A movement backed by people like Elton John and Jason Meraz, I'll let the site explain for you:
[quote]
The Give a Damn Campaign is for everybody who cares about gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender equality.
But, it’s especially for all you straight people out there! Whether you’re already an active supporter, want to show your support for the first time, or hadn’t given equality a lot of thought before and now want to learn more, we are here to help you get informed about the issues and get involved, at a pace that works for you.
You’ll find a lot of useful information throughout this site—information that’ll engage you, surprise you and move you. You will also find a bunch of ways to get involved and show your support and encourage your straight peers to show theirs as well.
For all you gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender folks—we need and want you here, too! Because this site is also for you. Not only will you learn new things that might surprise and interest you, you’ll also find a lot of useful tools and resources that will help you encourage the straight people in your life to give a damn.
Like we said, the Give a Damn Campaign is for everyone. Because the only way we can truly achieve equality for all is if we all get informed and get involved. So join us today and let us know you give a damn![/quote]
If you do anything first, I say read through the personal stories. They are really touching, sometimes saddening stuff. It's awesome to see a mainstream movement that are trying to get more straight people involved in this issue, and to have it back by well-known people.
It's like those gay straight alliance clubs but online
There's a section for that. It's called [url=http://www.facepunch.com/forumdisplay.php?f=344]Lifestyles and Hobbies[/url].
Not quite as sympathetic, though.

If you want gay marriage, don't get the flamiest people there are to endorse it (Elton john).

Goddamn black people keep on yelling about how they are getting lynched and getting less-than-equal rights.

if you ignore the religious wingnuts, you'd generally be left with most of the population generally neutral with homosexuals.
well, from what i see in day-to-day life.

Don't mind me, I'm annoyed by anybody that complains, but I think the only way to get people to stop complaining is to do the right thing, which is why I'm pro-gay marriage.
If I wasn't so annoyed about people complaining I wouldn't give 2 shits

Your over-privileged whining about how you're forced to endure the knowledge that other people are less fortunate than you is WAY more annoying than gay people

Hurf durf pleez sign up on dis site for pepole who liek to put their junk in peepoles butts thnx :downs:
[QUOTE=fenwick;21134053]The future of America, folks.[/QUOTE]
Look, most people are like me. That's why we have a republic here, because people can't be bothered enough to make decisions for themselves because we're too busy trying to keep ourselves and our families happy. Most people will tell you that they're pro-gay marriage because it's the right thing to do, which is their honest opinion, and fact. However, these people have other things to do and either don't have the time, or don't care enough to do anything. Even some gay people don't care, and the ones that do also can't be bothered to do shit. If you want gay marriage, elect a pro-gay senator, congressman, or president, because god knows ordinary people aren't going to do anything.

:911:
It doesn't take very long to form an opinion on something like this. There really are just two sides to the argument.
"Gay marriage is a debasement of traditional marriage"
VS
"It isn't", and/or "gay people should be allowed to do what they want because it's their own life"
...and you obviously have enough time to form a true opinion on it, since you are taking time to complain about it.

Yea, like the masses will do shit.
You don't need to bring attention to 'the masses' because from birth, you've already set your opinion. Either you're pro-gay marriage or anti-gay marriage. the only thing that decides it is your parents. If your parents tell you that gay marriage is immoral at a young age, you're never going to abandon that belief.
Trust me, everybody is aware. It's just that nobody cares.
For example:
Is a single one of you going to write a letter to the president or congressman or senator just because you saw this website? No. You probably will now just to prove me wrong, but chances are every single one of you is either too busy or too lazy to actually do something. You may care about gay marriage, but you won't do shit. And it's not our job to do shit, it's our job to get shit done so the people whose job it is to do shit can continue doing shit.

Bold is wrong.
By the way I'm going to register because it means that I can support gay marriage without having to do anything. Just like the rest of you.

I would try to talk some sense into you, but your head is so far up your ass that I think sound waves can't penetrate.
