Obama Says Same-Sex Marriage Should Be Legal

[The Brain]

I'm a Southerner who supports gay marriage. How embarrassing. 

Recreational fabulousness will do that.

[Lettow77]

 I'll not be so foolish as to let my own feelings on the matter keep me from doing the wrong thing. Like Southerners of old, I shall rally around the flag and support my region as it holds to practices and beliefs discredited elsewhere and act without regard for my own self-interest because i've been duped by a populist nationalism. "My country, right or wrong!" is an important mantra when your country insists on being wrong more often than not.

It's so delicious!

Edit: On that note, I think Alabama's state motto Audemus jura nostre defendere is old and busted. Working replacement is Audemus jura privare. What do you think, languish?

I wonder when gay marriage will stop being a political issue, rehashed during every elections? Will Republicans drop it as a point once it gets passed nationally, or do you think they will make attempts for a while to reverse it?

Are no-sex marriages legal in America?

They're both legal and common.

[fhdz]

It's one of those issues that doesn't really affect the machinery of government.

Reverse it.

Maybe. Speaking from experience (gar marriage as well as adoption are allowed in Belgium) I can say that the issue drops of the radar faster than a rock from a mountain once it's in place. So gays can marriage, who cares. It's amazing how fast the new becomes the normal.

You have to remember that Republicans take up issues that would normally be dropped off the radar in 1912.

That's certainly been the case in Canada.

I can tolerate gar civil unions, but I do not want to see gars marrying any time in my lifetime.  Goddamned sturgeon wanna-bes

[Valmy]

What's going to get passed nationally?

Federal recognition of gay marriages by States that perform them.  That would really be all it would take wouldn't it?  Then every gay marriage may or may not require a road trip at some point.

[Admiral Yi]

What's going to get passed nationally?

Spousal benefits for federal employees.
