“President Obama came out in favor of same sex marriage. I thought he was very careful to not to offend in his statement. I thought he chose his words very carefully and with great consideration. To all the people who are offended that the man would be ok with two same sex people tying the knot, you only offend yourself. No one is trying to offend you. Not the president or anyone else. Some people just want to be happy and be together in this very short life, that’s it. Billy Graham’s son said the president has shaken his fist at god. Oh, the drama. Rand Paul said, oh wait a minute, I don’t care at all what that corny coward says about anything. It’s all so troubling, isn’t it? Equality in the land of the free and the home of the brave is upsetting some people. Good. Great. Outstanding.” — Henry Rollins, Dispatch, 5/13/12 (via pigtailsandcombatboots)
