According to the polls even that 'half' of the country isn't so hot on him.

They might not be hot on him but if he were to get nominated (as unlikely as that may be) this is one of those things that will rally the fuck out of the right. Republicans are going to exploit the hell out of the issue as they have in the past.

Half? Please tell me you are joking?

Maybe not him specifically and not exactly half but pretty much any Republican nominee and many will agree with him even if they won't come right out and say it and hide being the "state's rights" bullshit.

Gay marriage has come to America thanks to Ohio, BTW. Today's decision came on a case brought by an Ohioan, James Obergefell. The case's name is "OBERGEFELL, ET AL. v. HODGES, DIRECTOR, OHIO DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH, ET AL."

The people against gay marriage who brought the state constitutional amendment to Ohio voters in 2004 that banned gay marriage actually caused the eventual legalization of gay marriage for the entire nation. Irony!

Suddenly, I feel proud to be an Ohioan.

Spoiler

But if I was of voting age in 2004 and voted against the ban, I would have been doing the wrong thing?

TIME PARADOX

Shit just got real

We don't want to murder the gay people, George.

Damn it why couldn't this come just before the Boston Pride Parade. Would have loved to have seen that.
Great news.

I hate this state.

And just like the Berlin guards opened the gates and did the right thing, the county clerks should do as well.

 

[HylianTom]

anyone got any links to some juicy right wing salt mines

An overwhelming percentage of the new threads at FreeRepublic are centered around this decision.

Most of the gay rights threads are archived under the "HomosexualAgenda" tag at the top of the screen.

My big brother just came out on Facebook, and it was due to this decision.

I am tearing up just because I am so happy that he doesn't feel the need to hide it anymore. I had no idea.

 

[Raistlin]

FTFY -

that is amazing LOL

 

[TheOddOne]

Fuck yes.

 

[Choppasmith]

Wonderful news, can't wait to see all the salt.

That is. Wow. Fucking huge. Congrats US!
Hopefully Europe will follow suite, the part that hasn't already.

Seems pretty accurate to me (Birdo is a dude, actually)

 

[Ourobolus]

The salt from the right-wing websites is sustaining me today. I don't even think I need lunch.

 

[Bloomers]

This last news I expected to day but damn if it isn't fucking fantastic news.
Is there a specific website where you guys are getting the images of couples?

 

[offtopic]

Shit just got real

just spit my coffee all over the desk. thanks.

 

[danm999]

Congrats USA.

Hoping this ruling pushes the fossils in my country's parliament (Australia) to follow suite given our populace majority supports a similar move. Not holding my breath though.

 

[Eyeron]

Hannity's Facebook page comments are really something. Biblical meltdowns. Delicious.

 

[MajorMane]

A picture of Birdo, yeah, I could see that. But throwing Yoshi in there just seems kind of weird.

EDIT: Though, that could just be me over-analyzing things (probably is) and it's just a picture of Yoshi. So, uh, forgive any of my talks about it and just enjoy the picture?

How George Wallace of him... Will he stand out front of the Jackson clerks office and try to block entry?

Speaking of which even the governor of Alabama said he'd obey a Federal ruling.

Too bad that one subreddit to troll gaf was shut down. I'd very much like to taste their tears over this.. but I guess there's always Free Republic.

Homophobes have tried to make every facet of life difficult for me and I sure as fuck am glad they're having a bad day.

Fuckin' A, man. Fuckin' A!

Since armageddon is coming, I wonder if I should just take the rest of the day off. Might as well be at the beach to see the fire and brimstone. Not like the A/C in here is going to do much.

I wonder if I worked for a really religious boss, then I'd actually be able to use that excuse. "Gotta call in sick, boss. The overwhelming stench of sulfur is really messing with my allergies."


Listening to the people opposing this decision is so much fun. But I need to stay away, otherwise I'll end up wasting my time arguing with idiots and trolls.

Texas is gay cowboy central. Not to mention our major metropolitan areas are liberal havens, or should I say, gayvens!

It's really the bumblefuck-nowhere areas that are conservative areas. If it weren't for all the gerrymandering, this would be a swing state if not fully blue.

I know, which is why it's always frustrating to read comments about Texas from people who have never set foot in the state.

 

[ElectricBlanketFire]

Really interested to see Nintendo's response to this, if any.

It's all the same to the Many-Faced God.

If it weren't for all the gerrymandering, this would be a swing state if not fully blue.

State-wide elections seem to disagree.

It's kinda sad this was 5-4 but still, WOO!!

Great news.

Many cities are having their pride weekends this weekend. Think Boston and Denver had theirs last weekend...and probably some others...majority are this weekend. So happy this decision came out today.

 

[Zornack]

Can't wait to see which Republican Presidential candidates come out in favor of a constitutional amendment. The primaries are going to be super fun to watch.

 

[TyrantGuardian]

Fucking yessssssssssssssssssssss. Congratulations to all you Americans. Truly the best of times to be alive, though everything is still far from utopian.

US Gay! US Gay! <3

 

[Wanderer5]

Wow 5-4, kind of sad to see it so close for something like this, but whatever this is awesome news!

Here in Nebraska, Governor Ricketts didn't make himself seem really stupid for a change:



Unfortunately the Attorney General did not...

Our Attorney General has become so right wing it's unreal

I live in Cali. I'm waiting for the state to split in half at the San Andreas Fault.
