Prop. 8 Witness Changes Mind On Gay Marriage - Law Blog - WSJ

His change of heart rings a little hollow with me. It strikes me more as one of convenience, seeing that the "national elites" and a growing number of young Americans favour gay marriage.

I don’t believe that opposite-sex and same-sex relationships are the same, but I do believe, with growing numbers of Americans, that the time for denigrating or stigmatizing same-sex relationships is over.

Still, I suppose it's progress, right?

 

[Irvine511]

It does acknowledge the unavoidable truth: the vast majority of people who oppose SSM do so out of animus.

I understand most people don't want their kids to be gay. Believe me. I've lived that. But opposing gay marriage won't make your kids straight.

Oh noez, gay Oreos!!

How Could ANYONE Boycott A Cookie?!?!

 

[deep]

that's news

everybody knows, cookies are gay

 

[Moonlit_Angel]

Those comments make me sad.

On a lighter note, I kinda want to eat that cookie now .

I was just thinking how I don't even like Oreos but I'd eat them out of spite now.

 

[deep]

I am going to buy them and feed them to unsuspecting straight children.

 

[Caleb8844]

Y'know, I don't support SSM, but seeing things like that make me want to change my mind.

How is it that my 13yo sister who is failing Year 8 at high school is smarter than all of those people combined?

re: those Facebook comments

CHRIST, WHAT ASSHOLES.

 

[martha]

They'll be back. Store brand Oreos just aren't as good. Hydrox were better, but that ship has sailed.

How the hell does one even fail year 8?

 

[MrsSpringsteen]

I LOVE Oreos, even though I broke a tooth on one once. That stupidity makes me want to go out and eat a whole package even though I know I can't. I got a free package with a coupon last week and gave them to the food pantry. I hope they were straight and not gay.

I also can't believe Oreos have a Facebook page

 

[Jive Turkey]

I find the rainbow Oreo photo to be extremely offensive. Really Oreos? You're going to take a shot of one cream center and duplicate it several times without even attempting to diversify any imperfections, then crudely change the colour? Offensive

In related news; the Keebler Elves have repealed their "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy.

 

[Irvine511]

the Keelber Elves are even gayer than the 12 apostles.

Spain celebrates seven years of marriage equality today. It is yet to be wiped off the map by locusts.

 

[Moonlit_Angel]

Yeah, it's amazing how we haven't heard about massive downfalls of all these societies that legalized gay marriage yet, huh? They just seem to be going along as normally as they always have.

but it does have a high unemployment rate. i'm sure that's my fault somehow.

after all, i am responsible for out-of-wedlock births and the cyclical nature of poverty amongst inner-city African Americans as some people in here like to point out.

 

[corianderstem]

My, you've been busy!

But their nation wasn't built on Judeo-Christian values or something!

Funny that. It's almost as if the only consequence of legalising gay marriage was that gays could get married...

 

[Irvine511]

Well, if gay people can get married it will make life more difficult for those who don't believe that gay people should be allowed to get married because they will now live in a country where gay people can get married. I'm sure that must cause some passing discomfort.

Consider that as well.

Why is it that people who lean so heavily on constitutional amendments.. amendments... find it so hard to change when it comes to gay marriage?

 

[ladyfreckles]

Why is it that people who lean so heavily on constitutional amendments.. amendments... find it so hard to change when it comes to gay marriage?

Because it interferes with their personal belief system and their personal belief system is more important than science or human rights.

The Gay Agenda?

 

[Irvine511]

The Gay Agenda?

my existence *does* single-handedly destroy 5,000 years of tradition, you know.

if Memphis and i get married, INDY will be kissing an uncircumcised man before 2014.
