Legalizing Same Sex Marriage Is Still A Blue State Thing

A federal judge on Tuesday struck down Pennsylvania's ban on same sex marriage, making it the 19th state in which gay people are now free to marry. What do those 19 states (plus the District of Columbia) have in common? Every one of them went for President Obama in both the 2008 and 2012 elections.

For all of the momentum that efforts to legalize same sex marriage have -- nine states have overturned bans since the Supreme Court gave federal recognition to same sex couples last June -- the states in which those efforts have succeeded remain, almost exclusively, Democratic strongholds. With the exceptions of Iowa and New Hampshire -- and, maybe, Pennsylvania -- none of the remaining 16 (or 17) states where gay marriage is legal are even marginally competitive at the presidential level.

I am so sick of these judges changing laws illegally by just saying a ban on same sex marriage is unconstitutional.

Super power countries are LTAO at our sissy homo country. The Democrats and spineless RINO's allowed this to happen. The whacko black churches caved into this because of their love for their "black" president.

This proves that a bunch of Americans have a mental illness and are to soft hearted. Homosexual perversion is a serious mental disease that normal people refuse to address.

A decision made by a very red federal judge, appointed by Bush recommended by Santorum.

A very red judge would not have made this decision. Just because he was appointed by Bush doesn't make him very RED.

You my dear are a liberal idiot!!
