Sen. Rand Paul is on a college tour speaking to college students and at one of his college speeches, a student asked him about his thoughts on gay marriage and this is what he said…

“I don’t want my guns registered in Washington or my marriage,” he told me. “Founding Fathers all got married by going down to the local courthouse. It is a local issue and always has been.”
But can Republicans win a national election if they aren’t in tune with rapidly changing opinions on the matter? He took a soft tone.
“Society’s changing,” he said. “I mean, people change their minds all the time on this issue, and even within the Republican Party, there are people whose child turns out to be gay and they’re like, oh well maybe I want to rethink this issue. So it’s been rethought. The President’s rethought the issue. So I mean, a lot of people have rethought the issue.”
“The bottom line is, I’m old fashioned, I’m a traditionalist,” he said. “I believe in old-fashioned traditional marriage. But, I don’t really think the government needs to be too involved with this, and I think that the Republican Party can have people on both sides of the issue.”

If I remember correctly, the gay marriage issue wasn’t a big deal under George W. Bush as president. The gay marriage movement didn’t start until Barack Obama got elected. Sen. Paul is so right that government should stay out of the marriage issue. It’s none of the government’s business on who gets married be it either straight or gay.
I really hate how the gay marriage movement has gotten so huge.
In the past, I used to defend traditional marriage like crazy in facebook but I keep gay marriage topics off of facebook ’cause I can’t stand liberals views on it. They really are intolerant sons of bitches. They won’t let you have your opinion if you oppose to gay marriage. The only reason I think liberals get so obsessed with defending gay marriage is because of their ego and self importance. They do it as a way to feel special and do it as a way to make people around them feel proud of them. If you oppose gay marriage, they will do all they can to change your opinion on it. They want you to believe in equal rights. They want conservatives to have a change of heart with gay marriage. This is why I keep gay marriage topics off of my facebook page although it is fun to get liberals going.
I’m sure liberals are hating Rand Paul for this and I’m sure many people are calling him a homophobe or a bigot ’cause he defending traditional marriage. This is how horrible liberals really are.
Also, liberals claim they’re huge supporters of homosexuality and gay marriage… yet they make claims they aren’t gay themselves. Watch out for that stuff and don’t trust ’em. Chances are, they are closeted homosexuals either that or they are slightly interested in homosexuality (some people out there are secretly bi-curious).
I don’t give a shit what anybody says. Gay marriage isn’t normal. It is now legal in 19 states and it really shouldn’t be. I was pissed when New York State legalized it. It’s just wrong. Marriage SHOULD be between a man and woman. I’m sticking with my opinion.
I’m glad the Supreme Court continues to ignore the possibility of gay marriage being legalized in the USA. I hope it never happens. Gay marriage being legalized in the USA… if it does happen, then we’re fucked.

Yes, I just saw the latest ruling on gay marriage by the Supreme Court and it’s fucking bullshit. It’s purely a political move. Notice how they just did this before November? I think they did it to save their careers before the Nov. elections. Liberals are disrespecting traditional marriage. They’re so delusional, they just don’t understand. More on this later.
I’m sure liberals in social networking are jerking themselves off right now.

I know Supreme Court justices are appointed for life, I’m not dumb but don’t kid yourselves. If any of them voted to rule against same sex marriage, then it would put them in hot water. They refused to rule against it as a way to save their reputation. It would make them a homophobe too if they decided to rule against gay marriage. They could have also done it as a way to save careers of others like other politicians in different states who are running for Congress. Things like that. Using common sense would do you some good.

I also believe that what the Supreme Court just did was completely unconstitutional, they just disobeyed the 10th Amendment:
“The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.”
It should be the States decision to legalize gay marriage, not them.

Definitely sounds like an Obummer kind of thing. I think he also had a big hand in helping to make this happen.

Closing this. Some of you guys need to get a life.
