The President is in the White House because of the civil rights movement, and I was a leader in that movement, nd I didn’t march one inch, one foot, one yard for a man to marry a man or a woman to marry a woman,” he said at the National Press Club.


some people in mississippi during the past week were saying that you and your wife would not be married in their church because you're black. They've already forced a couple to have to change churches in order to get married. So is that alright--being that you can't help who/how you were born, right? Stripping the civil rights from one group is fine as long as it's not your group?

And here's the thing: There were plenty of gays and lesbians WHO MARCHED ALONG SIDE OF YOU FOR EQUAL CIVIL RIGHTS. How dare you make this all about you? You didn't march alone, you pride-filled asshole!

No one said YOU had to marry them. There are plenty of pastors in plenty of good, upright churches out there who are more than willing to marry them and that is what this whole push is about. Stop making it all about you and your low-down church. No one cares about you.
