Obama Endorses Same-Sex Marriage, Internet Responds with a Quickness

By Paul Friswold Wed., May 9 2012 at 5:11 PM

The media is the message.

Well that was fast. President Obama officially came out in support of same-sex marriage today, immediately touching off shouting and gnashing of teeth and cheers and whatnot nationwide. People are gettin' emotional out there.

Almost immediately, Tumblr leaped into the breach with the crowd-sourced site, When Obama Endorsed Same-Sex Marriage.

This is now your one-stop source for all positive Facebook reaction posts on the topic until further notice. If I might offer a critique, it needs more Joe Biden. He was first on the record, after all.

In the meantime, congratulations to all my LGBTQ brothers and sisters out there. Missouri still has its hateful gay marriage ban amendment, but progress is being made.

Why does anyone care if LBGT people get married? It doesn't affect you in any way, and by opposing it, you are openly rejecting someone's right to be happy. This is a big announcement and a proud moment in American history, where the government makes the first move to stop a widespread oppression of fellow citizens.

Why do we still isolate murderers, rapists, child molestors, thieves..... from the rest of society? It doesn't affect you in any way, and by opposing it, you are openly rejecting someone's right to be happy. If everything is just one big happy party, people should be allowed to do whatever they want. All laws oppress someone and it's time to do away with laws.

Why wouldn't he support homosexuals he spent a LOT of time at gay bathhouses with Rahm Emanuel and was well known for liking to smoke pole. Remember Larry Sinclair? Oh that's right liberals and jews demanded that story be buried so that the pole smoker could make it up to the Massa's House.
