    in spite of that administration

    Wtf are you talking about? Do you not remember DOMA being repealed which was crucial for gay marriage to pass? Here is a quick list for you to use as evidence that the Obama administration was hostile to LGBTQ people.

    plenty of pro-gay politicians in 1984

    Wtactualf are you talking about? Yes there were a handful, but being gay was ESPECIALLY a political death sentence then. Saying this just erases the fraught past we’ve had, and doesn’t recognize the INSANE amount of progress we’ve made.

    Also if you read my comment you’d recognize that argument is moot, as his current administration is what is important.

    You gotta go and audit your history YouTube channels. You’re getting some wacked info.

      the obergefell v. hodges supreme court case made doma invalid. you’re thinking of the respect for marriage act which not only had no impact but allowed for people to legally protected if they rejected gay marriage.

      hollywood and political agitators made that progress happen; while those people you’re supporting remained neutral at best and voted against it at the worst.
