If I could interrupt the echo chamber for just a minute, let me say this: I know quite a few Christians in the midwest who are not ignorant, fearful, or hateful who opposed gay marriage. They saw it as a “please man” vs. “please God” equation and chose the God side of it.
Please don’t think that they are all ignorant, fearful, and/or hateful. That is a gross overgeneralization.
Can you f’off and go gaze at your own navel somewhere else and let the rest of us have a single fucking day of victory in some things?
I’m a member of the People’s Liberation Front, personally.
I’m a member of the Popular Peoples Front of Judea. Wait, what? Guess I am just a little giddy today 
Obama needs an organist, from now on.

But isn’t this where the conversation, even at its most cordial, always breaks down?
A: “You can’t get married in our church!”
B: “okay, we will get married somewhere else.”
A: “You can’t do that either!!”
B: “The hell you talkin’ about?”
When it stops at line two, everything is fine. In fact the first couple of churches I looked at for my wedding didn’t allow me and my wife to get married there. (I’m not Catholic)
But they never said, “being a non Catholic you can’t get married anywhere”.

There are plenty of Christians that are very much in support of gay marriage and aren’t social conservatives at all.
Some Christians actually believe God loves all of his children.
You said it!
Bernie has my support, financial and otherwise. And check this out -
just the tip…
This.
Laws drag morality kicking and screaming into the present as much as they impose on modern society the prejudices of the past way longer than necessary, which is the best reason to do away with stupid laws that stupidly only apply to some people and not others.
They’re in the wrong. They’ll be remembered for being wrong by Christians and non Christians alike, they do not see the hateful thing they have supported as being hateful, I get that, but it is hateful.
FTFY and no, you may not.

Feel The Bern.
And, not to mention:
Well, I’m glum because my country can’t even get a bill for gay marriage up in Parliament 
But, for you Americans…
Given that the USA has a tendency to export its laws, (not in any uniform way of course) its a good thing, its a good thing all around.
If only this was in the TPP…
