Good old Marion Berry. I wonder if comedy writers contribute to his campaign fund just to keep him around.

Now you're race baiting. Marion Barry does not represent the Black Community. He's a crack head from a crime ridden poor neighborhood. Regardless of race, the uneducated are ignorant bigots.
The motion passed 12-1, and blacks are a majority in DC. It wouldn't have passed if the Black Community was as homophobic as you and Marion Barry think.

This is a fantastic bill. Not only does it recognize the rights of same-sex couples, but it also has a provision explicitly protecting churches and other religious institutions that refuse to perform ceremonies for same-sex couples. It protects the rights of people on both sides of the debate and I believe that it is an admirable bill that should be used as a model for the remainder of the states.

Me quoting someone is race-baiting? LOL.
Coming from the #2 race baiter on the forums, I dont know how to respond.
Take your anger out on Marion Barry for misrepresenting AA sentimient on homosexuals, not the person who quotes him

Irrelevant, non-sequiter bullshit. What smokers do to themselves in their own space is tragic, but it's their own self-destructive tragedy. When they smoke in public, they pollute the public environment with carcinogens and other toxins.
Are you afraid of catching "teh gay" from them simply because they're in public... or are you lamenting that it already happened to you? :Q :laugh:

He does not represent me, or any black person I have ever met.

LOL, in this VERY FORUM you and Phokus routinely imply that because there are bigots in the Republican party that all Republicans are bigots. You generalize as much or more than anyone, so you'll have to forgive me when I laugh at you.

Your sense of humor is clearly as lacking as your musical ability. I've repeatedly defended homosexual marriage here, so your implication that I'm afraid of "teh gay" just reinforces the fact that you're a brainless buffoon.
And as to your comment that "What smokers do to themselves in their own space is tragic, but it's their own self-destructive tragedy" is yet another two faced lie from Harvey, ATP&Ns resident jester. Your repeated calls for the death of anyone who disagrees with your anti-smoking crusade is ample evidence.

(CNN) -- Same-sex marriage became legal in Maine on Wednesday as Gov. John Baldacci signed a bill less than an hour after the state legislature approved it.
Maine Gov. John Baldacci signed a bill Wednesday legalizing same-sex marriage.
"I have come to believe that this is a question of fairness and of equal protection under the law and that a civil union is not equal to civil marriage," said Baldacci, a Democrat.
But he raised the possibility that the residents of the state would overturn the law, saying, "Just as the Maine Constitution demands that all people are treated equally under the law, it also guarantees that the ultimate political power in the State belongs to the people."
Three other states -- Massachusetts, Connecticut and Iowa -- allow same-sex marriages. Vermont has passed a law making gay and lesbian marriages legal that takes effect in September. New Hampshire lawmakers are close to passing a similar bill.
On Tuesday, the Washington City Council voted to recognize same-sex marriages from states that allow those unions. Mayor Adrian Fenty has indicated that he will sign the measure. It will become law if Congress fails to overturn the measure during a 30-day review period.
A slim majority of Americans are against legal recognition for same-sex marriage, CNN polling found last month.
Fifty-four percent of adults questioned in an April 23-26 nationwide CNN/Opinion Research Corp. poll said that marriages between gay or lesbian couples should not be recognized as valid, while 44 percent said they should be considered legal.
The survey's sampling error was plus or minus 3 percentage points.
I agree with the governor, that separation cannot be legal. Even among the "liberal" parties politicians, not many get this.
Depends on your definition of marriage. I see it as between a man and a woman....
But I see being "gay" as a genetic disorder. You are born that way, and it's something that is phsically wrong with you, not a choice by anymeans. Doesn't mean we should support that way of life as normal.
