Don't worry. They're just digging themselves deeper at this point. Just think how people like that will feel in 10 years when approval for SSM is over 70%.

The numbers do look pretty good overall though. I don't think we'll win in every state, but I won't be at all surprised if we do. Public opinion really has changed for the better.

Lead out in cuffs posted:No I meant more along the lines of the urban/rural partisan split. As I understand it, the urban areas are more left leaning, and at the same time had longer queues to vote, so are the last to report. Congrats to everyone in all four states!

fade5 posted:The pure unadulterated RAGE from the right when same-sex marriage is legalized will be absolutely delicious to watch. Freep will be an absolute hive of hatred, and it will be great.

Also, it's not exactly funny, but I'm pretty certain at least one super-neoconservative will actually kill themselves when same-sex marriage is legalized. I'd be sad, but gently caress YOU.

ponzicar posted:The rituals and celebrations lines is also funny, considering how many gay marriage opponents mistakenly think that legal gay marriage would force their church to perform gay marriages, when all it changes is who is considered married under the law.

katium posted:Jon Huntsman, one of the GOP candidates for president in the last election, now supports marriage equality. It's actually a bad thing if you're a progressive that wants to keep them out of power. As long as Republicans continue to stand against the inexorable tide of progress on this issue, the more toxic their particular brand will remain and the longer they'll remain out of power.  Kudos to the man personally, but I bet Huntsman will be excommunicated by his party over this.

Lutha Mahtin posted:Voter turnout skews older in years without a Presidential election. So it seems like a poor strategy for them to not wait until 2016. Especially since a loss next year would mean they'd have to wait a while to put it on the ballot again, to avoid knee-jerk "they won't shut up about this" opposition. For both Same Sex Marriage and Pot Legalization, it's ill advised to even attempt to make progress in the midterm elections. Only the elderly reliably bother to show up for elections that don't have POTUS on the ballot. Btw, I keep seeing a lot of pessimistic expectations for the upcoming SCOTUS ruling. I think a lot of people are going to be pleasantly surprised when it comes in.

What really happens is that they all see it plain as day, but no one dares to mention it out of fear that everyone else will think that their mind is full of impure thoughts. That's how repressed religious people work. Take this for example: Not one of them had the balls to say "Ummm, guys? We have a double entendre on our hands here". So they ended up looking like idiots that are completely lacking in self-awareness, just like the FRC.

FlamingLiberal posted:So everyone's favorite professional Old Man, John McCain, is afraid that passing ENDA will lead to 'reverse discrimination', and compared the bill to forced busing of children from black neighborhoods into white ones, which is just a little bit offensive... At least he switched it up a bit. The usual response is something along the lines of "We can't pass that right now with SOOOOOOOO may other things to worry about at the moment, like the economy..."

Twelve by Pies posted:Look, I have two daughters who have not known a man; let me bring them out to you, and do to them as you please; only do nothing to these men, for they have come under the shelter of my roof.” - Genesis 19:8 I remember reading that in Genesis as well. It's pretty clear that that is exactly what it means, especially in light of Sodom & Gomorrah's "historical reputation". It couldn't mean anything else. Trying to interpret it in any other way is a bizarre stretch that smacks of an agenda. We all know perfectly well that most, if not all, of the writers of the Old & New Testaments weren't exactly sex positive.

Equine Don posted:The governor of Kansas issued an executive order to allow for state employees to be discriminated against (if they're LGBT) Just like it says n the article, his aggressive tax cutting has put the state in such colossally deep financial poo poo that it's an obvious ploy to draw attention away from Kansas' economy. That, and he's desperately trying to shore up support with his regressive base so that even they don't eventually turn against him as the state's problems keep getting worse and worse.

Chris James 2 posted:I could see Huckabee or Santorum being on suicide watch over the country getting legal gay marriage Are you kidding? They've been training for this their entire lives. This is it. It's here. The Book of Revelations is actually coming true. It's time to fill an entire football stadium with a loyal flock of 100k and sing "Onward Christian Soldiers" as they make final preparations for The Rapture. Don't forget to buy an Apocalypse Preparedness Kit and a copy of the Ronald Reagan Bible while you're there!

 Aaaaaand if you had actually bothered to read The Macaroni's entire post, you would have noticed: The Macaroni posted:"Though LGBT people hold many city, county and state offices in the United States, none has served as governor while also being out. New Jersey Gov. Jim McGreevy came out as gay in 2004 then promptly resigned amid revelations that he had given his male lover a state job. Out gay man and former state representative Mike Michaud was the Democratic nominee for governor of Maine last year but lost."

Midnight Voyager posted:With the numbers, shittier people would probably say it's their fault for being gay or whatever. I imagine it's the latter. I hate to say it, but that's pretty much a hallmark of conservative thinking on most social and economic issues. Conservatives absolutely hate your group(poor people, gays, etc) in the abstract, but are then forced to truly examine those inculcated biases once they actually meet you face to face.

Polaron posted:Quoting something someone in another forum said to me because I am so completely unable to formulate a response Ask them how they feel about the existing legal precedent* wherein the sitting POTUS had to send in the National Guard to force the sitting governor of Alabama to stop physically blocking a doorway(with his own loving body) so that black kids could go to school. Watch the mental contortions in real time!  * At least I think so. Please don't crucify me too hard if I have that wrong.

Lutha Mahtin posted:yes, a call for moderation from a goon who, in this thread alone, has generally referred to religious people and their beliefs as "pure bullshit", "literal insanity", "invisible man in the sky", and repeatedly ColdPie was admonishing them for using rape metaphors. That's significantly different than you being butthurt about that same poster dissing on your religious beliefs in other posts. Nintendo Kid posted:Reading someone's previous posts in the very same thread isn't "dredging up poo poo". It's completely on point to point out when someone's being a mondo hypocrite.
