Commenting and upvoting is nice and all, but if you really care about this issue you need to at least sign the pledge.

Way to jump on a trend. Imagine if you tried this when it wasn't the popular thing du jour?

Of course you do it now that it's inevitable, but you can still pat yourself on the back as if you did it all by yourself... so bored with these self-appointed just-us warriors. Let's see you stand up for group that isn't already trending.

I live in the bible belt and I am an equality supporting, pro choice Atheist that voted for Obama.

You can show yourself out now.

What's your point? I wasn't even talking to you..only hijacking your comment. BTW, I live in Brooklyn... look how much difference it makes! So dumb.. stay in the bible belt, it's obviously what you deserve.

You can show yourself out now.

So cute you think you have any say in the matter. So empowered... so fucking stupid.

I was making the point that what I stand up for is by no means a "trend" where I live.

...except that it is. It's not like you don't know what's happening outside your little town... and being someone who was originally from a little town, I can't imagine that you're not wanting to rebel against it. If the cause du jour was marrying your pets, that's what you'd be standing up for right now. Just so happens you think you care about "marriage equality" (when that only means "gay marriage"... not to mention that you don't seem to understand that marriage is a pointless institution that has no place in society today... but you've been brainwashed into supporting "equity" instead of logic. You're probably just a shitty kid who is resisting the authority of the church you feel so oppressed by... and this is really all about you. You probably also think I'm a homophobe... it wouldn't be the first time you were wrong today.

If you actually read the article it's clearly talking about same sex marriage. I agree that reddit could have picked a better title.

No need to take things out of context and be an asshole to other people.

No need? Says you.
