I’m glad that an arena full of Republicans
stood up to applaud when I said I was proud
to be gay, because gay pride shouldn’t be a
partisan issue. All people deserve respect,
and nobody’s sexuality should be made a
public fixation.
From the 2016 party platform[1] of that arena full of Republicans[2]: In Obergefell, five unelected lawyers
robbed 320 million Americans of their
legitimate constitutional authority
to define marriage as the union of
one man and one woman.
And, to the people who will say 'Obergefell is simply antithetical to Republicans because it's a states' rights issue,' you're not fooling anyone.----
