I wish to heck the student would have asked if she supported GSAs in school -- if we all have the same civil rights, then the right to assembly and free speech is protected, right?

Missed opportunity. Dang.

Wish I could copy this picture directly in here. Anybody know how?

Gotta love the irony here. She may be a hypocrite on every other issue, but when it comes to asking gay men to marry women, she leads by example.

NO You can't take my women you pretty well groomed gay men!

She doesn't say gay men should marry women.

She said gay men have the right to marry women, just as straight men do.

You're welcome.

She is 100% right. Why do we need federal bureaucrats in Washington DC set any kind of policy for people in Oklahoma? Don't the people in Oklahoma have enough brains to do it themselves?

If a majority of voters in Oklahoma wanted to take away the vote from blacks or women, is that acceptable too?

"Government only sensors religious speech in schools, why is that?"

The US was founded on a principle of separating church and state. (I think there's something somewhere in the US constitution about that, somewhere after "all men are created equal" maybe?) The state has taken responsibility to ensure that all citizens can access a certain minimum of education regardless of background. Therefore, religion is left out of the state funded education.

I'm not even American and I know that; and lady, if you don't, you aren't qualified to run the country.

obnoxious crowd is obnoxious

I love the smattering of bigoted clapping from the white washed drones.

Bachmann is a dumb c**t.

^I thought that was funny too. There is one person who tries to start applause after every single sentence.

I have a question Mrs. Bachmann!!!11 First, why are you so F'ckin dumb? Second, how did you get this far in life?

The fact that we largely fought a Civil War over the rights of states to continue the practice of slavery should be enough evidence that local governments are not always able to govern objectively or fairly in accordance with our Constitution.

I just wish they let the gays marry already, because honestly it really doesn't effect anything beyond some people being offended. And I could really give a damn. As long as they don't take gay marriage as some sort of sign to be out all public display of affectioning every chance they get, don't care at all. And that's not even a bash against two guys/girls PDAing, I just don't like seeing massive PDA stuff going on in public locations. You really don't need to be making out, grab assing and trying to head to second or third base while everyone watches. It's not even the grab ass, it's just they are in the way or moving too slowly because they are too busy trying to stick their tongues down each others throats. Same opinion on cell phone addicts, put it away or move out of the way so you stop holding everyone up.

Plus, if they allow gay marriage, Im hoping we can finally stop hearing about it. If they want to marry a lamp, let em marry a damn lamp. Besides I see "marriage" as a religious institution backed by government, they could just as easily have partnerships or bonded pairs or ball and chain mean the same thing as marriage in the view of the law. And while it wouldn't technically be marriage in the religious sense, they'd still have all the rights for insurance coverage etc. Because if these religions supported gay marriage we wouldn't have all these "Christians" running on a platform of stopping gay marriage, so bypass religion, get your rights under another name refer to it as marriage because in the eyes of the law it would be the same.

Marriage to me means you need a piece of paper and a ring to say you care, but I do recognize that having legal bonds might be beneficial for ownership, insurance, and medical emergency choices. They should focus on their legal bonds, stop referring to it as marriage to appease these ignorant assholes and then after it's in place call it whatever the hell they want. And then promptly stop talking about it, it's important to them I realize but man.....both sides are beating that drum like it's a very important topic that has long lasting ramifications. It doesn't unless you want it to.

Besides the way I see it, more gays married. Less Maury "You ARE the father" shows. And I think that's a win for everyone.

I'm starting to think that it's too much work to try and help this country out of it's idiocy. How's europe doing? Is Sweden or Germany a better alternative for thinking people?

Michelle Bachmann is simply another deluded christian bigot.

"Remember, every American citizen has the right to avail themselves of marriage, but they have to follow what the laws are, and the laws are you marry a person of the same skin colour."
