airplaines, do you really mean that a good christian is allowed to fly?? But GOD didn't create us with wings, now did he.

    DO NOT JUDGE!!!

  • @fiapling God gave us intelligence and the ability to create bicycles, cars, airplanes, skateboards, roller-blades, escalators, elevators... These are all things that we should thank God for. He gave us the capacity to do amazing things.

  • Yes, God gave us the male species and the female species so..??

    What does that have to do with allowing two people who want to enter a government policy to allow their spouse to obtain legal rights they deserve as a citizen in our country?

    This IS NOT a religious matter as much as people would like to TRY and make it.

    This is about FREEDOM and you are imposing the federal agencies to take it away from a minority. How is that JUST?

  • so what your saying is that people who use drugs or who do other bad stuff should also be left alone...what i do not understand is there is a reason why this sort of a thing is prohibited because you get aids from it...but if people like to die from it its their own stupidity!

  • You only get AIDS from homosexual sex? Is that what you're saying? God, your school has failed you.

  • I have no right to Judge nor condemn

    them. I belive and trust in God and he will do whats right. By being judgemental you only become bitter. Trust in GOD...

    And drifta882 - why is it we drive around in cars, if we don't really know what God thinks of it???

  • i NEVER judged anyone.. like i sead from my LAST comment, i never dislike GAYZ. dipshit...

  • A sin is a sin. I know the Bible clearly states DO NOT JUDGE others. If they are happy, so be it.

    Your sin is no lesser in Gods eyes.

    I think what people forget is that we ALL sin everyday every minute. We were born into sin (this world) I wish the Religion Nazis would worry about themselves and quit trying to impose their beliefs on others.

    The Law CLEARLY states a seperation between Church and State, why dont we follow that?

    Live and Let Live

  • .....because that is mans law, not God's......you're just contradicted everything you just said.....plus your wrong about us Christ and God believers imposing, we're not. We're just stating what has already been written, or do you not know the difference? You really should scrap that entire comment you just made, for your own sake......please don't reply to this, you've already done enough.

  • By your logic, there should be a movement to outlaw bacon.

  • What's wrong with their hair?

  • So annoying seeing all these bible thumping brainwashed retards spewing verses like they mean something.

  • Well the bible does not say anything about homosexuals because that was not a word when Jesus was around...just like airplaines, cars ect. so it's the translating-guy who choose to use the word.

    1 Corinthians 6:9

    Or 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 men

    -please show me where in the bible it states, that women may not be together ;)

  • @fiapling God made a man and woman and told them to multiply. A man will leave his father and mother to join his wife and become one flesh. If God wanted to ordain another way, that was where he would have done it.

  • very well said .. it is in the bible..

  • Dude, you do not read the Bible, do you? Go pick up a copy, turn to Corinthians 6:9 (King James Original version, it's unaltered from the original transcripts) and READ it. The word homosexual has been around for a very long time, or were you around back then and know otherwise? Also note, anyone who alters the Bible is in serious shit when God faces them.....whatever website you pulled that from needs to fix it.

  • Tell that to the guys who wrote the King James version. Do you think the bible was written in English? It was clearly altered from its original form.

    And by the way, no, the original King James Version of the bible does not use the word "homosexual." If you see that in the bible, it is NOT the original King James Version, but another altered version. Homosexual, as a word in the English language, started being used around 1892.

  • Asexual Reproduction? O.o

  • Comment removed

  • Romans 1:26-27

  • um.. i think you should read it again...or... really read it this time. it may not say "gay" right in the bible but there are things in there that talk about why GOD made man & woman. not man and man or woman and woman..... gay people dont bother me... but some times they take things too far

  • you see two women and I just see two perso who seem very happy to be married. that's all that matter

  • People need to clam the fuck down. two chicks got married. was there mass chaos. not that i can see.

  • I don't understand this. I could never be with another woman

    But I have no right to Judge nor condemn

    them. I belive in God and he will do whats right. - Greatest of all is love!!!!!!

  • Comment removed

  • @502502 Practicing homosexuality is a sin just as stealing and idol worship are sins. A person who practices homosexuality can be forgiven just like the thief and the idolater. God requires that you repent, and put your faith in Jesus Christ.

  • Leave the fairy tales out of it.

  • Yep, as much of a sin as eating bacon.

  • and god knows i love bacon!

  • why is one dressed like a dude then ?

  • faggots!

  • this is horrible.....gays should stay out of and away from churches, that is unless they wish to be saved. Two women do not belong together and two men do not belong together, God did not mean it to be this way and evolution didn't adapt human beings to be this way.

    Good lord.....what is this country coming to......horrible, horrible sin this is.

  • @madman3247

    1. There is no God

    2. If there was, who would you be to say what God "meant"? Hmm?

    3. Evolution doesn't "adapt anything to be [in a certain] way."

  • I can prove there is a God, can you prove there isn't? Don't ask me to prove it online either cause that would be a severely retarded thing to ask, which you were gonna ask, weren't you? What God has said is written in books that have been here for more than two thousand years, every account of Christ being proven even in lands that were thousands of miles from his birthplace and places he lived in. Finally, evolution adapts humans in very specific ways and accurate, or did you not go to school?

  • No, you cannot prove the existence of God either online of off. There are religions that have books written that are older than Christianity and Judaism, so should I believe those religions instead?

    Religion is faith. And faith requires believing something that cannot be proven. I'm happy that you have your faith. Don't try to impose it on the rest of us. That's where you lose me and start getting compared to Muslim fundamentalists.

  • Ok...let me get this straight.

    1. You say you can prove that there is a god, but you won't do it. Rrrright.

    2. The next sentence doesn't make any sense whatsoever but I think that your point is that since the bible has been around for so long, it must automatically be true. Rrrright.

    3. Now, about evolution. Evolution is not something that adapts humans in a certain way. Evolution is the name of a naturally occuring process, a process in which living organisms change.

  • @madman3247

    (cont.)

    Now, about evolution and homosexuality. Homosexuality is frequently occuring in nature, so your argument (at least that is what I think you mean) that homosexuality is unnatural is rubbish.

    Btw, even if it was "unnatural", why would this make it wrong? I mean, glasses and contact lenses are very unnatural. Does that mean that we should prohibit the use of them, leaving the people with vision disabilities handicapped?

  • WIN

  • either you are retarded or .................no you are retarded.

    this IS a step forward to taking america to a less stupid place. altho like racism there will always be hate for gay couples because so many people arent open minded

  • If I were retarded, then I would be mentally handicapped and not able to converse with you in this manner, so no, I am not. You're just throwing around blind insults to attempt at justifying your pathetic falsehoods. It's not a matter of being open minded, it's a matter of belief. People like myself have been around and established America as a God graced and free country, but under certain rules. The America we live in today is a lie and situations such as this, further this country's demise.

  • the cake is a lie <<< that statment it true. it has been scientificly proven.

    people belive what they want to believe. but for me you gota treat religion as a joke. tell me how is same sex marriage killing your country? honestlyi dont see your problem. there not going to have offspring which they will then force to be gay, so what is your problem? the fear of being wrong when you die if you say god doesnt exsist

  • Luke 6:37

    Judge not, and you will not be judged; condemn not, and you will not be condemned; forgive, and you will be forgiven;

  • Cor 6:9

    "Or do you not know that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor homosexuals"

  • this is so wrong

    im not against gays

    i just dont think they should be merried in a catholic/Christian church

  • how is this a sin? who cares about sins. people shouldn't live in fear of doing what is wrong or right. we only get one life so live it and enjoy it.

  • this is so wrong. Oh God, they will be punished. Including that unholy priest. Shameful.

  • Shut the fuck up. They're in love.

    I support gay/lesbian couples.

  • @drrdrake interesting... tell me who will punish them? and please dont say God because you obviously have no right to make the decisions of "God" who is he anyways?

  • Life will punish them if they are lucky... because they will not want to look back at this in Death form... God will forgive you if you can forgive yourself... forgiving is an act that can only be done if you are alive... can you forgive yourself now for the mistakes of this life and clear your mind to end confusion and lies...

  • Well, actually the bible don't say anything about women being together...It only states that a man should not lay with another man... so I'm for it...hihihi

  • i'd rather have a pagan hippie wedding

  • it is prohibited in the bible. fucking stupid priest.

  • Comment removed

  • Beautiful! Let Love Be!

  • homo

  • Dearest god? I support marriage for everyone but using gods prayer is kinda contradicting this whole struggle.I thought they used something else? >>; maybe gay marriage in DC is a WIP....

  • HAPPY FOR THEM :)

  • This is wrong we have 2 females the  on the left pretending 2 be sum thing she is not wearing a suit hahahahahahah this shit is nasty god have mercy in this people

  • amen

  • I only enjoy hot lesbians not dikes

  • Wow. So now gays can get quickie marrieges and then divorce just as fast!

  • them queers took are jobs

    (THEY TOOK YAR JOBS)

  • thats just wrong!!! people need to read the bible, the priest has one in his hand, he's so close but he just won't read it... that's a disgrace!!!

    FUCK THE WORLD AND WHERE ITS GOING!!!!!!!!!

  • @TheRebelmitch

    "thats just wrong!!!"

    Please, prove that statement.

    "people need to read the bible"

    If you're implying that the laws of society should be based on the bible, you're talking nonsense. Government and religion should be kept as far apart as possible.

  • Genesis 2:24

    "For this reason a man shall leave his father and his mother, and be joined to his wife; and they shall become one flesh."

  • equal rights for humanity.

  • Comment removed

  • Stop living your life out of Genesis content. The old testament is DEAD. The new testament is DEAD. Society live in a more complex world and the bible is only a part of a bigger picture in human civilization.

  • I am just displeased that they would quote from scripture when they are clearly violating it. They could have prayed in Satan's name and I wouldn't have cared.

  • theyre wearing strap ons underneath i guarantee it

  • if people mate with animals, imagine what the children that were born will look like??? this is what i called evolution =(

  • are people going to marry their dogs next??

  • Dogs cannot consent like two adult members of our species.

  • @PR0GRAMMING you never know.... Maybe some day, we will see someone walking on the street with a dog head in the future

  • @MrBoomSonic

    How does allowing same-sex marriage mean that people will start to marry their dogs? Please explain the logic you are using when arriving at that conclusion.

    Oh yeah. I forgot. You're not using logic, but merely spewing out ridiculous statements.

  • @MrBoomSonic Yeah, cause humans are just like dogs, oh wait.

  • There is no god; let people do what they wish.

  • love doesn't see any boundaries.

  • gay had won.... and common sense is lost =(

  • this is wrong and im happy that the man dies

  • @Alaras4292 well m8. The way the human race is continuing, in like 10 years we will see people marrying animals and someone like you saying that, well? what's wrong? he loved his animal, and made out? and now they will have a baby half human half animal.

    Nothing wrong about that?

    In atheism anything is allowed =p, but the ones who believe in 1 God and are true followers of God would never do such things....

  • I am sorry, but u can't accept somethings from the bible and disreguard what you don't like... The bible clearly states that a man shall not lay with a man or a woman with a woman.... God is very clear on that... You can't pick and choose what u like and don't like in the bible.... and then ask GOD to bless you for it... I'm lost. So its ok to kill someone I guess or steal for that matter.... The bible states that those two things r wrong.... I'm lost on gay people's thinking......

  • i completely disagree with you. The bible is a pretextual writings of the old civilization on earth. The events that happen is not 100% proven. Just to make things easier for you, 100 years from now, future civilization will see today's fiction books, will they consider the stories facts?

  • @sfknight78 Harry Potter was a good man!

  • do you think love should only be bestowed for a man and a woman? If you answer is yes, then love is not blind. What you consider love for a man and a woman is the same love as you would see for 2 men and/or 2 women. why is that hard to comprehend?

  • yay finally~ I'm straight asian female but still I'm so happy for them.

    (Big smile)

  • I now pronounce you wife and wife?

    This is sick...

    People are getting more and more sick everyday....

  • @3bram72 How is it wrong for two people who care about eachother to show it and express it personally? You don't have to involve yourself unless you choose to, they are not forcing their lifestyle upon you, so why be so judgmental and hateful towards them? People like you who would prevent another individual from living their lives freely and independent from you are the ones who are sick, seriously man, get a life.

  • those r some ugly homoz

  • DC are gay anyway

  • eww

  • How can you ask God for a blessing for gay couples? Its against everything God teaches.

  • God isn't real

  • God is very real and He proves himself everyday in your life but you take it for granted. Didn't you hear after you die you will judge for the choices you've made in the body, if you believe in Him or not you will be judged. I was just like you years ago. I 100% didn't believe in anything. I thought when your dead, thats it. I started studing prophecy and comparing it to the world. It fits perfectly with the things going on today. You don't see because you don't understand.

  • Sorry, you're delusional and believe in a bronze age myth...idiot

  • @322nemesis uh no it isn't. God didn't teach hatred against gay people.

  • Who said anything about hatred? It's the act. God is the creater of nature. Two male cats can not make babies nor can two female monkeys. Humans are the same; therefore, they need the opposite sex to procreate. Two of the same sex sharing in carnal relations is an abomination against nature.

  • oh way to put the sole purpose of humankind existence is to breed. how exciting.....

  • and that pastor is gay or real one?

    ahahha.. and God is staring down at ya an going; oh gahh what i have done what i have done!! lol

  • i don't believe this! surely God created every living thing in pairs. Every creatures knows his mate. I am not suprised by this but sad day will come. keep waiting. ......darwin loves you!
