Let’s remember Ted Rall and his REAL American “heroes:”
Man: “It’s nothing to me if gays get married. I just don’t care.”
2nd man: “Yes! That’s all we’re asking!”

Heterosexual people have done enough damage to the “sacred institution of marriage” to render the term meaningless
Civil Unions for everyone is the answer
Let the government have their piece of paper signifying that two people have made a legal commitment to each other and then the churches can sort out who is allowed to be “married” and who is not

I agree with the two comments above, but I don’t get the last panel.

She was talking about the kardashians, not gay marriage.

Last panel= No more phone calls please, we have a winner. Sadly, one can marry this strip with todays Non Sequitur and it would be a great commentary on today’s society.

If you consider marriage to be the union of a man and (only one) woman for the purpose of procreation, when it comes to the Kardashians, it’s the procreation part that’s scary.

I never thought the president (or the first lady for that matter) really deep down in their hearts support gay marriage. President Obama showed support for it to two reasons 1.) As a smart strategic move because Romney opposes it 2.) To help get the gay vote. As good a man I think Obama is, he is still a politician. As a leader, sometimes you have to lose a few battles with your own conscience just so you can win the war. And the war for Obama is Nov. 6th

That’s funny, because I’ve always thought the opposite. I always thought he truly supported it, but was pretending to be “evolving” on the issue in order to keep North Dakota in 2012. Then sometime after the election he’d “come to terms” with I and complete his “evolution.” But Biden threw a wrench into that plan.
That’s what I think happened.

*(I mean N. Carolina and Virginia, and the other red states that voted for him).

I get what you’re saying, and it is a valid observation but I think he and Michelle are too steep in their own traditional family image to really believe or think that gay marriage is right. A little voice in my head keeps telling me that if they weren’t living in the white house, or in politics for that matter, they would be sending one message to their daughters that a man is meant to be with a woman and vise-versa. Look, I’m a black man, and I know don’t about anyone else but where I’m from we look down on gay marriage. It’s not only wrong, but ungodly. But fortunately for me, I don’t use gay-marriage or the abortion issue as the determining factors as to who I choose to vote for. I vote for the person who I believe will best run this country (especially during these times) and I clearly believe that is Obama.

As a black woman, I agree with you 100%. I didn’t vote for Obama because he’s black, I voted for him because I truly believe he will do the best job.

Listening to Obama’s comments both before and after his term I don’t think he has changed his position much other than how he states it. Obama has always acknowledged that he personally does not believe homosexuality is ‘right’ based on his religious faith. The only difference now is his public comments concerning the issue now focus on the fact that no matter our personal views on the issue we have no right to tell others how they live their lives.

@paytonb
good observation. It’s all in how you say it.

@paytonb
Well, that’s pretty much what I was trying to say. I don’t think he supports it because he approves of homosexuality, I think he supports it because it’s justice — because it’s not anyone else’s business to tell other people how to live their lives, OR who they can marry. I just have a hard time thinking he didn’t feel that way four years ago, especially since he’s mixed, and until 1967 people had the same arguments against interracial marriage. They said that was not only wrong, but ungodly. They said it would destroy the institution of marriage, etc. I believe that even a devoutly religious mixed person would be more sensitive all along to the injustice of those arguments.
