Gay Rights Activists Want Marriage Act Overturned

[RCSVirginia]

Even Bob Barr who was one of the authors of DOMA has realized how wrong it is and has come to oppose it. Hear what he has to say in YouTube video:

"Bob Barr on the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA)" by rphaigh

This has always been a horrible law, and it needs to be repealed.

[Gamer4864]

I am happy. I am happy because I know I will win. Along with freedom of religion, is freedom from religion. (The the United States may only be called a "Christian Nation" If you are only taking reference to the fact that that is the majority). This means that we can redefine marriage within the constitution because this is an equal rights nation.

Proud citizen of Massachusetts. Thumbs up if you agree!

OH NO DONT LET THE HOMOSEXUALS HAVE WHAT THEY WANT AND WHAT WONT EFFECT ANY OF US AT ALL THAT WOULD BE TERRIBLE D:

are the people in this campaign inbred or naturally dumb?

[ma7799]

What is the big hole in "gay marriage?" It isn't real marriage, because it is two people of seem sex!

[shadowzice]

gays and pedophile don't need rights

say no to same-sax marriage!

[tully40]

You can justify discrimination any way you want but it still makes you a biggot. So much for love thy neighbor.

[the1andonlyjman]

Idiot bigots who spell sex wrong shouldn't rule the world. Say yes to gay marriage. Gay people aren't pedophiles. If you bigots keep calling us pedophiles then us gays will call you rapists.

[greenwasabe]

Oh gee, overturning DOMA, that would be horrible, what with all commotion that would cause or something.

[NilDesperandum1998]

Good for Obama!

[jjoshuajj21]

This gay marriage subject is not a civil rights issue. It is a moral issue; because, it is ( ungodly ). This is just as disgusting as a dog licking up its own vomit. (Matthew 24:10-12) An (( ungodly )) gay man represents immorality, and when they impose their immorality on us, this is the response they get. Keep your immorality to yourself, so we can just get along, and endure this insanity, until the Redeemer returns, to make everything right.

[Jacksonholenativ]

jjoshujj21 you need to get a life. Using the Bible to bludgeon gay, their families and their friends over the head is dead wrong. This religious bullshit you are spewing here is getting incredibly old and is turning millions of people off from even accepting any personal faith in Jesus which is very tragic. "I love your Christ but I do not like your Christians. They are so unlike your Christ." Ghandi

[Johannwyss82]

The only immoral person here is you! Wishing to deny people their rights because they do not agree with you or your God. Get a life.

[the1andonlyjman]

So is divorce,shellfish and wearing clothing made of two different threads. All of those things will get you stoned to death.

[batmanofni]

"barres federal recognition of Gay Marrige" so does that mean that the American Goverment does not believe in the existence of gay marrige.

[anjela1981]

This to me is a non-issue. If you don't agree with marriage equality, don't marry someone of the same sex! As a school teacher, I don't ever recall reading/citing the words..."with liberty and justice for ALL" and seeing the word, "except". Separate but equal does not, has not and should not work. We can not "eenie meenie miney moe" through our neighborhoods and point to who is allowed marriage or not. As a christian and American, I am for equality, love, and acceptance for all human life:)

[Johannwyss82]

Finally a true Christian, striving to be like Christ.

[enzedbrit]

Wouldn't it be easier if we could just round up all homosexuals, put them in camps and exterminate them, or something?

[GrimRoguePrince]

Nazi.

[enzedbrit]

OH MY GOD! You Americans really are pathetic. Anyone with half a brain would see the deliberate irony in what I said. Piss off and grow up the damned lot of you.

[gronx7]

yeah because that's what happens when we don't like a group of people because that solves problems. Please try not to post more youtube comments. Your ignorance probably just lowered my IQ at least 10 points.

[enzedbrit]

Taking you to minus 10 I fear.

[ObsidianStray]

It's funny. This video highlights how homosexual couples are being treated unconstitutionally, and yet it's on a discriminatory channel. I suppose they must have posted it with celebratory intent?

[montrealpsycho]

I agree. It's actually the only message from NOM that is not filled with tons of lies and outrageous fear mongering, yet this message doesn't help them one bit. It shows actually support for same sex marriage, showing how it should be allowed all over the country so everybody in USA is treated equally under the law, the Constitution and bill of Rights.

[Twinkiey]

just leave gays alone, arent two people allowed happiness through marriage no matter what their affiliation is, i mean come on seriously, let them be, them them MARRY

[Yereviltwin2]

I agree with you. Why are wont these gay assholes leave America alone. Its fine the way it is. Why is a minority group trying to change the established culture? Shouldnt they be working around us instead us around them? Quit changing our laws and losing what our forefathers have given us.

[Felidaise]

"Why is a minority group trying to change the established culture? Shouldnt they be working around us instead us around them?"

That's what racist whites were saying back in the '60s when black people demanded segregation laws to be overturned.

[daguy1234]

Dude. WTF?! Gay Marriage is a civil rights issue, just like it was when blacks were still segregated in the sixties and enslaved in the 1800s and even before that.

"Shouldnt they be working around us instead us around them?" WHAT THE HELL?! THEY AREN'T CAUSING US HARM! AND THEY WON'T BAN MARRIAGE BECAUSE OF GAY MARRIAGE BEING FOUGHT FOR! IDIOT!!!!

[mulinlin7]

Okay, I'm confused: HOW does this further NOM's cause again? How can NOM claim to defend marriage when they threaten to take away the rights of married couples?

[AbandonedToast]

NICE! Sacred aspect of marriage! Why don't we go back to traditional arranged marriage if NOM wants to keep it the way it has always been. They're even too advanced for their own argument's sake.

[Elleluvzu]

FAIL

[LittlePigglette]

Wait, wait, wait? We're trying to protect the sacred aspect of marriage? No, you're trying to protect the old fashion ways.

Which, by NOM's logic, means blacks and women shouldn't be able to marry either because that goes against the old fashion ways!

[akaast]

NOM are fearmongering bigots.

[polkadotbox2]

These ads seem to be

REALLY POPULAR

with the YouTube community.

Looks like hate is so OVER!

[josephwithey]

No matter what people say....

Not giving someone a right based on something they were born with is discrimination.

Thats not what America was founded on and that is not what I will spread to others

[qwertlivvy]

agreed

[azulb9]

It is not, Gay Marriage is illegal in Ohio, Thanks to the 2004 elections. My biggest concern about the issue is how their hate influences teenagers and often leads to suicide because they feel disappointment and the inability to fit in. The constant " not good enough" has real consequences its not just stone throwing anymore

[EmeraldView]

These poor NOM people are wasting their time. And for what? To stand up for bigotry. To stand against the American principals of equal protection under the law for everyone. To stand against the TRUE meaning of marriage in favor of making it ONLY about genitals. What a pathetic stance to take and one which history will judge them harshly on. What a waste of lives and money as well, that could be SO much better spent on far more important things.

[Darkbison7]

^^^like saving Darfur

[WarcowUshi]

I wonder why people would be mad about not getting the same rights, paying higher taxes, and having other federal restrictions placed on them because of who they love. That's quite a conundrum.

[Deanbass77]

Wow, you guys at NOM aren't very good at this whole hate speech thing are you? You are posting videos SUPPORTING the opposite side. Silly homophobes.

[rayningstars]

I was just thinking the same thing, lol

[DonChairmanMao]

Brian Brown at 3:53:

"...the next step will clearly be a federal lawsuit saying that an out-of-state same-sex marriage must be recognized in a state that doesn't CURRENTLY recognize same-sex marriage BECAUSE THE CONSTITUTION REQUIRES IT."

Does it come across to anyone else that he knows this law is just a stop-gap, to hold away the oncoming tide whereby we respect the constitution's orders, and that any states that do ban gay marriage only do so CURRENTLY (acceptance is inevitable?)

[bugabuse]

These bigots should be sent to iraqi terrorist camps.

[the5y5tem]

Bigots like yourself should be thrown off clifts.

[bugabuse]

What's a clift?

Oh yeah they don't exist, you fucking idiot. Kill yourself.

[the5y5tem]

Boohoo, did I strike a nerve despite my mistake now? What a sensitive piece of shit.

[jakxdd]

You should probably learn to shut the fuck up, dumbass.

[mrdougan]

Please review the Youtube's Terms of Services -

We encourage free speech and defend everyone's right to express unpopular points of view. But we do not permit hate speech (speech which attacks or demeans a group based on race or ethnic origin, religion, disability, gender, age, veteran status and sexual orientation/gender identity).

I believe denoucing gay marriage falls under this catergory

[the5y5tem]

Ah no, you just want it to fall into that category so that it can have the special protection status with it. Sexual orientation and getting married are not one in the same.

[kd1s]

So NOM issues takedowns because people are using their 'content' yet they can use NPR content and not have their vids yanked?

[duckmonsterX]

If these fascists issue a takedown notice, CHALLENGE IT.

You have a right to fair use, to 'quote' parts of other peoples contents to facilitate discussion. Thats a right enshrined in law, and these dicks can get in big trouble for using the DMCA as a method to supress debate.

But its not as if these people are about respecting other peoples rights, what with being a hate group and all that.

[HolyCloak]

May I just say that even slaves had the right to marry.

:/

[Sanophale]

You may just say that! Unfortunately, it's not true. "Slaves, being property, could not own property or be a party to a contract. Since marriage is a form of a contract, no slave marriage had any legal standing." (American Treasures of the Library of Congress: MEMORY, Slavery in the Capitol)

So slaves could only be married in the eyes of the church, not the state. Hence, they did not have the right (as a right is state-given) to marry.

[murchurl]

150 years ago they were against the abolition of slavery.

100 years ago they were against the emancipation of women.

50 years ago they were against inter racial couple marrying.

and today they are against gay marriage

Why must the church be dragged kicking and screaming towards the tolerance and love they claim to hold a monopoly on?

[pachecosita]

I am so happy that finally I matter in my country. All we want is what is ours. We pay taxes like you do. We pay even more than straight married couples. We want our rights reconized and we want it now

Go NPR great report and You see clearly that is all about our RIGHTS not more not less.

[Knuckles194]

It will be a good day when Obama over turns DOMA. And when he passes the Matthew Shepperd bill.

[JoannaO]

Bigots bigots bigots bigots bigots.

[CBGB42]

He said that the next step would be to have other states recognize gay marriage even if it wasn't legal in that state "because of the constitution". That damn constitution, making sure that people have equal protection of the law.

[hfutrell]

My God, why would NOM post this? Any rational person should consider this broadcast and the stories therin a strong argument FOR gay marriage.

[devotedpupa]

rational is the key there.

[monkey370]

The support for marriage is the fact that marriage is for procreation.

Well, may I ask, will you deny marriage to infertile couples? Will you take away choice? This is a smokescreen argument to disguise their bigotry and refusal to accept equality.

I quote Maggie Gallagher, the PRESIDENT of the Nation For Marriage organization when I say

Gay-marriage advocates hope to use the law to reshape the culture in exactly the same way that the law was used to reshape the culture of the old racist south

[Shaggy6386]

Every one of the their arguments is a smokescreen.

[BetterABleedingHeart]

What of it?

Banning same-sex marriage won't "protect" anything but your sense of heterosexual superiority.

It won't stop people from calling you bigots because you *are*.

It won't keep people from telling children that being gay is OK, because people who know it is will say it regardless of your oppressive laws.

It won't stop gay parenting because you don't require a marriage license to be a parent.

All a ban on same-sex marriage does is harm LGBT people and our families.

[xzxoxlx]

I don't understand the issues of people against gay marriage. They say marriage is a religious thing, but why aren't they complaining about the atheists and the agnostics getting married everyday? And then what about the churches/denominations of religions that recognize gay marriage (United Church of Christ)? Are they not allowed to recognize it because it goes against YOUR denomination/religion? We need to stop religion in politics, look what happens.

[passionatejus]

So what?

Check out Loving Vs Virginia.

You guys will lose soon; and sooner than later.

[jarrodtrainque]

DOMA is legislated bigotry, pure and simple.

We've seen this before in the opposition of the suffrage movement, enforcing separate-but-equal Jim Crow laws, or arguing against the abolishment of slavery.

Equal rights and protection for all is what progress looks like in a civilized society.

[Jacksonholenativ]

DOMA is bigotry masquerading as defending traditional marriage. DOMA is going down in flames.

[ericjsteidinger]

thanks for posting!

[kylegetsspam]

Discrimination sure is fun!

[crumbinator]

Barney Frank is absolutely correct. Fuck you, NOM.

[crumbinator]

disgusting.

[CitizenGeek]

Liars.

[Jacksonholenativ]

I HOPE AND PRAY THAT THE DEFENSE OF MARRIAGE ACT IS OVERTURNED!! I hope President Obama signs and supports the end of that bigoted act!

[paulahare2]

WHAT THE FUCK

[depfox]

Great Video very informative
