And the morons who adore them don't even blink an eye. Oh, snap. A few days ago I posted that you always call us "idiots" or "hypocrites." I forgot about "morons." ETA: Oh, and my 94 year-old father changed his mind about the definition of marriage. In fact, he announced he would not vote for President Obama for a second term after the president changed his stance...but then he eventually saw the light. Moron.

It is all kinds of wrong. It is taking a political stance and the facade of the White House should never be used in that way. Ever. Especially for a topic so divisive to the entire country. IMO it should never be anything other than white. Period. Not pink, not green, not even red white and blue. But what I find most nauseating is that the occupant of that house was anti-Gay marriage just three short years ago. The current democrat candidate Hillary was vehemently anti-gay marriage just a few short years ago, and championed DOMA with her husband. Yet they are both acting like they have been marching in the pride parades and carrying the dildo flags for decades. And the morons who adore them don't even blink an eye. I guess liars in the White House is a-okay now. So one can never change their minds? Sorry but most people do from time to time. Sorry you are so stuck in your bigoted little life that you can't ever see that equality and civil rights are there for everyone.

Can you honestly say you have never changed your stance on anything, ever? Not even, in your case, to become more conservative? I would actually find that to be a concern; maturity and experience and education have an impact on most peoples' beliefs, I think. If you say you believe exactly the same now as you did - on everything - at age seven, or seventeen, then I would find that amazing and alarming. I used to be one who thought civil unions for gay couples were a good idea. I changed my mind on that, and now I am all for equal marriage rights for all. I didn't lie with either stance; it was what I thought earlier and now I've evolved into believing that marriage is a civil right.

I guess liars in the White House is a-okay now. the white house is political by its very nature. And I think it is great that both have evolved their opinions. If we stop evolving we stop improving. And both have acknowledged that they have changed their views, just as millions of Americans have. Good for them and us!

You have to laugh. Nope, nothing political about The White House at all...just keep politics right out of there.

I think @lynlam was reached the point she now only comes on this board to post outrageous comments, insult those who disagrees with her , and then runs off and sits in her barn counting the pieces of hay to determine how many make up a bale of hay.

I thought the rainbow White House was a beautiful expression of celebration. It hurts nobody. To me: "in your face" would be if they added a large sign that said something like: "HA HA HA, SORRY HATERZ!" Or added a life-size statue of Jesus to the Rose Garden with a balloon out of his mouth saying "Oh snap, girlfriend!"
(Is "carry the dildo flag" the new put-down for equality supporters?)

To go to the overall question of are Americans more in your face now than in the past, I don't know. I do think more Americans are determined to take offense at what they feel is directed at them. Often the person celebrating is in no way thinking about anything except for their victory, but you can't convince the offended of that fact. There was a monstrous thread a few years ago because a Pea was convinced that the opening ceremony creators at the London Olympics chose to include a section honoring their national health care service purely as a rebuke to conservative Americans who object to government-sponsored health care systems. I remember that. It was Mrs T. If only we could hear what she has to say about this. If this Brit may dare to venture an opinion, it is a joyous occasion, and represents a step out of the dark ages and an indication that not everyone wants to be bound by religion. What better way to celebrate the fact that people can now marry the person with whom they fall in love than by lighting up the building that is the focus of national attention, good times and bad. It looked beautiful.

My facebook picture has the rainbow filter on it today. I am not a liar. Not about this, anyway.

I can agree with the OP but I also don't see harm in lighting it up for a day or two for this historic decision.

I guess liars in the White House is a-okay now. I think this is one of the funniest things I have ever read. Because every conservative or Republican politician has never lied - right? Do you honestly believe that all conservative politicians are against gay marriage? You honestly believe you know all their hearts and minds? Politicians are politicians - conservative or liberal - they say the things they think will get them elected. So I promise you there are conservative politicians out there that support gay marriage but won't admit it - not yet anyway. If you have love in your heart life is so much happier. Try it!!
