the crying man in a red sweater is straight. On behalf of his lesbian sister, he had devoted hundreds of hours to canvassing for gay marriage. how can people look at this and say tat this should be banned. Have u ever seen a straight man cry in happiness when you ban gay marriage ?

Do these look like morally disgusting people? No. Wake up if you haven't already. Homosexuals are people just like everyone else.

I was there that night after devoting most of my senior year of college to the 2009 campaign I drove back up from MA, where I'm in grad school, and it was possibly the best night of my life. I'm so blessed I was able to be there.

I would prefer it across the country so the freedom is not rammed in one place. You seem to be getting mad...should we stop this conversation...?

[5rampit]

Why would it? And so what if it did??!!

So legalize gay marriage nation wide and this debate is over, ya know??

I'm just saying I don't want it to become the north east gay marriage destination. That's all.
