Good

This is good news, now we need to get rid of the words gay, straight, hetero, homo, black, white. Then we will have true equality.

Good news overall, but I don't like how close the vote was.

WASHINGTON—Following the Supreme Court’s landmark ruling that bans on same-sex marriage were unconstitutional, the nation’s homophobic bigots reportedly conceded today that “rules are rules” and announced that they were going to pack it in. “Well, this certainly went against my personal beliefs, but we must respect the Supreme Court’s ruling,” said Dale Howell of Avery, TX, who, like millions of his fellow intolerant Americans with an intense hatred of homosexuals, believes that he had the opportunity to make his voice heard and is now ready to accept the highest court in the land’s decision and move on. “Obviously, I’m not going to like it. However, my hands are simply tied. The law is the law, and that’s really all there is to the situation.” Sources confirmed that the energy homophobes normally spent discriminating against gays will likely be reallocated to further holding down African Americans, Hispanics, women, and transgender individuals.

But people could still discriminate against gays even with this ruling so this person saying they will reallocate the hate is strange.

Yeah, it is strange....almost satirical...

Okay yeah I didn't see it was from the Onion. Also because..that honestly sounds like something a person would legitimately state in this day and age.

I'd fix the link to the source, but KMC is doing that thing again where you can't edit.

Yea there is a edit problem.

No worries, there's actually a Law about that, can't remember the name though.

edit: Edit works now. It's Poe's Law.

Poe's Law

Getting good at this.

Still need to get rid of the words african american, black, white gay, lesbian, that is the only way to true equality.

I would agree if you mean we need to stop categorizing people based on their racial and sexual properties

Yes thats what I mean.

I don't think we should get ride of words, we should get ride of the negative implications that come with words like 'Black' and 'Homosexual'.

Well it looks like there will a lot of weddings. God bless all of the people finally getting what they have wanted, needed, and even died for over these past long years of hatred and bigotry. Hopefully the people that were strongly against these civil unions will be able to get past their control issues, and adopt a live and let live attitude.
