Tennessee Restaurant Throws Out Anti-Gay Lawmaker

82. Who's giving him a "pass"?

I am irritated as hell that he will not make a strong positive statement in support of marriage equality.

However as you well know actions are louder than words. Obama's actions have consistently been in support of equal rights for gays, including full partnership rights for same-sex couples.

I have heard other politicians make similar statements about their religious beliefs about marriage. The difference is that most of those politicians follow through with egregious policy proposals and anti-gay legislation.

Obama is not the first person to have his thinking fucked up by religion. However, If you cannot distinguish between Obama's actions and views on gay rights as a whole, and Campbell's actions and views on gay rights, this is a problem with your thinking.

That's what my Mom used to call cutting your nose off to spite your face.

It isn't that "Obama is not as bad as Campfield" as you said.

It is that Campfield and his ilk are the mortal enemies of GLBT. While Obama is one of GLBT's allies, despite the his dumb/muddled statements on marriage equality.

Additionally the "god is in the mix" statement isn't the last word.

I am ready for him to fucking evolve his thinking already. Everybody who wants to get married should have the right to marry.

P.S. I know what DOMA is.
