    Default For those of you on FB...

    Not sure if you all are seeing this, those of us on FB... But with this whole debate at the SCOTUS now about the gay marriage thing, everyone seems to be changing their profile picture to a pink equal sign against a red backdrop. Well a friend's wife changed hers, and I like this one better. People are already starting to get in a hissy about it... what? I can't support something that is outlined in the Constitution, yet you can support something that isn't even mentioned in a round about way anywhere in our Constitution or BOR?
    Here it is:
    "There is no news in the truth, and no truth in the news."
    "The revolution will not be televised... Instead it will be filmed from multiple angles via cell phone cameras, promptly uploaded to YouTube, Tweeted about, and then shared on Facebook, pending a Wi-Fi connection."

    I hadn't seen any of that until you mentioned it, so I logged into FB and sure enough, several of my friends have changed their profile pic to that pink equals sign. I like yours better too, may have to use it for a bit.

    I wish I could say I was surprised at the difference in support but I'm not. I post pro-2a and I'm labeled a "nut". But I've seen TONS of the red "=" pics today. To each their own and I don't really care about gay marriage. It's their choice. But the vilification of gun owners bothers me. I'm sure I'll get snide comments for putting the gun picture up but I dont really care. If you don't stand for something, you'll fall for anything.

    Some people only feel strongly about a single issue... others feel strongly about many issues. It is good to see people standing up for what they believe in. If only MORE people would do the same thing. My wife and I have dozens of gay friends. Several of them support OUR cause... and I support their cause also!

    Here are some thoughts on the whole issue- both the "same sex" and 2A issues...
    "civil union, or matrimonial contract, as recognized by the state, whereas "marriage" is a religious term. So technically, yes, I'm against someone stepping in and forcing those who's beliefs are contrary to accepting a definition that they do not agree with. I'm all for same sex couples' union being recognized by the state and given the same legal protection and rights. However, when one decrees that being against "same sex equality" is wrong, who are you to judge? Maybe that is that person's individual beliefs, and they are entitled to it." -In response to a liberal asking for clarification on my stance.
    "I'm posting this not in opposition of "marriage equality" which is a leading/loaded phrase (gov't has no business being involved in "marriage"- the word you're looking for is Civil Union or contract recognized by the state), but I posted this pic to outline the grave hypocrisy of one group crying for "equal" rights, yet many of it's members are also calling for the restriction of other rights, rights that just so happen to be outlined and defended by our Constitution (marriage, or civil union for that matter is not mentioned or outlined anywhere in the Constitution or Bill of Rights, just FYI)." -Explaining to a lesbian friend about the equal AR pic.
    "So, those who support gay marriage equality, are you also a hypocrite who also supports the infringement of 2nd Amendment rights?" -Status posted with an obviously loaded/leading question about the duality of the issue and the only reason I would have a problem with these people ("We want our rights, but to hell with yours").
    "There is no news in the truth, and no truth in the news."
    "The revolution will not be televised... Instead it will be filmed from multiple angles via cell phone cameras, promptly uploaded to YouTube, Tweeted about, and then shared on Facebook, pending a Wi-Fi connection."
