ABC’s What Would You Do? shows us how people react to a woman being told she can’t buy a wedding dress because she’s gay.
I was doing alright until the end, then I had all the feels.
A woman proposes to her girlfriend at a NHL game.
I would never do this, nor would I ever want something like this to happen to me, but this is pretty fucking cute.

A wonderful job of getting their point across all while being absolutely hilarious.
The Marion County coroner’s office is refusing to release Santiago’s body to her partner; the office cited the Defense of Marriage Act as the reason why they’ve turned down Brennon’s request to pick up her loved one’s remains. DOMA allows states to refuse to recognize same-sex marriages performed in other states.
Brennon had to get her aunt to claim the body of Santiago so she could then turn the remains back over to Brennon so she could make final arrangements. Further proof DOMA needs to be repealed.

Same-sex marriage doesn’t hurt straight couples. It doesn’t hurt kids who grow up in loving same-sex families. It doesn’t hurt anyone. DOMA, on the other hand, is an ugly stain on our country. And every day we don’t repeal it is another day we’re making millions of Americans second-class citizens.

Dear Anna,
There’s no good argument against marriage equality. There’s no good argument for the Defense of Marriage Act, one of the most unfair laws passed in my lifetime. And there’s no good argument for leaving it on the books.
What are we waiting for? The country has evolved —…
“Debates over gay marriage have the potential to turn ugly fast. Only three weeks into the campaign, both sides already are accusing their counterparts of taking the low road.
Adkins says it started before the amendment vote took place in the Legislature, when gay marriage supporters showed up en masse at the Capitol. Looking back, he bristles at chants like, “No hate in our state!”
“Part of having a respectful dialogue is recognizing that reasonable people can disagree and they may have good reasons for disagreeing and it’s not just because they hate people,” Adkins said.
Archbishop John Nienstedt of the Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis, who argued for the amendment in a DVD sent to Catholics last fall, also pushed back in a column last week. “Regrettably, the media and some secular commentators have chosen to mischaracterize this measure as anti-gay, mean-spirited and prejudicial. This is not the case or the intent behind the initiative,” Nienstedt wrote.
Amendment opponents, meanwhile, were outraged to find material on the Minnesota Family Council website asserting that a “disproportionate number” of homosexuals are pedophiles and that some homosexuals ingest urine and feces, and engage in bestiality.
I love how they want a respectful dialogue, when what they are fighting for IS fueled by hate and ignorance. How am I supposed to respect someone that doesn’t respect me? By the way, I would never disrespect someone’s religion, but when it interferes in my life, I do take offense. Religion is choice, being gay isn’t.
