Noted gay-marriage opponent fundraising at lesbian couple’s home tonight
Dixon and Schaffer, transplants from Chicago, held a wedding ceremony in July 2008 with hundreds of guests attending from all across the country, according to an account in the Windy City Times…
Asked whether Obama supports marriages like that between Dixon and Schaffer and whether their marriage in Chicago should have been afforded the same rights and privileges as those given to heterosexual couples, Obama campaign spokesman Ben LaBolt offered the following comment:
“The President has long opposed a Federal Marriage Amendment, supported the repeal of DOMA, and been clear that this was a matter than states should decide.”

Much like his views on Super PACs.

Well, you can tell which one wears the pants in the family. I’m sorry, but they just look stupid.

I don’t know about you guys, but I’m kinda shocked that our president would accept money from people whose agenda he has no intention…ffft…pfft…HAHAHAHA!

So – I went to the story at ABC and clicked on the link to the wedding photos…
Maybe my humor is a bit sophmorish, but…

Induction into the CGLHoF is one of the highest awards the LGBT community offers.
I found this famous alumnus on their webpage:
“For conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity during the Battle of Trip Palin, at the risk of his credibility, above and beyond the call of gayness whilst serving as political hack, Andrew Sullivan is inducted into the Chicago Gay and Lesbian Hall of Fame.”

Major HEH!!!
Ultimate in ‘Just Grin and Bear It Moments’:
So, tell us all about your daughter Mr. Schaffer…..

Since Prop 8 was defeated, hopefully now Californians will be free to marry as they wish.
Dolphins, dogs, cats, lizards, rocks, houses, doors, and of course, let us not rule out the practice of Polygamy.
Bcs everyone should be able to marry as they wish, right?
It’s a basic human right dontcha know?
Then, Achmed with his 20 wives can get free healthcare & welfare for all of them & his 100 kids!

Well, Rick Santorum is now covered, so there goes that attack on him.
Media hack: “Mr Santorum, you have made several statements that many think were anti-gay…”
Santorum: “Incorrect and taken out of context, but like President Obama, I too am evolving on the issue. Now back to the economy”
