BiBottomBoy Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 No surprise. Obama said during the campaign that he was pro civil unions and against same sex marriage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BeachBoy Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 Does anyone here listen to This American Life? A short bit ago they had a really fascinating story about the Freedom Riders. And they were talking about how lots of people - including big wigs in the civil rights movement - thought the timing was wrong, or that they should maybe not do it for such a sustained time, and lots of other things. It reminded me of what a lot of people think about gay rights - and, sometimes, I'll admit, how I feel too. But after I heard what the Freedom Riders did, I got all jazzed all over again to just keep pushing it until it gets done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
