      <![CDATA[If you click on the link for "Flag of Equal Marriage" in David's post you'll see that the designer of this flag has added stars to reflect the order in which the state granting marriage equality was granted statehood. <br />
<br />
If the placement is off, then you should bring it up with the flag designer. Also, his web site shows the earlier versions of the flag - as more states 'add' marriage equality more stars will be added to the Flag of Marriage Equality.

      <![CDATA[Right, it's not complicated all you dumbasses.  In the lower right you have Vt. which is really close to WY that's why in this design you have a star for Vt. there in the lower right corner.  And that first star on the top row is obviously CT with IA next to it because the states of Delaware Georgia Florida Hawaii Illinois and Indiana just seceded didn't you know"  It's not that complicated you dumb asses stop fighting the starts are in order representing states okay?  It's not that complicated.  Jus like the earth being flat IT'S NOT THAT COMPLICATED OK!!!!!

      <![CDATA[<br>
I need some expert Gay Advice.<br>
<br>
I was watching a 1/2 hour presentation on Michael Jackson last night, and I was thinking...this guy is a 1980s Liberace.   I mean, it's so obviously gay, so over the top mincing with doilies gay, that it brilliantly hides the gayness.<br>
<br>
Like they bring on "Michael Jackson's Girlfriend From the Thriller Video".   Remember that girl?  No...of course not.  You're gay.   But every straight dude in the world remembers that girl in the black dress that Michael Jackson was singing to because she had the hottest bod ever.<br>
<br>
So then, they ask her -- did you have sex with Michael?   And she makes this excuse about how Michael couldn't because Brook Shields, his "real life girlfriend" was around and how could he do that!!<br>
<br>
Seriously, all that was missing from Neverland was a candelabra!  <br>
<br>
But don't take my word on it.    I call upon the experts.<br>
<br>
Michael Jackson:<br>
<br>
1) Effeminate Loverboy<br>
<br>
or<br>
<br>
2) Wishes he had a white piano and boa to match<br>
<br>
You tell me ?!?<br>

      <![CDATA[Sheesh. While I agree in patriotic lore or whatever, the stars do not represent particular states, it's obvious that here he's just doing them in alphabetical order left-to-right top-to-bottom. Alabama in the upper left, Wyoming in the lower right.  Not that complicated.
