There is a gay dude who is seriously annoying me. We like the same person, well I did. And he wants to force me to stop liking him. I'm the type of person to get away from drama and problems, he's the kind to create them. He calls the guy I liked his Bae, Baby, Boo and all types of things. But, he's unaware that the guy he likes told me to go on his Facebook and block him. Haha, I wonder how he'll feel if I told him that. But, today he tried confronting me about it, I walked off saying "this is pointless, please stop annoying me with your useless problems".

[Elysian]

Good boy. Usless drama is meaningless.

Some good news and some bad news for the LGBT.

Good:

California banned gayconversion therapy.

Bad:

Ukraine decided to make promoting or speaking positivly of homosexuality illegal. (this still needs to pass)

[Manna]

Ugh. On one case a step forward, in the other 12 steps back.

I remember some time ago someone wanted to know about the progress on Same-sex marriage in Ireland.

In 2013 Ireland will hold a constitutional convention on the issue. Polls have shown support to legalise samesex marriage in Ireland is arround 70% Which is quite high.


My expectations for the year 2013 will be that atleast Ireland, Scotland and France will legalise it. Colombia will have it legalised on 20th June 2013 by court ruling.

And the state of Maryland and Washington will pass it after a positive result from the november balot. Maine also having a november balot on Samesexmarriage will probably result in samesex marriage being legalised there aswell. That would leave Rhode Island being the last state in New England without marriage equality.

I thought Ukraine was now Russia. I am so dumb.

Some US stuff:
Anyway, with the whole presidential campaign, if a president wanted to make same sex marriage illegal through out all 50 states, would he be able to?

[FireEmblemAddict]

I think it's important to clarify that California banned so-called 'gay conversion therapy' on minors specifically. Still a victory though.

But they're still open for anyone 18+ that wants to go. Even though I don't think anyone will lol.

That would be pointless because on a federal level, gay marriage is already illegal. The Defense of Marriage Act of 1996 officially states that the U.S. federal government only recognizes marriages between a man and woman for all purposes. Now, Congress could theoretically pass a law that rescinds all state-official same-sex marriages and bans the practice from ever occuring again, but this is highly unlikely for two reasons.
1. Public opinion is turning around rapidly to the side of supporting same-sex marriage.
2. This would be a huge offense to state powers, which are guaranteed in our constitution.
In the end, a president alone couldn't officially ban it.

Good on ya, keep drama where it belongs; online.

[Demon Kitsune Yoko Kurama]

To be honest, I hate drama online too. People in other threads starting arguing with me, and I just left, because I find it pointless arguing online.
