I dunno. I just feel like he owes gay people SOMETHING after this.

It's just really eh... gay people are hurting.

Gay people aren't even the new black people because black people had strong polticians who said "Fuck popular opinion... this is wrong."

Gay people are more like the jews before the holocaust or something.

 

I'm sorry, you really need to gain some perspective ...

Systemic prejudice and genocide are several orders of magnitude worse than being able to live your life exactly as you choose to, will full equal rights to everything other people have with the only real negative being an argument over a definition.

Are peopel ignoring where i said before the holocaust?

Although gay people are systematically rounded up and killed in many parts of the world.

 

 

 

You missed the point entirely ...

With the exception of a little piece of paper, a homosexual couple has exactly the same rights as a heterosexual couple. For thousands of years this piece of paper didn't exist and marriage was the exclusive domain of the church, and people survived. In what way is this "Systemic Prejudice" that is similar in scale to anything that Black people faced before the civil rights movement, or Jewish people faced before the hollocaust?

Except... tax rights, housing rights,

heck you can just not hire people because they're gay in america in a lot of states.

You have full legal rights in like... 41 of 50 states to discriminate against people beceause they're gay.

The only difference is gay people can "hide" so to speak.

Obama should at least try and push through ENDA.  I mean that's already in the congress.

Not being covered by the Civil Rights Act is near those levels... it's well more then just that.

Though marriage was never the exclusive domain of the church.  I mean marriage predates recorded history.
