Within a week we might have all Democrats supporting equal marriage rights, and before the summer hits who knows how many republicans will also join our cause. The pressure is on the be on the right side of history before it's too late. It only seems like yesterday when I saw Bush on TV saying how much he wants a gay marriage ban in the constitution, and now it seems like people can't be for equal marriage rights fast enough. Behold the power of coming out and revealing the face of gay to be none other then your friends, family and loved ones.
