now if we can only have gay marriage everywhere....equality for all.

Excellent. What a heart this man has. And the vision to go with it.

@Masteroiece Would walking down the street and seeing two men or women holding hands and being happy affect your day? Would it bother you, knowing that two men or women were in love and enjoy being together? Are you happy not supporting a completely correct love between two people, who just happen to be the same sex? How would it even affect you? It shouldn't matter what you do in bed, love is love.

I think the reason no laws have changed as of yet is because there will be too many people opposing to that change. If you lay down a law that too many citizens disagree with, riots, attacks and rebellion start. America- along with the rest of the world- need to give citizens time to be comfortable with the idea first.

It won't be 100% successful- people still believe black people are inferior- but soon enough gay marriage will become legal.

This, is honestly the only reason I like Obama.

Bugger.

I thought he was just another crazy politician only in it for his own ego.

I was wrong. I will pay more attention to what he has to say.
