This legislation would uphold the principle that the federal government should not deny gay and lesbian couples the same rights and legal protections as straight couples. The President has long called for a legislative repeal of the so-called Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA), which continues to have a real impact on the lives of real people -- our families, friends and neighbors.[/quote] Sounds good to me.

Oh Glaaaaaaaaber...
[QUOTE=Awesomecaek;31229259]inb4 assassination attempt[/QUOTE] There's been a few even before he was president.
Glaber and [sluggo] incoming in 3...2...1....
can't wait for Fox's/ Glaber's/ sluggo's spin on this. But it's nice to hear some non-homophobic news out of the U.S
Yes, you(USA) can.
[QUOTE=Awesomecaek;31229259]inb4 assassination attempt[/QUOTE] Theres already been Assassination attempts on him, wasn't there a neo nazi group planning an assassination? anyway, nice to see some progress.
It doesn't have a single Republican cosponsor in the House
[QUOTE=RichyZ;31229575]right when or before he was elected a neonazi group made plans to assassinate him but they were shit at keeping secrets[/QUOTE]They suck at it because they're stupid rednecks.
With the UN's support of this, it should be easier to break this one though. I just hope people's acceptance increases with the new acts, too, no pun intended.
[QUOTE=smurfy;31229586]It doesn't have a single Republican cosponsor in the House[/QUOTE] go figure
Respect for marriage act. What an awesome name. [editline]20th July 2011[/editline] You also cant pronounce it in an attempt to make it sound stupid.
A Democratic president supporting marriage equality is news?
[QUOTE=Nikota;31229728]Respect for marriage act. What an awesome name. [editline]20th July 2011[/editline] You also cant pronounce it in an attempt to make it sound stupid.[/QUOTE]Yeah it is an awesome name. Should really be something like "Respect for People Act" or something.

[QUOTE=scotland1;31229871]how can the whitehouse allow this[/QUOTE]Nobody said the government was full of smart people...

Good man, that Obama. [QUOTE=Smug Bastard;31229274]Oh Glaaaaaaaaber...[/QUOTE] did he like, die? Haven't seen him in a while.
[QUOTE=J!NX;31230122]Good man, that Obama. did he like, die? Haven't seen him in a while.[/QUOTE] Nah. Every time we kill him he comes back for a sequel.
[QUOTE=Nikota;31230154]Nah. Every time we kill him he comes back for a sequel.[/QUOTE] So he's like the regenerator from Dead space? more annoying as hell than scary, and impossible to get arid of. No matter how much ammo you put into him, he just doesn't stop.
[QUOTE=J!NX;31230122]Good man, that Obama. did he like, die? Haven't seen him in a while.[/QUOTE] He made one of his wonderful threads just yesterday.
"BUT THE BIBLE SAYS MARRIAGE IS BETWEEN A MAN AND A WOMAN!" Every time I explain shit to those kind of people the shut me off. :( Does anyone else go blank when you're around so many stupid people saying that shit at once?

He also looks down on hate and intolerance.
I wish we'd do same-sex marriage in the UK. We already have civil partnerships, and it's very clear that if the government said "we're going to do this" no one would mind. They just need to do it. They're making slow progress though, it looks like it will probably be done before the next election
This will not happen in the current session of Congress. Period.
[QUOTE=Used Car Salesman;31230465]This will not happen in the current session of Congress. Period.[/QUOTE] What if he pulled a Roosevelt and said "Fuck you shit were doing this. Boner sit in the corner!"
Does he also support the "A Religious Ceremony Shouldn't Hold A Legal Status. Here, We're Giving You A Legal Form of Marriage Act"? (Working title)
[QUOTE=Nikota;31230506]What if he pulled a Roosevelt and said "Fuck you shit were doing this. Boner sit in the corner!"[/QUOTE] Everyone would go apeshit. Obama doesn't have the same respect Roosevelt had.
