MARRIAGE: KATHY NAJIMY AND DAN FINNERTY GIVE A DAMN

[samoanguy808]

They need to make Hocus Pocus 2 LMAOOOOOO love her

[baddave62]

@Ncorydb117 I give a shit. If you will read the first amendment to the U.S. Constitution, you will find that we are a secular republic, not a judaic/christian/muslim theocracy. And no, same sex marriage is not trying to call a cat a dog. How did you come up with such a moronic analogy?

[luv4parrots]

I give a damn! I'm ST8 against H8! Stop putting too much into this people. It's simple......we are all brothers and sisters upon this earth. A little bit of love and respect can go a long ways. You would not want anyone to decide what is right for you, so why should you decide, based on your own morals, religion, upbringing, etc...what is right for another person. Those are YOUR values and you have the right to them, just as others have the right to their values. LOVE & RESPECT! LOVE & RESPECT!

[cribsays]

What a great video!

[brundageta]

I love kathy

[teogarno]

Dan is funny.

[LTDViperDeli]

@teogarno He's a fucking ass.

[simpsonfreak16]

@namasteywhat so your saying that they cant get married cuz they cant have kids? there are plenty of straight coupkes that cant or CHOOSE not to have kids..we are not just here to reproduce...there are 6 billion ppl on this earth..humans arent going anywhere..and who cares? love doesnt know gender! and why should something that doesnt even effect you, effect someone elses happiness? no ones askin you to marry the same gender

[simplesnip3z]

Why do homosexuals need the benefits of marriage?

[rachiti]

@simplesnip3z why do straight people? If gay people can't have them...then straight people, me included, shouldn't either.

[simplesnip3z]

@rachiti

Because it is socially excepted and was carried through for thousands of years and allows us to populate. It's human instinct for a man and a women to be together, think about what it was like for the first gays -- they did it because they were fucked up. Society is going to shit, just think in 20 years it will be totally normal to have bestiality -- same basic concept, it sounds fucked up today but more and more will get into it I'm sure, and then you'll be in my position.

[cribsays]

@simplesnip3z It's not the same basic concept - two males and two females are still part of the same species. Bestiality occurs between different species

[LTDViperDeli]

Ok so if I disagree with all this, does that make me a BIGOT? Just because I don't agree or subscribe to your point of view, that gives you the fucking right to judge me? Fuck you.

[rachiti]

@LTDViperDeli Disagree all you want inside your head but that does NOT give you the right to discriminate against gay people or treat them as lesser than straight people. Anything less than equality is unacceptable because it's selfish and downright MEAN!! Being gay is just as normal as being straight.

[LTDViperDeli]

@rachiti So basically you're saying that I HAVE TO AGREE WITH YOU OR ELSE I'M A MEAN PERSON? Sorry, but that's absolute crap and you know it. This country has gotten way too PC and liberal because of people like you telling people like me that we HAVE to conform to your views. Sorry, but I will continue to refuse and resist your propaganda. Call me a hater all you like but that's my God given right to not accept gay views. Doesn't mean to hurt or hate them, though. NO ONE should be harmed.

[rachiti]

@LTDViperDeli You don't have to agree with me. I can't control what you think any more than anyone else can. However, what you DO and SAY, if it harms gay members of this community either through hate or denial of rights, WOULD make you a mean person. Being disrespectful is downright mean. FYI, it's not propaganda - it's the HUMANE and KIND thing to do. I was born a white straight female. It is a fact. Treating people who never hurt anyone like s**t is mean. Also a fact.

[juliejam]

I love them!

[LTDViperDeli]

@namasteywhat Phoenix needs a hot dick in her vagina and her face sprayed with man chowder

[phoenix1985]

@namasteywhat Again, I didnt say I wanted you dead. I just said it would be a good thing. So what about straight couples that cant have kids or elderly couples. Are they inferioir because they cannot have kids? Marriage is about love, not gender. Just because you have the "right" genitalia doesnt make a marriage. I do not want or need the prayers of an ignorant bigot who cannot see just how ignorant and bigoted he his. Keep your sanctimonious speeches. No one believes them.

[phoenix1985]

@namasteywhat Either you support equality or you don't. Either you are a bigot or you aren't. You are so deal with it. The only thing I hate is hate. You hate equality and justice. You sicken and disgust me. You are vile simple thing not worthy of anyone's time. Just face it that evil and bigotry like yours will never win. Love always wins out in the end. You've lost the battle, so now all you have to do is admit you have lost the war.

[phoenix1985]

@namasteywhat I didn't say you should kill yourself. I said you would be doing us all a favor if you did. You really don't understand semantics at all do you. You are just a pathetic little child who throws a hissy fit when he doesn't get his way. Give it up you pathetic little worm. You are an empty souless shell. You are nothing to anyone. Again, not saying you should kill yourself, just saying you would be doing the world a favor if you did.

[phoenix1985]

@namasteywhat Funny, since nowhere else on this page do those words appear. Coward? Who has been the one standing up to you and your ignorance, fear, bigotry, and intolerance. You are the coward, hiding behind semantics you know you cannot win. Just shut up and go home. You are not wanted or needed anywhere else. Although I doubt you are wanted and or needed there either.

[Senistrognata]

Whist wegiveadamn is a GREAT campaign, I think this video is a bit shallow.

[phoenix1985]

@namasteywhat I never wished you dead. I just said you were a waste of space, which you are, a waste of humanity, which you are, and a waste of time, which you are. I dont hate people. I do however dislike them for who they are. You hate people for what they are. Big difference there pal. Do try and figure it out. I know it will be hard, but you can do it.

[phoenix1985]

@namasteywhat No, you have your own hate-filled bigoted leaders, religious officials, and celebrities telling you it's okay to hate. Or do you hate all on your own? If you do, more's the pity. Did you learn your hate from religion, your parents, or was it just born in you?

[phoenix1985]

@namasteywhat As opposed to the hate group propoganda you so apparantly love? There is no gay propoganda. There is simply gay truth and right wing lies. Yes, some of us actually think through the messages. You apparantly aren't one of them.

[phoenix1985]

@namasteywhat And just because you are to lazy to look one up for yourself doesn't mean I'm gonna do it for you. I'm not going to be dragged into this silly little game you want to play. I could show my links and you could show yours. The difference? Mine would be right and yours would be wrong. Yours would be done in the name of hatred, fear, bigotry, prejudice, and intolerance. So, seriously, get a life.

[phoenix1985]

@namasteywhat Then why does their official stance page say that it is unchangeable and probably genetic. Just because some people have chosen to lie to themselves doesn't mean a thing. Again, quit being childish, grow up, and accept facts. One study is not proof. There are far more studies saying that being gay is not a choice and genetic. Give it a rest will you. I'm tired of dealing with someone of such limited intelligence and such monumental ignorance.

[phoenix1985]

@namasteywhat No, actually, you take that award, by quite a large margin. Quit being so childish and grow up.

[phoenix1985]

@namasteywhat Yeah it was a nice try. Since I already won. Why don't you just admit defeat and give up. You can't win. Love and truth always win out in the end.

[phoenix1985]

@namasteywhat Go to the AMA, APA, or AAP's website. They all say the same thing. They all say it is genetic and unchangeable. Do us all a favor and just shut the hell up. You aren't worth even the cyberspace you take up.

[phoenix1985]

@namasteywhat Your ignorance knows no bounds. You could probably find 6 people to say that racies shouldn't intermarry. Doesn't make it true. Unlike you I have actually read the studies and studied the reports. You just continue to talk out of your ass with half truths and flat out lies. Try reading something not published by a hate group. You may just learn something.

[phoenix1985]

@namasteywhat They didn't do it under political pressure. They did it because it was the right thing to do. Read their pages on homosexuality. They all say it is unchangeable and determined at birth. It's not inconclusive.

Your stupidity, ignorance, fear, and bigotry are boundless. As is your ability to a heartless souless bastard.

[phoenix1985]

@namasteywhat You cannot change your sexuality. The AMA, APA, and AAP all say the same thing. You are born gay, straight, or bi. Gender doesn't mean a damn you bigot.

[LTDViperDeli]

@namasteywhat Don't pay any attention to Phoenix. He/she is one of those people who like to force the gay issue down everyone's throats and in a sense, force us normal people to accept queers and their "special rights"

[phoenix1985]

@namasteywhat Those are the same arguements they used to fight against interracial marriage. They didn't apply then and they don't imply now. Yes love has boundaries, they are families, children, and animals. Those are the only boundaries love needs. What you call intelligence i call bigotry. Marriage is about love, not about having the right set of genitalia. You are just an ignorant bigot who has chosen hate over love. You are sick, twisted, and demented and need help.

[phoenix1985]

@namasteywhat Yes, it is. Equal protection under the law is a human right. It's not a religious issue, it's a civil issue. Love knows no gender, race, nationality, or creed. Love only knows love. You obviously chose hate instead.

[SpiritDreamsInside]

This is beautiful.

[doubleghod]

Now, here are two complete assholes; perfect together

[noreexic]

@namasteywhat  Why...?!

[hergirl10]

I am a lesbian! My partner and I have been together for 7 years and have recently had a commitment ceremony in Michigan. We would have gotten married legally, but unfortunately it is illegal for two women to marry in this state. My WIFE and I both have good jobs, we own a home, we have good credit, we do volunteer work, and we are both extremely close to our catholic families. For all of the people out there who think we are different than you, think again!!

[mkroehler65]

@hergirl10 Funny. I don't think homosexuality is one of the Catholic principles (gay priests aside)...

[LTDViperDeli]

@hergirl10 I guess my vote actually counted then! FOR ONCE!

[LTDViperDeli]

@hergirl10 Oh well, too bad. It was put up for a vote and the majority of us in Michigan said NO. Try moving to New York or Vermont to get married and go live with the others.

[rachiti]

@LTDViperDeli What is popular is not always right and what is right is not always popular. Inequality is WRO

NG. There is no discussion, it simply is. LTDViperDeli - karma will kick you soundly in the a** sooner or later...and the sooner the better.

[cribsays]

@LTDViperDeli I don't think your intelligence is high enough and therefore you shouldn't be allowed to get married. I bet I could get a large group to back me on this two. Then I'll put your ability to get married up to a vote. Does that seem to make any sense to you? Because that's pretty much what your suggesting should be allowed to happen in the majority of people in your state didn't agree with the person you chose to marry.

[LTDViperDeli]

@cribsays My intelligence isn't high enough? This coming from a person who can't use punctuation properly (it's "you're", not "your"). And the people of Michigan have spoken. We don't want gay marriage here. Period. Get over it, dumb ass

[cribsays]

@LTDViperDeli Ah yes, my one negligible grammar mistake makes me stupid. Perhaps it was just a typo? And what if the people of Michigan spoke and said that you shouldn't be allowed to get married to the person you want to wed? Would you be cool with that? What gives you the right to tell other people who they can and cannot marry anyway? It's their life, not yours and this action does not affect you. So why does it matter so much to you if they marry someone of the same sex?

[LTDViperDeli]

@cribsays In the end, it doesn't matter, what I think or say because we're both not going to agree. You support gay marriage. I don't. You are free to speak your mind, but so am I. And if my views don't agree with your views, too bad. Freedom of speech goes both ways.

And you asked me who gave me the right to say that gays cannot marry? The State of Michigan did when it was brought up for a vote in 2004.

[cribsays]

@LTDViperDeli You're still being nonsensical. My argument wasn't against your own personal beliefs. It was against your ability to push those beliefs on the personal lives of others. I also never affronted your right to express your opinion, so I'm not sure why you felt the need to defend it. And the whole point of the discussion was to determine whether or not the state of Michigan has the right to tell people whether they are allowed to marry someone of the same sex

[baddave62]

@LTDViperDeli People in Germany also voted for Hitler in 1933. Did this give them the right to exterminate Jews? Being legal and being right are two different things.

[shadeofgrey10]

Also, the bible-bashers in this thread act as though we believe in the bible. Lol. I'm not going to start a religion vs. athiest post, but I'm sorry. I don't believe in the bible. I believe in science. That's my personal choice, and you have the right to have yours too.

[PLmoms]

Nice video. I love Kathy Najimy!

[Rumake]

Christians often try and sell something they call love, but which is really a poor imitation of love, namely tolerance. “I love the sinner, but I hate the sin.” Tolerance has nothing to do with love. If you don’t believe that the love between 2 men or 2 women is as sacred as the love between a man and a woman, then you consciously or unconsciously support those who pull the trigger, twist the knife and swing the baseball bat. Do you have blood on your hands?

[MehStupidVids]

@Rumake im a christain and i am that by family and partly by choice and i support gays and gay rights :D

[Rumake]

@MehStupidVids Yes, I know many good Christians who support gay rights. For that matter I also know many good Jerws, Muslims and athiests who support our civiil rights. The love between 2 men or 2 women is as sacred as the love between between a man and a woman. Unfortuantly, the older generation doesn't know that yet. Your generation is special.

[sheyna1]

Awesome video, it really is that simple!

[VictorLepanto]

What stupidity. The family is the foundation of civilization. When men & women come together, the NATURAL result is children. Thus a family is formed, naturally. A marriage is legal framework to recognise & reenforce through legal protections the formation of a family. Not every couple produces children, but that is the purpose & hope. A mere taste for sodomy has social consequence beyond the bad ones. No social recognition is relevant.

[shenadoa]

@VictorLepanto Bullshit!

[VictorLepanto]

@shenadoa: & how else would REAL natural families come into being? People who deny their very nature are people who can't manage to survive much longer. We're destroying the very foundations of Western Civilisation. Our children, & most certainly their children will live a world very different from our own. It will be good that the depraved madness we celebrate today will no longer be plausible. It will be bad for the damage we leave for them to fix.

[shenadoa]

@VictorLepanto Bukkshit!

[VictorLepanto]

@shenadoa: Well, we have seen the full range of arguments that are put forward to defend the normalization of sodomy. Mindless sentimentalism & ignorant abuse. I feel my argument has been made for me. Future generations will wonder if we weren't all mad. I intend to leave a record that we were not. Our civilisation (what's left of it) is fixing for a vast catastrophy

[shenadoa]

@VictorLepanto Bullshit!

[VictorLepanto]

@shenadoa: Well, before such elloquence there is no argument. You are the herald of the death of our civilisation.

[shadeofgrey10]

@VictorLepanto I don't know what archaic era you came from, but to me, love between two people (no matter what sex they are) is completely natural. Gay couples can have families too and most of the time they do a much better job than straight couples who abuse their right to have a family. Homosexuality IS natural, there is a lot of evidence that it's biological (read some scientific journals for more info) and it occurs almost everywhere in nature. Yes, the world is changing.

[VictorLepanto]

@shadeofgrey10: All organisms (even societies) change, when they are dead, that change is called rotting. What if the two who are "loving" each other are mother & son? What if one is 30 & the other 10? You don't have to sodomize something to love it. I'm from the future, I'm addressing those who will need to rebuild our civilisation when your like are done destroying this one. Humans (unlike ignorant animals) build civilisations, requiring standards of decency to survive. You're killing our!

[shadeofgrey10]

@VictorLepanto Oh my goodness. Where do I start... What about all the homosexual people that contribute greatly to society? Sodomy has nothing to do with it. Pedophilia has nothing to do with it. How can you compare violating an innocent young person with, for example, a man loving and caring for another? You have completely sexualised this whole thing. This isn't about sex, and it's none of your business what people choose to do behind closed doors.

[VictorLepanto]

@shadeofgrey10: marriage has SOMETHING to do w/ sex. That is what is about ultimately. As for "behind closed doors," if people want their private business to be private, they should keep it private. That don't make it an issue for public policy. The gov't recognises marriages ultimately for the good & protection of the CHILDREN which will ultimately issue for the male & female union. When we live in an age when where people can't even understand that the bases of society is family, we're doomed.

[phoenix1985]

@VictorLepanto So a man and woman who don't even love each other and aren't even married have more of a right to raise a child than 2 men who love each other and have been together for years? All scientific studies done by non-christian organizations show that having 2 dads or 2 moms is neither better or worse than having a mom and a dad. Love is what makes a marriage, not genitalia. The sooner you figure that out, the sooner you can stop being a bigot and get with the right program.

[shadeofgrey10]

@VictorLepanto But if that means iradicating the world of bigots and closed-minded, selfish people, then so be it. I'm more than happy for it, and I'm not the only one.

[VictorLepanto]

@shadeofgrey10: So we see the real violent angry impulse which drives the "gay rights" movement. All "gays" have the same rights as any other person, & the same moral obligations to society. Selfishness is shirking your obligations to society & demanding your own private self indulgence, & that others must officially & at public expense celebrate your destructive SELF indulgence. A gay man can marry any woman he wants, just as I can. His homosexuality has no rights, no more then pedophilia does.

[gookie64]

@VictorLepanto I was molested by a born again man who lived next door, both my brothers were molested by our parish priest. I consider myself a Christian because I love Jesus and try to follow his teachings, but I am sick to death of people who use religion as a weapon of hate.. And I am furious when someone compares a gay person, who only wants to love and be loved, to a pedophile, someone who victimizes an innocent child!

[gookie64]

Respond to this video... And "violent angry impulse that drives the gay rights movement"? Really? Really? Last time I checked, it was the homophobes who where bullying, beating and killing people...

[VictorLepanto]

@gookie64: Such is the sellective attention of the PC mind.

[INTJadeSpider]

Her hair looks MARVELOUS!

[jazzie0707]

AHHH, she's from Hocus Pocus! BEST MOVIE EVER!

And my favourite character too!

Props to her and her husband for being fantastic and doing this!

[noreexic]

here here!!!

[flascrnwrtr]

If I am in love with three or four women, is it ok if I marry all of them? Maybe once we get same-sex marriage ok'd then we can get to work on polygamy. Damn, it is the 2000's, right? It's all about love.

[shenadoa]

@flascrnwrtr I doubt you are capable of even taking care of 2 women. So don't sweeat it.

[flascrnwrtr]

@shenadoa Wow, that was pretty much the comeback of a 14 year old. Thanks for your deep. introspective and elegant response. If you are the flag-bearer for same-sex marriage, I understand why it keeps getting voted down. My statement merely pointed out the difficulties that will be faced when we start to broaden the mindset of what is and is not acceptable. Why not respond, in your own words, as to how you would justify same-sex marriage and not legalize the marriage beliefs of Mormons?

[shenadoa]

@flascrnwrtr That's your argument, not mine. How do you justify it?.

[flascrnwrtr]

@shenadoa - Let me repea, as you must have missed in my last post... "My statement merely pointed out the difficulties that will be faced when we start to broaden the mindset of what is and is not acceptable."

[shenadoa]

@flascrnwrtr Checkmate

[flascrnwrtr]

@shenadoa - Checkmate? OK, whatever makes you feel good and sleep at night. Not quite sure how never answering my question gives you a checkmate. OH! You meant checkmate for me. Sorry, I understand now. Thank you for being so gracious.

[shenadoa]

There is not much hope in changing the minds of the religiously incurable. They’re completely controlled by that conversation in their heads that begins the moment they awaken in the morning and continues unceasingly until they fall asleep. They are the pawns of that constant chatter.

[derekdb2]

Repent Gays

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

Romans 1: 26 For this cause YHVH gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:

27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.

[blackbear82]

@derekdb2 Did you know that in Leviticus it also says not to eat pigs, or fish without scales (seafood)? So if you've ever been to Red Lobster, or had a few more strips of bacon with your breakfast or on a cheeseburger, then guest what... you're just as much an abomination. If you can't be supportive of the cause, then why even comment on the video? Or further more why even watch it? Clearly you don't think that the rest of us deserve equal rights.

[shenadoa]

@derekdb2 Your religion is morally bank rupt. Give it up.

1. Leviticus 25:44 states that I may possess slaves, both male and female, provided they are purchased from neighboring nations. A

friend of mine claims that this applies to Mexicans, but not Canadians. Can you clarify? Why can't I own Canadians?

2. I would like to sell my daughter into slavery, as sanctioned in Exodus 21:7. In this day and age, what do you think would be a

fair price for her?

[shenadoa]

@derekdb2 10. My uncle has a farm. He violates Lev.19:19 by planting two different crops in the same field, as does his wife by wearing garments made of two different kinds of thread (cotton/polyester blend). He also tends to curse and blaspheme a lot. Is it really necessary that we go to all the trouble of getting the whole town together to stone them? Lev.24:10-16. Couldn't we just burn them to death at a private family affair, like we do with people who sleep with their in-laws? (Lev. 20:14)

[Alexandra4art]

Awesome AND hilarious. Winning combo. ;-)

[psushgirl]

loved this! can't wait to pass it on to friends :)

[fuckingfantaastic]

Really lovely♥

[Parsonal]

YEAH! I give a damn! :] Haha, I love how straight-forward their approach is. Too cute.

[ItalianStallionette]

They are so cute!

[shenadoa]

Thumbs up!

Civil unions for gay couples only codifies discrimination

[pauliesonne]

I GIVE A DAMN AND I'M NOT ALONE!

[Glorial]

I give a Damn! We ALL need to give a Damn!

[AZ09not]

I give a damn. And I like to make out.

I love Kathy Najimy! It's nice to see a little humor in a marriage equality video, and apparently Dan likes to make out. :-)

[tiarnef]

I love to make out too! :P Very cute.

[rparnell44]

Wonderful, This one is great. I give a Damn and I would like to find some great guy and "make out" and possibly get married. Bet it doesn't happen in my life time. But I going to keep working right up to the end. People, no matter, should be able to pledge their love and devotion before the God as they see. I GIVE A DAMN

[zackthemothmandaggy]

I give a damn.

[CMBnet]

That is so flippin' cute and funny. :)

[progirl2008]

Thank you for such a cute video with an important message. I want to one day be able to get down on one knee without having to worry about what state Im in.

[rachael198]

Really cute video :) Great job.

[KathyCustren]

I give a damn, and this video is too cute. Thanks to both Kathy and Dan for giving a damn about marriage rights. Way to go!

[GlenRotterdam]

I like that they kept their approach light....

[IdontwearLabels]

I give a damn. Thank you both for your support! Now others need to give a damn and let love be just that love, that is endless, timeless, and limitless no matter WHO we fall in live with

[Phoenix1726]

Kathy, you never disappoint. Thanks for your (and your husbands) unending support.

[JKPhage]

I've always loved Kathy Najimy, and she just earned more points for me. Thank you SO MUCH for giving a damn Kathy and Dan.
