Gay Marriage Reversal Means Cash For Obama

socialuprooting:

President Barack Obama’s endorsement of gay marriage carries a political cost, but it also means floods of cash from wealthy gay donors and disillusioned young people eager to be inspired by him again.

After three years of political compromise on issues from health care reform to spending cuts, Obama delivered a surprise gift to what many of his core supporters view as the civil rights issue of the day, simply by saying what everyone assumed he believed. But the distinction between implying a change and saying it outright will more than symbolic in the crucial area of campaign fundraising. Already, gay donors, mostly men, reportedly constitute 1 in 6 of Obama’s top fundraisers known as bundlers. And in the first 90 minutes after the news broke Wednesday, the campaign received $1 million in spontaneous contributions, a Democrat told BuzzFeed.

Amendment One has passed in North Carolina.

stfuprolife:

Same-sex marriage is now officially banned in the North Carolina State Constitution, as well as civil unions and domestic partnerships.

I know it’s not really relevant to this blog.

But my heart is fucking breaking for the people there.

thelittlekneesofbees: theoceanandthesky: absolucion: thedailywhat: Marketing Campaign of the Day: As if it weren’t enough that North Carolina already doesn’t recognize same-sex unions, the state votes next Tuesday on a ballot measure that reads: “Constitutional amendment to provide that marriage between one man and one woman is the only domestic legal union that shall be valid or recognized by this State.” This ad campaign, by Winston-Salem agency The Variable, plays on segregation-era discrimination to shock voters into voting down the offensive legislation, called Amendment 1: “On May 8th, make history. Don’t repeat it.” Yes, please. [adsoftheworld] This campaign isn’t okay… one more time y’all. all oppressions are connected but not every oppression is THE SAME. I said it this morning and I say it again.  Gay IS NOT the new Black. Black is still under attack. I’m still exist as a marginalized person who isn’t seen as a complex human being to most people but instead a punchline. And I represent both the queer and afro-carribbean community. I get it but NO it’s not the same oppression. I can’t even hide or pass at being white, and ^ THOSE FUCKING SIGNS DON’T EVER EXIST ANYWHERE. so stahp.
