President Obama supports Gay Marriage, now the Fight Begins


President Obama supports gay marriage and now folks are excited, pissed, calling on God and prowling the streets for their bride or groom.

But this is only the beginning; if you thought it was heated before, get ready for the inferno. We need to be ready for everything. This not only ignited our base, but it really ignited the haters. So, believers, activists, bloggers and allies this is what we got to do:
  • Put our issues aside get behind this President.
  • Learn what your local OFA or LGBT organizations are doing. Join them or attend at least one of their rallies.
  • LGBT organizations, get you messaging together. Learn what the haters are saying and counter attack it.
  • GetEqual, start attacking our enemies! There are no excuses now.
  • GLAAD, continue to call out haters like Tony Perkins and Bryan Fischer.
  • Black Gay bloggers, start talking about politics and tone it down on Rihanna and Beyonce. It's known that our community know little about the presidency and more about Rihanna's wigs.
  •  If there are anti-gay rallies focusing on Obama's stance; get a group and protest against them.
  • Keep the gAyTM open, it should've never been closed in the first place.
  • Join other battles involving education cuts, women's issues, voter redistricting and immigration. We need those allies to help in our battle as well.
  • Help campaign against and vote out hateful and looney GOP folks from Congress.
  • And realize what's really at stake. We need Obama for another 4 years.

So proud and happy he did this. Quite surprised by Shep Smith's comments on Fox as well. Looks like yesterday was full of surprises.
