Bloomberg Defends Same-Sex Marriage in State That Rejected It ("Gay Week" continues...)
NY Times ^ | 5/13/12 | MICHAEL M. GRYNBAUM

Posted on 05/13/2012 2:20:51 PM PDT by jimbo123

Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg, in a commencement address at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill on Sunday, delivered a spirited defense of the right of gays and lesbians to marry, just days after North Carolina passed an amendment that banned the practice.

“Each and every generation has removed some barrier to full participation in the American dream,” the mayor said. “I would argue last week’s referendum banning same-sex marriage shows just how much more work needs to be done to ensure freedom and equality for all people.”

Bloomie the Putz. Typical ignoramus who ignores the absolute shredding of the Constitution over the last two years but sees fit to come up with this nonsense.

Why would any rational, thinking person invite Michael Bloomberg to address a university commencement? Oops, university faculty and staff are not necessarily rational or thinking people.

Bloomberg, changes his position so much that he shows his Romney envy.

It was Chapel Hill, too. Bloomie would fit right in there.

I don’t know about you, but I’ve had quite enough of “Gay Week.” It think it’s been more like “Gay Decade,” actually.

When did we start worshipping gay people, anyway?

Bloomberg refuses to get married to his live-in girlfriend yet pushes for gay “marriage.” He is the morally corrupt symbol of our decadent elite culture.

<<<< When did we start worshiping gay people anyway? <<<<<

The mainstream media decides that. Now sit down and shut up!

What if you were a parent who had sacrificed to put your kid through UNC-Chapel Hill and then you had to listen to this crap on his graduation day? I’d be tempted to sue.

I never knew that being a married faggot was part of the American Dream

I think Bloomie had a nightmare.

This is really getting intolerable. This idiot comes to NC and tries to lecture us on a topic that we just got done voting on. Bloomberg needs to STFU and go back to NY. Obama needs to STFU and just go play some golf or something. All this gay freakiness is just over the top now, really sickening. I guess this calls for an extra FUBO.

As a resident of Raleigh (near The Peoples’ Republic of Chapel Hill), I second your motion.

There’s a guy with real moral standing for sure. That’s about all he does is make holier than thou moral pronouncements.

Apparently today commencement speeches are merely a convenient place for leftists to spout the latest party line on the issue of the day. Bloomberg can kiss my *ss.

Everytime I hear some politician talking about how wonderful gay marraige is and how happy and in love these people are, it not only gags me, but I think the defenders must be gay too. No normal man would talk so gushingly about gay marraige if he weren’t gay himself.
