Human rights: One nation under God: Equal Rights to all: especially the right to remain silent when being ignorant … All human beings deserve the right to love and be loved… basic rights- like getting married, raising children, working, paying taxes, sounds like human rights.. not straight rights…

F*** ***! Everyone has the right to love who they love. Love is love no matter who it is. If you don’t like gay marriage, don’t get gay married! Its that simple. It wont start a third world war it wont make heterosexuals gay and it wont make your children gay, the only thing that will happen will be that gay people will get married.

LGBT people used to trust Bill Clinton. Then came DOMA and DADT. So no, political innuendo is dead, as far as a way to communicate with regular, non-political people who are NOT politicians, and in fact HATE the way they do “business” (which is to screw it up for business owners and investors, whether Dem or GOP). So if you have something to say then just say it. I’m not going to spend my time trying to decipher a meaning that probably won’t be adhered to anyway. You want the world to protect our human rights? Then say that. No equivocation.

Oh darling, you’re retarded. He’s talking about human rights, he didn’t say anything about gay marriage because he’s on the fence with that. But you know human rights does include intolerance to hate crimes, such as those based upo racism and homophobia. Wow, no wonder our country is backwards. People like you vote and allow your ignorance to impede the clear judgment of those more influential. Please shut up until you deduce properly next time.

And thank God for people like you “straight Canadian woman”. I think it’s ridiculous that people in this day and age can still even think about, not just telling other people how to live their lives but to go as far as to voice their ignorant opinions and try and deny people their rights just because of what gender they are inevitably drawn to…… To these people I say, “get a life!”. Surely there must be something more important going on in your own little world that can occupy all this free time of yours! To each his own, gay people don’t lobby/protest to deny you of your rights so what are you really getting out of harming other people? And if the Christian agenda is your angle then let me put it to you like this, in the end do you think that God is going to praise you for being mean-spirited to another human being, or is he going to judge you with the same malice you showed them?

One may describe Obama’s speech to the U.N. as progress. It is commendable! However, I would like to hear Obama give a speech to these United States of America about “Gay rights dedicated to Human Rights.”

It’s called gay “marriage” is called “progress”, sister! Join the bandwagon or get the hell out and go move to your own hate-filled island somewhere far, far away….

What we need is to vote bigoted hate-mongering people like yourself out of this country!
