^^I don't know if Obama is gay or not (obviously). But there are is a rather vivid Internet mythology that proposes he is a bisexual freak. It's as compelling (and hilarious) as some shipperdom.

It's funny that he has come out with the same position as I have on this vote, yet he's lionized and I'm called "garbage." He believes it's an issue that should be decided by the states. If he considered it a Civil Rights issue, it would be unconscionable for a liberal to not think this is a matter of Federal jurisdiction. It would, essentially, be coming out on the side of State's Righters over Brown vs. Board. Like Obama, I'm sure, I believe that Bv.B is good law, is good Constitutional law, is right. This is an essentially Liberal perspective on my part and his. (I cite W.T. Lhamon's life-changing book DELIBERATE SPEED as my source for this reasoning.)

Like Obama, if given the opportunity to vote for this in the state of my residence, I would vote to include same-sex unions under the definition of "civil marriage."

Like Obama ALWAYS has, I would be against having the definition of marriage be cemented in the Constitution (thus, again, not a Civil Right).

Like Obama, I presume (at least officially), I do not think that those who oppose gay marriage are equivalent to the White Supremacists pictured here (gay people can't procreate; so the Satanic fear of miscegenation doesn't really analogize to my mind).

Unlike Obama, of course, I just don't believe in "Civil Marriages." (Admittedly, I may be wrong in how I've weighed the pros and cons of Civil Marriages--but I'm only one vote.)

Fleetwood Mac helped me through a time of heartbreak. 12 years later, they broke my heart.
