In reply to the discussion: NJ Gov. Christie vetoes gay marriage bill as vowed [View all]Twinguard
(531 posts)21. As a straight guy who lives on the opposite side of the country...
I want to say a great big FUCK YOU to Christie.
I'm not gay, so I don't really have a dog in this fight. But to be the governor of a state filled with people of all different stripes and to openly discriminate against a specific group of them is disgusting. We are all equal, even if we dig different things.
As an aside, I also am displeased with my fellow liberals calling Christie a fat fuck. He may be a fuck of the highest order, but to call him out for being fat... well, that's not cool. Fat people have feelings, too. (no snark here, I'm being serious)
