Obama has never taken action to prevent gays from marrying.

Think about that ... straight Christians have actually gone OUT OF THEIR WAY to limit the rights of gay people.

Obama ended DADT. Makes the far right crazy. Obama has come out for gay marriage and against DOMA, while the fake Christians go OUT OF THEIR WAY, to limit the rights of others.

The good news is that the fake Christians are dying out. Young people have figured out that the fake Christians use hate of "scary others" to stay in power.

But their time is coming to an end. And no amount of breaded chicken will slow that down. In fact, it probably accelerates the process.
