Keith Olbermann Get Emotional After Prop. 8 Vol. I'm Speechless.

I accidentally voted yes on prop 8, after filling out my ballot for like the 3rd time (me being an idiot, FTL). I honestly didn't think it would bother meat the moment, but I truly felt like an %$! for the rest of the day.

...I initially thought I didn't care either way, however as time passed, I began to develop the same sentiments which Olbermann shared...Its all abouthappiness. And I'll be damned if anyone tried to take away what made me happy in life.

Even I agree that they should be able 2 marry each otha...don't support or condone the lifestyle, but if they wanna spend the rest of they life withanother dude, that's they business, I guess...
 
don't support or condone the lifestyle
Never understood why somebody had to say this sort of thing... as though people are going to assume you are gay for saying you support gaymarriage. Or why they feel the need to preface everything this way - to come out and say "hey you aren't living a lifestyle i approve of", asthough anybody cares what you do or don't approve as a lifestyle choice. It's not an illegal activity - it's not a question of ethics.

ARE YOU GAY OR SOMETHING DUDE???

Seriousl I don't understand this one either, you really need to tell a message board that you're not gay. People like this guy are why prop 8didn't get passed.

Not exactly...

More like Kid A (no Radiohead) has the toy, and won't let Kid B play with it.

Kid B doesn't want to take the toy away, just have the same fun Kid A is.

Well technically Kid A (religious folks) had the toy first.

This is why separation of Church and State was mandated. Marriage is a religious institution with fancy ceremonies that promoted social structure and order. Let the religious folks have it.
This became a problem when the states and feds started tacking on all these "rights' unto marriage.

The less private matters that the state is involved in the better.

agreed. it ought to be separated.....

but as it is now, i have no issue with people voting against gay marriage. in reference to the Kid A and Kid B thing. It's like Kid A has a blue toy truck.and kid B wants to play too, so Kid A is forced to share it but not only that, paint half of the truck pink....if you were Kid A, would you want that when youwent and made that toy for yourself 100 years ago?

As Olbermann stated, marriage has been redefined many times throughout American history. Its been altered before, as recently as the late60's. So...what are you saying? As Olbermann also states...what business is it of yours what someone else is doing in their personal life? It doesn'taffect anyone else. All about a bunch of religious-zealots always wanting to have their agenda forced upon everyone else. That and intolerant people notwanting another group to get theirs. Sad people can't just live and let live...

Exactly. I never understood that either. Like...who asked YOU in the first place if you approve of what someone else is doing with their life. People are toodamn worried about everyone else's personal life. Live and let live, life is too short to worry about taking someone else's piece of the pie away...

SMH at people who vote for Obama because they wanted change and what they call "a equal chance" but for Prop 8 that denies another group of people equal rights. There is not ONE good reason why homosexuals should don't be able to marry.

people that voted for obama aren't being hypocritical....didn;t obama himself say during the debate that he was against gay marriage?

That was not my point. The point made by Keith is a point ive always made to my black friends and relatives who don't support gay marriage. Ata time in this country black people couldn't marry. And interracial marriages were illegal. What makes gay civil rights less worth fighting for than blackcivil rights. smh
