Gay activists call for 'equality,' 'freedom' in US march

[austinmerriott7]

Being gay is not human

[margiethatcher]

what is great is that I cant tell who the boys are or who the girls are...amazing!

[margiethatcher]

whats great is that I cant tell if who the boys are and who the girls are....



[CJbass420]

@margiethatcher get glasses blind man.

[Keymaker20]

Set gays free!!

[njattack]

I don't know about that, but Dwight Eisenhower was the man of the hour in 1954. He rounded up and deported 5 MIL illegal alien Mexicnas with his program called Operation Wetback. Further, he put the U.S. Army on the border to make sure these foreigners stay in their own country.

There was massive unemployment in 1930's like now. FDR STOP immigration so that Americans could go back to work. Shady & greedy businesses would give jobs to cheap labor if they could. Same as today.

[njattack]

Most of the issues you express are being experienced by ALL Americans.

Immigration will be STOPPED competely. That alone has destroyed the economy.

It's the business community that is the biggest problem. Gays are openly fired? So are people over 40! So are people because they are white Americans! Gays have it better because they are at least hired in the 1st place. Normal white Americans don't even get an interview!

[motiongraphics81]

You want Gay Marriage? Vote Libertarian! Libertarians understand that the state has no right to intrude into your bedroom or tax your income. They realize that it's your life and your body. The Dems will never give you what you want, no matter how much you hope they will, and Republicans... lol, there's only one left, and that's Ron Paul. Even he doesn't think it's the Fed's place to tell you what to do. So, you want equal rights, vote for Individual Rights. Vote Libertarian!

[TheREALDanontheMoon]

WHO. FUCKING. CARES.

[PLmoms]

Clearly millions of people do. But of course, you don't have to if you don't want to.

[motiongraphics81]

No, I mean I'm all for equal rights and what not. But get this. What is marriage? A contract between two people and, if those people wish, some higher power. The state only intrudes over taxation. We've already established that the Income Tax is unconstitutional, so, let's abolish the Income Tax and that alone will help pave the way for gay marriage. You can't REALLY care about gay rights if you don't care about Individual economic liberty first.

[OrphanPaper]

how can there be equality in marriage when the concept is designed for 2 people of the opposite sex to conceive and be as one , its biologically and spiritually impossible for 2 people of the same sex to do so in the same manner , a contract of turns and conditions set out at law would legalese such a unconsummatable arrangement,

there is a possibility that defective oldfacter nerves my contribute to the attraction of same sex

[PLmoms]

It was originally designed for financial status, property ownership and procreation. None of these are primary factors in marriage today.

Marriage is a union between to loving, committed adults willing to take on the the responsibilities of a life-long legal marital relationship. For those who are spiritual, those couples also take on the responsibility of a spiritually nurturing relationship.

Just because this is not possible for you, does not mean it is not a reality for other couples.

[OrphanPaper]

try fitting to male ends of a power point together or t femal ends , the copling is not possiable and its the same spirit ,

marrage is a spiritual union , not a sexual experance, ,,

[PLmoms]

We are not objects with easy fitting counterparts. Humans are much more complex. We have thoughts, souls, etc. I agree that marriage is a spiritual union. Because it is spiritual, the parts your body comes with are not as important as who your soul can connect with.

Same sex couples are equally capable of spiritual unions

[OrphanPaper]

No , the experiences u describe are only physical manifestations of psychological interpretation of the world around one self, and in reality only process ,drives, "a desire " to maintain a physical presents ,they are terrestrial and corrupted by the previsions of the same desire to maintain that presents and as such need to control or to dominate others, not a spiritual union in any way ,

[PLmoms]

How do you know? Have you been in a same-sex relationship?

Your opinion, which you you can keep if it makes you happy, is based on zero facts. They don;t even make sense. Heterosexual relationships tend to manifest control and dominant situations. Gay relationships are shown by research to be more equal because there is no dominant gender role.

[OrphanPaper]

that is a hedrophobic statement

,provesing u have no real case to put and no idea of the "concept" of marrage

[JiveDadson]

Congrats, gay folks.

Now then, AP and YouTube, your bias is showing. A million people marched on DC on Sept 12, protesting out-of-control government spending. A MILLION PEOPLE! Where were you AP? Why did that not top the YouTube News and Politics page?

Did you think we would not notice?

[franzfaramir]

beautiful. supportive all the way!!

[1776iscoming]

Exactly what rights do people who practice this lifestyle not have? Last time I looked, we all have the same rights.

[joesphx19]

Will all service Men be issued SOAP ON A ROPE

[MrCaleb6000]

Most conservatives should spend more time looking at their own assholes and stop thinking about everyone else's.

[lenny380]

please we don't really have time for gay agendas. If you want to do something to show gay power - vote for conservatism, it may be too late for the Republicans to rally support for gay rights ( much more than Democrats -look it up ) in lieu of more important problems like the US Dollar!

[PLmoms]

Why do people spend the time and $ opposing gay rights when it does not affect them anyway? Conservative should stop giving $ to hateful organizations such as NOM and Maine's "Stand for Marriage".

[lenny380]

there is nothing hateful about not agreeing with gay rights and it is an insult to say otherwise. I don't want to know your sexual preference if you don't mind. This gay movement is really just a leftist move to get Government goodies instead of getting things through hard work like it has always been. I am fed up with gays pushing their agenda in schools also.

[PLmoms]

I am not saying all people against gay rights are hateful. but the organizations, NOM and Stand for Marriage, have hateful agendas. They simply don't like gays and are making misleading ads and statements. The Attorney General of Maine stated that nothing in the education curriculum will change with or without question 1. There is no agenda in schools.

The gay movement is really just about equal rights. Why do you deserve social & financial recognition of marriage and gays don't?

[coolblue154]

Those gays push their agenda because they are not treated fair. You have no idea what you're talking about when you're not experiencing it first hand.

Most gay people live in shame and fear, because their surroundings don't accept them.

Now you imagine a world where you're not allowed to be who you are. Sounds scary? That's the reality for almost all gay people.

So if you are fed up with gays and their agendas, help them out in that they don't have to fight for their rights anymore.

[idaman12345]

If you want to do something to show gay power - vote for conservatism,

wrong, conservatives are the ones fighting against gay rights

[KevinFerrari1]

Jesus told me to support gay rights.

[spiritdawound]

damn engineer unable to publish correct sound in both channels, that's how frenches works :D

[zomg7711]

* facepalm * it seems everyone on youtube fails at life now....

[independentview1]

Is this it? All that endless talk of the hundreds of thousands and possibly a million that would march and all they manage is a couple thousand people.

I've seen more people at a high school football game.

[drummerpaul]

There were hundred of thousands there for the rally! It was inspiring.

[jjrglobal]

Gay rights is the most overblown issue in American history. What percentage of the population is rejected by the armed forces for their sexual preference?

It wouldn't bother me except bullshit like this takes away from issues that really matter, like.. oh I don't know...... THE FEDERAL FUCKIN RESERVE

You know that private institution that has stolen the wealth of this nation and uses politicians to lead us towards total servitude.

Yet not many marches against the Federal Reserve

[PLmoms]

If people would stop opposing gay rights, it wouldn't be an issue.

[motiongraphics81]

Any group is only as free as the individuals in said group.

[KevinFerrari1]

Straight people who fixate on gays should go try gay sex instead.

[KevinFerrari1]

Jesus was gay. Stupid.

[KevinFerrari1]

god destroyed 2 cities because there was stupid ass straight people in those cities

[hechosdcolon]

one of the reasons y god destroyed 2 citys was becuase they were gay read it in the bible

[beyondgreat]

Look at all the "Chi Chi Man (gay men) & Sodomites (lesbiens)" who a take set on Obama.

[njattack]

Only the American People can determine whether same-sex marriage will be legalized or not. Like it or not, that's the way a DEMOCRACY works. The "will of the people."

In California the people voted for/against Proposition 8. The "will of the people" voted NO same-sex marriage.

[rainbowheartgirl]

Attack, you should read up on our style of goverment. We have a *constitutional* democracy, not a direct democracy. It means that we don't vote on civil rights in our country. It means that minorities have protection from tyranny of the majority.

[njattack]

You already have civil rights & equal rights. You have civil unions. The claims

you don't have equal rights is nonsense.

If a Negro or any other race consisting of a male & female wanted to marry but could not, then, they don't have equal rights.

You, however do not fit into that category. Marriage is between a male & female. What you want to do is change the definition of marriage. That has nothing to do with equal rights. The American people will not let you change the definition.

[rainbowheartgirl]

Attack, gay and lesbian people do not have equal rights. Civil unions only exist in a minority of states, and they do not provide the same benefits and protects as legal marriage. If you think they do, you're obviously uninformed. Same goes for adoption rights, the right to serve in the military, immigration rights, etc. It is even legal to fire people for being gay in 33 states. Equality is not even remotely close. By the way, who is the "you" you're talking about?

[rainbowheartgirl]

Attack, if by "you," you mean *me,* I already have those rights. I'm straight. But my gay and lesbian family members and friends don't have those rights, which is why I'm fighting for them. I also know what it's like to be treated like a second-class citizen because I grew up with two gay dads. When I was a little girl, our family did not have the same rights as straight families. Our family still doesn't. My dads got married in CA last year, but they still don't get federal protections.

[njattack]

Second rate citizens? What do you think discrimination against the American people is?

Why do you think there are 20+ MIL unemployed Americans? Because they are being discrimianted against, that's why.

The high-tech industry malaiciously discrimiantes agaisnt the American people because they are white and because they are white & over a certain age, say 40. Don't you think that's 2nd rate?

STOP IMMIGRATION NOW!

STOP GREEN CARDS NOW!

DEPORT ILLEGAL ALIENS & H-1B VISA FOREIGNERS NOW!

[rainbowheartgirl]

Attack, you've gone off on some other tangent. None of that has to do with treating gay and lesbian people and their families equally under the law.

[njattack]

It has everything to do with it.

Homo/les have 2 issues: they cannot get married and they complain about the armed forces. Civil unions is the solution to marriage. The armed forces may have to change it policy.

Homo/les will never change the definition of marriage. They will have to be satisfied with civil unions.

All other issues are also expericenced by the rest of the American people. They should join them.

Foreigners are troublemakers. STOP IMMIGRATION, GRN CARDS, H-1B NOW!

[rainbowheartgirl]

Attack, "foreigners?" Well, that makes you sound xenophobic and quite possibly racist. I don't think it's productive to talk to someone who thinks like that.

[njattack]

If you support foreigners then that makes you a terrorist! I believe terrorists should be immediately deported out of the U.S.

Said FDR in a 1932 campaign speech: There is no room for immigrants in the U.S. American jobs are only for Americans.

[rainbowheartgirl]

Attack, okay, well I guess that pretty much wraps up our discussion.

[tellpipe11]

Modern day Sodom and Gomorrah, God's gonna destroy this wicked Nation.

[commongroundpolitics]

How about we round up all the homophobes & give them their own state & then they can all live in hate together? That sounds like a better plan.

[katchison]

I don't see how any law enforcing limiting gay rights is legal. First amendment says that no law shall made in regard to any religion. Aside to the fact that christianity barely discusses the matter of homosexuality, in truth it is just an individual bias, it should be illegal. Who cares so much if someone wants to get married ffs?

[humanisall]

Some are just so plainly ignorant, the funny part is they know it. Arrogance is the butt of every joke. It's ok, you'll grow up to be a big boy, someday.

[JonGarrett2008]

why dont we just give the gays their own state, the smallest state and let them just have their own country. either that or kill them all.

[Zander73]

Wtf is wrong with you they're just people get over it.

If you ask me, killing off all the republicans would solve a lot of problems but would I ever in a million years support that idea? FUCK NO!

Again, they're just people. Not a big deal.

[barklikeamonkey]

It doesn't even need to be a big state, maybe only a half of a small state, since only 2 or 3 percent of the people in the US are gay.

[JonGarrett2008]

ok, so lets give them half of a small state in.....Afghanistan or Saudi Arabia. let them be gay there.

[coolblue154]

More like 10 percent. So in other words, in your vision, you'd need the biggest state in order to give them what they deserve...

[barklikeamonkey]

Oh I guess you are looking at the Alfred Kinsey numbers from the 1940's. The 2000 U.S. Census Bureau found that homosexual couples constitute less than 1% of American households. The Family Research Report says "around 2-3% of men, and 2% of women, are homosexual or bisexual." The National Gay and Lesbian Task Force estimates 3-8 percent of both sexes.

10% is way optimistic...

[coolblue154]

In a world where most people are ashamed of being homosexual, I take it you can understand that a lot of those people deny their sexuality?

You can hold a poll, you can make a report, but that doesn't mean much.

But whatever number is true or not, this should be about accepting one another the way you are.

[merrimac291]

what do the bum bandits want this time?

[nandatebayo666]

Its weird how the simple act of reproduction can have such a big effect on our society.

then again, its not surprising since we all are selfish godless animals to begin with.

not that being selfish is bad,its just what animals do to survive.

[BlueSkies360]

I think we should be asking to stop favoring one group over another. The fact that you are married or you are black or you are gay should not get any better insurance rates, affirmative loans, etc.. Everybody should be equal as individuals. There are all kinds of people in the society. If somebody has "rights" it means others don't. So let's cut these subsidies to all groups of people. Its is ridiculous that people have to marry to get rights (favors).

[kakompo]

I thought homosexuality was not a crime in this country. It's legal to be a homosexual right?

[777truthseeker]

that woman with the board is blaspheming!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

SHE WILL SURELY GIVE ACCOUNT OF THAT IN THE JUDGEMENT!!

JESUS IS THE SON OF GOD!!!!!!!!

[MrNationalistpride]

Good we can mark the faces of all the perverts and and their enablers the Jews are behind this satanic movement

[matthewandrew]

amazing!

happy national coming out day!

[Yuratchka]

Gays are not equals; they are lessor humans.
