As much as I don't see the point of Gay Marriage, this event proves to me how selfish black people are. They are only doing things to benefit themselves. Look at how they treat women and homosexuals, ironically, those 2 factions have always helped the blacks.

That's a myth that gays help blacks. A few icons chat up race issues, but the gay community is overwhelmingly racist. I think it's a double standard that you would call blacks selfish for not helping gays, but don't seem concerned that gays could care less about anything beyond getting married- an issue that only benefits rich white gays who want a tax break on their six figure incomes. They do little to help the poorer, inner city members of their community.

Yeah, it's Adam and Eve, not Tyrone and Eve, so we should also ban Interracial right?

Shame on you african-americans.
The gay community would never have done the same towards you.

i dont understand why they pay attention to race when taking in votes, and why they would bother to figure out what percent of what race voted for what side...

blue:
copying and pasting does not make you smart. I know it feels like it, but it doesn't. Reading and understanding makes you smart.

You can't skip that step.
