Thank you!
It breaks my heart that president-elect Obama does not believe as you do.

Kudos Mr Olbermann and CT

Kudos to Keith.

Yes, just a few short years ago Mr Obama's very own parents would have been barred from marrying each other in many states in the US because they were an inter-racial couple.

And kudos to CT where on 11/12 I can begin to officiate as a justice of the peace at the marriages (formerly civil unions) of same-sex couples now too.

And to kick things off, my partner of 29 years and I will be at our town hall in Litchfield County on 11/12 to pick up our own marriage license.

Cheers,
Joe Mustich, Justice of the Peace

Americans as a whole have the right to live where they please and do as they please. Being gay shouldn't limit your rights anymore then if I was a woman or a person of color. I should, as an American adult be allowed to live my life how I see fit, this inculdes marring whom ever I please.

How insensitive

Gays live everywhere, not just in Canada. American citizens should not have to fight for the rights that everyone else has, and that they do not just because they can't legally be married - or in some cases, are taken away because they are gay (something they did not choose).

I actually find gay people who put down other gays offensive. If we can't support each other, how can we expect others to support us?

You have every right to move. But you shouldn't have to. And not every is able to pick up and move to Canada. Aside from the cost, the legal aspect is daunting.

Fortunately, I do believe change is coming to all the U.S. I hope it is soon enough that these kids and others like them don't suffer because of discriminatory laws.

Well Duh...

Sorry, but this is stupidity on the part of ALL GAY PEOPLE WHO STILL LIVE IN FLORIDA!! Much less, this country. Why in the world would you adopt (and pay taxes. and contribute to society) in a state that gives NO RIGHTS to gay people. Then turn around and bitch when they pass a law like this, like it was a shock. I get it, the weather is nice. But if you trade some comfort for some peace of mind, then you deserve what you get. My bf and I are in Michigan, planning to move to London, Ontario. And I'll be outside shoveling snow off my car, cursing the very existence of winter, BUT I'll be legally married with legally adopted kids.

Wasn't this story found out to be a "crock" like her "dodging bullets" in Bosnia? Wow. If anyone else was telling these woppers, they'd be "run out of town on a rail" as the expression goes. She tells such a bizarre story, and then just says "I mispoke" and thats the end of it? But then we learned from ol Billy Boy that the Clintons have a strange veiw of "truth."

I can NOT wait to see it. It

I adopted our first daughter from an orphanage in Vietnam when she was a baby. I share custody with my ex - we have a great co-parenting arrangement and live mere blocks from each other. This daughter is now 11 and has known my current partner since she was four years of age. My current partner and I are CA domestic partners and we inseminated and had our baby girl. California law gave me, the non-bio mom a right to be on the birth certificate, recognized automatically as a legal parent, by virtue of our DP status. So now we have our family - of four; two moms and two daughters and are plagued by the anomaly of State legal recognition and federal invalidation.

My DP is from abroad and her working visa will soon expire. How dare O'Reilly place me and my babies at a disadvantage for those few that will abuse the system; and it will be no different to the few heterosexuals that have abused the system for years.

My family will be torn apart- because I cannot petition for my partner. I will be faced with my sophie's choice. First daughter cannot leave the State and my second daughter will have to leave with my partner, because she is the bio mom and I would never separate them. Imagine my kids and I are American citizens and we have no rights to stay as a unit and keep together in our own country- the great America - so concerned about human rights in the rest of the world?

It will be like a death for us. the sisters adore each other- if you are a parent and you have a family, close your eyes and imagine that this is you- because we are the same as you; four people who love and depend on each other.
So to O'Reilly et al, I guess it is okay for those privileged enough to have marriage and the rights that go with it, to go to the alter and endure a three day marriage or a two year marriage or whatever, but my family must be torn apart with no rights because you ‘Mr. O ‘ fear that people may abuse the system. I challenge you to have real families such as mine on your show and to repeat what you "OPINE" to my face.

Lovely post

Thanks for sharing this video! So impressed with this young man - great outlook on life (and vocabulary! I don't think that I ever used the word 'humility' at his age :).

What a direct rational answer. This is what I've been praying for in a straight politician -- someone who can matter of factly explain the issue without trying to avoid it or parse or qualify.

Ahmen!
