Comments on: Marriage in the non-battle states http://www.boxturtlebulletin.com/2012/10/17/49821 News, analysis and fact-checking of anti-gay rhetoric Sun, 19 May 2013 14:07:11 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.4.2 By: DN http://www.boxturtlebulletin.com/2012/10/17/49821/comment-page-1#comment-165108 DN Thu, 18 Oct 2012 11:06:58 +0000 http://www.boxturtlebulletin.com/?p=49821#comment-165108 I've been tearing up the internet trying to find a link for it, but last weekend, the bf and I were in the car and an Obama radio ad came on. The premise of the ad was, "what will you tell them?" What will you say to your friends you voted against? And then specifically mentioned gay rights and all the wins the Obama administration has won. Pulling into the Target at Seven Corners in Northern Virginia, we were amazed and thrilled to hear the president openly campaigning on his gay rights progress. Until I saw this post, I would never have believed there was that much support for gay marriage in Virginia - we have the most draconian anti-gay laws in the Union.

While voting for Obama? I kind of find it hard to believe that 54% of Florida supports gay marriage, especially when only 49% of people in Minnesota oppose the marriage amendment according to recent polls. Its easy to say you support gay rights when it isn't on a ballot. Wasn’t it just four years ago that Florida banned gay marriage by 61%? While voting for Obama?
