The Democrats' Gay Marriage Problem

Democrats have a gay marriage problem.

That problem?

That the problem is no longer a problem. 

Sure you are seeing some knee-jerk reaction from Republicans pandering to their social conservative base, but long-term this is a blessing for Republicans. 

Now that gay couples can marry, what's next?  Oh you know all that boring stuff that couples do like trying to manage household finances, filing taxes together, purchasing a home, all that stuff that was on the back burner is now on the front burner. 

Social issues matter less, economic issues matter more. 

Sure, Democrats will try to milk this opportunity for what it is worth and try to take credit for this ruling.  But I am sure Republicans in the near future will remind folks that the Kennedy on this decision was not appointed by a Democrat.

I loved escobar comment. This is a great day for Americans. As a gay man in El Paso, I don't give a shit what you think Veronica. You're faker than my man's C cup.

Next up is bathrooms ("I want to pee standing up today"), polygamy (religious discrimination against Mormons), then marrying your dog or horse, then pederasty ("I was born this way"). I can't think of anything after that but I'm sure the LGTBs will.

Shut up rotten peppers.

Those two escaped convicts in New York missed a great opportunity. If they made it known they escaped so they could get married, then I'll bet the LGBT community would have taken up their cause and ensure they were safely escorted into a JOP. From there a petition to President Obama for a full pardon, because the criminal in them were from a previous life and now they identify with law abiding Gay couples contributing to society. They would have been put on welfare and food stamps until they got on their feet as they were retrained to be Planned Parenthood counselors. Instead they are just one dead heterosexual and another on the run....what loosers!
