I don't think she's a troll. I mean, I see her point. (I think.) But, um... gay pride is so fun. D: And really, yeah, it's just marriage, but the bigger issue is that it's EQUAL RIGHTS. And a while ago: yeah it was just separate bathrooms and drinking fountains, but again that minor stuff was just the surface of an equal rights issue. And that's a big issue. You can't just let minor inequality reign forever. If you don't stamp it out entirely, it will start growing back like a cancer.

@PlasmaStar Actually, I think nudity being illegal IS ridiculous, and if there was a movement to get it legalized, I would totally back them the same as I back gay rights. (I just don't think people care enough, which is fine, because I don't either. Possibly because it's cold here..) And I think the only reason there is "gay PRIDE" is because there is opposition. Once the opposition calms its fucking shit and lets people have equal rights, the LGBT community and supporters will all calm down too and the "pride" will fade until it's no more or less than that of straight people.

I don't understand how anyone can support gay rights but not support gay people being proud to attain those rights. Does not compute.

Anti-pride, not anti-gay, or homophobe. It's pretty funny actually, how many people claim I'm closed minded, but block me because I have a different opinion. *wink*

Lovely tribute for a landmark ruling. Thank you Subeta team!
On the other hand....
While opposing views should always be able to be freely aired, the hateful rhetoric and repetitious trolling here is sad to see.

like someone else said, if you're anti gay on this site, you're gonna have a bad time bro.
This made my day and I cannot wait for the day when my friends who have been loving relationships for years can finally get married!

Also, marriage existed before Christianity did.
In fact, it was a pre-Abrahamic tradition, so please do not use Christianity as an excuse to control something that existed beforehand.

As a libertarian, I believe that the right to marry should not be restricted in any way other than being between two consenting individuals. There should not be any other control of who can marry and who cannot.
Two. consenting. individuals.

I don't particularly care for the whole "gay rights" movement (I've met some incredibly rude and pushy people who really haven't given me the impression that they're fighting for equality but they just want to be special little snowflakes who are right about everything), but I'm not against any of it either. As long as i can keep my own beliefs, they can do whatever they feel like. Especially since the bigotry exists on both sides of this debate. And anyway, this is a nice sticker. =D thanks Subeta!

yay I'm glad. cause it isn't about religion at all. not when the government grants certain breaks on taxes and such for married couples. husbands and wives have passed away and their family was left completely broke with no help because they were gay and their insurance wasn't accounted for the same way a straight couples were. it is about more than the right to simply marry... tax breaks, visiting rights, life insurances and such. the right to adopt. I'm glad subeta is a community where we already understand this pretty much..
and I agree so much with cranberrys quote- we don't need a straight love pride movement....

@Plasmaster, are you really so on the defense that you think that was specifically aimed at you? I was referring to the fact that, beyond this, the creator of the site is openly gay. So anyone who thinks gays are an abomination on this site is going to have a bad time.

I've noted before, not a homophobe, and you have not much of a hint to my sexuality. But look at it from my point of view, if a crow of nudist marched into town swinging their wangs about, asking for freedom from clothes, a lot would be said about it.

Be fair now. Plasmastar's got every right to voice his or her opinion on the situation. Actually, illustrates a great point- why is it totally acceptable to everyone to see a girl and guy getting it on, and yet if a same sex couple kiss in public they are "forcing it on" someone? Does anyone get all up in arms that a hetero couple wants to kiss in public? Isn't that "forcing" heterosexuality on others?

Plasmastar please just stop... No one is forcing you to or anyone else into anything. The whole Gay Marriage debate is for equal rights that straight married couples have.
On a previous comment:
Marriage is a religious practice, but is also secular. Someone does not need to be married in a church, or by a pastor/priest/ whoever.

I'm all for love. I'm all for loving another color, the same sex, or even your brother (*wink wink*). "Pride" is what I DON'T love. Don't care for it, don't wanna see it. It's stupid that people won't let you be, but it's also stupid that you have to force it on everyone around you.

I for one am quite proud of America today ^.^ I really never understood this one- if religion wants politics to keep out of religion, than religion should return the favor and keep their morality out of politics, no?
And I /am/ a Christian. Which means I follow the teachings of the man, Christ, in all that love everyone, be nice, don't be a jerk sort of way. Wish more of my sect would read /those/ words instead of the one or two archaic ones from 1000 years before the very founder of our religion was even born....but I digress.
USA USA USA!

It's sad. People have to fight for their right to be happy. It shouldn't be that way, but at least they've won another battle and will hopefully win the war.
PS - Just to let people know, there are plenty of Christians out there who don't believe or read the bible. Being a Christian is defined as believing in God, obeying the ten commandments, and being a moral person, which doesn't necessarily mean going by everything the Bible says. The Holy Bible was written by what man thinks God would want, and man is very flawed, as we all know. Do not group all Christians as being bad people just because a few have some screws loose.

Marriage IS a religious tradition. You don't see the preacher in front slipping some nice little words into the lovers' ears "It's ok, I'll ask him to turn the other way while we do this thing."

Wow uh...let me just say Plasmastar, you should just keep your ignorant comments to yourself because all you're doing is making yourself look bad.
And I'm very proud of the efforts of the citizens of my country for making this leap forward for universal equality. All love is equal, no matter the gender, race, culture, or religious background, etc.
If people weren't so blindsided by their "moral" laws from a book that was written 3500 years ago, maybe they could see that.
I personally believe we are making progress to a better nation each day, and /eventually/ we will have a place where people wont hate each other for being different.
However one can only hope that is the case. :P
