And I expect Romney to have a strongly worded non-position as soon as he determines what he thinks is most likely to get him elected depending on which particular slice of the electorate he's courting today, then to reverse himself, then to take full credit when marriage equality finally reaches its tipping point.
There's a tiny annoying pessimist inside me warning that this will make it harder for state-level Republicans to vote for state same-sex marriage bills. Fortunately he's mostly being drowned out by a much louder voice in a fabulous tux and a white rose on his lapel. Fuck. Yes.
Bless you, Stranger commenters. You brought me back to my happy place after looking at the hateful, bigoted, fucking idiot dumbass motherfuckers on Fox Nation (editors included--assholes). So, thanks.
This is not about "growing real balls." This is a cold political calculation: with the repugs doubling down on the crazy and hatred, Obama needs to connect to the base while playing at fairness, rationality, etc. There is no easier way to do this than supporting gay marriage. The haters were never going to vote for him so why not? (Might just make some of you forget what a truly shitty president he has been. Renditions, warrantless wiretapping and persecution of muslims anyone?)
It's heartwarming to see that a majority of FOX readers find their slant in the coverage of this story to be "offensive". Maybe FAUX-newsies aren't such terrible people after all.
Know what? I'm gay and am SO glad we can now (perhaps) put more focus on other issues. Religions are just great, but they can be changed in mere seconds. One is not born Christian or Jewish, etc. It's an overlay. Sexuality isn't. Animals prove this time and time again. Love is love. President Obama knows this in his heart. I am so lucky to be living in this time!!! OBAMA/BIDEN2012
Let the haters explode in all their technicolor shame, and let all the good people in the undecided middle see them for that they are: bigoted haters.
File under the 'Give 'Em Enough Rope' category...
Seriously, though, this might be my favorite headline of all time.
"the president described his thought process as an “evolution” that led him to this place"
Let's make a video montage of them.
"OBAMA FLIP FLOPS, DECLARES PEACE ON MARRIAGE"
good to see Obama growing real balls

I especially liked the long, long scroll of all the corrections they had to make... Baseball is a land-based sport. snerk
Even FOX is befuddled by this one. http://andrewsullivan.thedailybeast.com/
