Attorney General Refuses To Defend Gay Marriage Ban, Breaks Down Crying. Humanity Cheers.
The marriage equality issue is clear to me. But it's even easier to understand when it's broken down into human language, as opposed to political talk.
Kentucky's attorney general hits the nail on the head when he says, "It's about placing people over politics."
To hear him speak from his heart, stick around until 3:56. That's when he talks so honestly and openly that he made me have feelings and stuff.

he may be crying because he thinks he just threw away his political career by doing the right thing.
breath of fresh air and common decency.
Sometimes I look back at this country's history & ask myself what was the REAL reason oppressive orders like the enslavement of Blacks or the barricades keeping women from voting came tumbling down.
I get cynical & say that they opened those doors for financial reasons or that they found a better way to oppress & did those things to give the illusion of freedom.
And I'm sure that's not far off the mark. It wasn't ALL benevolence why these things changed.
But also at the root of these changes is just what it seems on the surface.
Decent fair-minded people finally saying "That's enough" & following through from their positions of authority.
Sometimes it's really just good people who truly believe that everybody deserves a place at the table.
Sometimes it's just that simple.
Thank you Jack Conway for doing what's right.
This is a Civil Rights issue & we have already been down this road already with the Separate but Equal nonsense.
Gays should have the right to marry just like any other adult.
The foolishness behind these 'gay marriage ban' proposals is REALLY the same thing those fools did in Uganda...
...They're trying to ban GAYS! Hahahahahaha!
You can't ban gays. They exist. Every gay came from a straight.
Their existence doesn't tear holes in the ozone layer, cause random forest fires, or destructive hurricanes.
They don't magically turn you gay if you're around them. The trait is inborn not contagious.
They're not doing anything to anybody. Let them live their lives.
Leave 'em alone & mind your own damn business.
Worry about some real problems for a change & quit obsessing about this gay thing.
Besides where would you get your interior designers & WNBA stars from if you banned gaydom? 
That's a joke guys. Don't take it seriously.
