      Perez, what would you prefer? McCain and the tundra princess? Look at everything that's been going on! Economy is in the shitter, two wars, helath care, unemployment is sky rocketing, etc… While I am all for gay marriage, I can also see how it's not that high on the agenda. Also, how many states have legalized gay marriage since he's been in office? Not to mention the fact that he's been in office less than a year. Are you aware that he hasn't cured cancer and AIDS yet either?
      Show some patience man! Everyone is hurting after the last 8 years, and we all have a stake in Obama's Presidency in some way or another.



    2. 202

      He hated and dispised gays when he lived in Illinois, what did these fools expect of him when he became Prez. Look at all of the lies and money he has spent in the last six months. LIBERAL AMERICANS ARE THE BIGGEST BUNCH OF DUMB ASSES ON EARTH.



    3. 203

      he can't be everything to everyone — yeah, you have issues, yeah they have to be addressed — but the economy is in the crapper and he's done a decent job of preventing the recession from turning into a depression — adn we have 2 wars happening

      the nation won't implode if you cna't get married this year (look at it as delaying the inevitable divorce!) — it will happen — there's something called the greater good and that's the economy and healthcare right now — you may be right in principle on many of these issues, these are human/civil rights, but the big mid-section of the country disagrees

      keep up the fight but stop the hate — do you think old man McCain would have even acknowledged you



    4. 204

      next time the gays can vote republican.



    5. 205

      Focus on the real issues Obama has to clean up - Give him a break - Where are your damn priorities you spoiled little brat?! You are a disgrace to all gays in Central Florida!



    6. 206

      Re: stoneycreek – And Bush was any better? Stop hating so much on every pres who is in office - give credit where credit is due!

      Re: Ozz465 – Amen! This pub is just running its credibility into a hole - can't wait for it to fizzle out



    8. 208

      obama rules so back off all you gays you too perez you suck dick well you wish you did



    9. 209

      Amen.



    10. 210

      When did this man say he was going to legalize gay marriage? No offense but this is not a priority right now! We are in the middle of a recession, our friends, brothers and sister are still dying in Iraq! He has to prioritize and this is just not that important right now sorry but its true!



    11. 211

      OBAMA SUCKS!!! Perez, I hope you're not so biased in your political coverage next time around…and get real, Obama can't fix our economy he tried and failed miserably I hope all you "yes we can!" idiots are kicking yourselves in the butts for falling for his bs



    12. 212

      He has yet to deliver in every area. He is slacking all around and I am so glad I didn't vote for this man. he is going to screw us all and our children future also!!! He is to immature to handle this job we need someone with more experience and knowledge not someone to make everything worse the Bush did!!



    13. 213

      BEING A GAY MAN I THINK IT'S ABSURD THAT GAY PEOPLE ARE PRESSING THIS ISSUE. I DO WANT TO GET MARRIED. BUT FIRST I WANT A JOB! SECONDLY, WHY DOES EVERYONE THINK THAT JUST BECAUSE OBAMA IS BLACK HE'S MAGIC. IT TOOK 8 YEARS FOR GEORGE BUSH TO FUCK UP OUR ECONOMY WHY DOES EVERYONE THINK THAT HE CAN FIX IT IN 8 MONTHS.



    14. 214

      When the fuck are people going to stop blaming Bush? Obama is in office now. Yes, it's only been 7 months, but what CHANGE have you seen? Well, I've seen the unemployment rate climb, the trillions of dollars in debt in a short period, bailing out companies that shouldn't have been. Did Bush do that? NOPE. Obama and the fucking democrats did that. Obama does not believe in Gay marriage. However, he did mention something about overturning don't ask, don't tell, which, BTW, exists to protect the gays in the military. If you all wanted a Democrat in there so bad, you should've put Hilary in there. She has more balls than Obama and would've done a hell of a lot more by now. Oh, and this cash for clunkers program, yeah, let's see how many people default on those loans. It was probably just like the housing shit that the democrats started by giving everyone a loan. fucking idiots. I didn't vote for him, but I have to live with it. At least in 4 years when this country is beyond broke it won't be on my conscious.



    15. 215

      I think this shitty magazine lost a lot of credibility when they put Porkez Pibil (aka) Garfield in the cover.



    16. 216

      SHIT THE FUCK UP YOU BITCHES!
      We've got other priorities then you getting fucking married you selfish fucks.
      Now you're alienating your heter base.

      Genius!



    17. 217

      Seriously, he has only been president for six or seven months. You can't change everything that quickly, give the guy a chance. And while I hope he does help the gay/lesbian community obtain the equal rights they deserve, at the moment it is not the most pressing need this country has. We have a lot of very large problems that need to be worked on before we can tackle other issues.



    18. 218

      It looks like some people forgot their over prescribed meds…..give the guy a year at least. You can't change the majority of the peoples' feelings on this issue overnight…. I hope when you guys are allowed to legally marry you're more patient than this, if not lets see how long those non-traditional marriages last.



    19. 219

      Re: ChicChicChic – Agreed. Please tell that to the ignorant on 214.



    20. 220

      He's been president for 6 months. I think he's got alot more important things on his plate than throwing a gay pride parade. That is the only thing that seems to please the gays nowadays. This is ridiculous. Learn politics, then start talking. And its a shame that gay people are throwing this at him considering how long it took for black people to even get to this level. Shame on you all!



    21. 221

      lol oooohhhh shit. I'll give him at least a bit more time before really getting pissed about his handling of gay rights though, I think.

      I like the caption at the bottom too. Both good questions.



    22. 222

      I certainly hope that the Advocate was joking … it's been six months. Any president would have to worry about the economy first. Gay rights are not on the top of the list right now … sorry. Just trying to sell a few more mags.



    23. 223

      Equal rights and marriage and all that is important.. but there are alot more serrious things going on right now. I mean hello the economy.. ummm maybe some national security issues.. just shit like that. Obama is not your savior, he never said he was. He is doing the job he was ellected to do and keep America safe and employed… so just relax on the god damn marriage thing.



    24. 224

      I guess I'm going to have to sit on the back of the bus until the economy gets better, all wars are won, socialized health care is rammed down our throats, I'll take a number and wait, which is what we are all going to be doing when socialized health care takes over LMAO!!! Fuck u all!!! loosers that voted for this shit stain!

    25. brio says – reply to this


      225

      Wow. There are more pressing issues. Not only that, NObama said he didn't believe in gay marriage. I am certain he believes that gays should have certain rights to & with their partner but he did say he didn't believe in gay marriage. The economy is going down hill and this is you worry? Move on and stop being a cry baby. YOU voted for him. SUCKA!



    26. 226

      Re: U_SUCK_DONKEY_DICKS – excellent and TRUE!!!



    27. 227

      mmmm let me see a black man and a 1/2 muslim???? so surprised he has not "set my people free" those 2 groups have always been sooo suportive of gay rights!!! LMAO!!! you people are fucking morons!



    28. 228

      Personally, I am all for gay marriage, but Obama has NEVER claimed to believe in gay marriage. In fact, during the campaign Obama said that gay marriage was the one issue that he and John McCain agreed on. He has always been against gay marriage.

    29. kjen says – reply to this


      229

      Why did it come as a shock that he isn't going to support gays. He made it clear during the election. He went to a church for 20 years that preached hate against every group…including gays, and he sat and listened to the hate. What makes gay people think he's going to do anything for them? I think it's sad that gays vote for a dem just because they think that's the "yes" party for gay rights when clearly it isn't.

    30. kjen says – reply to this


      230

      Meghan McCain has done more for gays than Obama probably will. She speaks out about gay rights and is all for it and goes around talking to groups etc. I see more bias against gays coming from within the liberal party than I do the other way around. I'm republican, I'm all for gay rights. You just picked the wrong guy to further your cause. I hope some of you gay people will support people like Meghan who DO speak out on your behalf even tho she considers herself a republican, at least she's lending a voice of support in your direction.

      231

      His "Hope and Change" was a bunch of hype on many levels.



    32. 232

      He reminds me of the commercial about "credit fairy dust". Those who drank Obama's Koolaid were fools. Obama is the master baitor of all time… he said what he had to say to get elected. It's all about him. "Make no mistake… let me be clear… all of you are too stupid to know what is best… " His greatest fear is rejection. It's not that he disappointed a group of GLBTs…. as long as you are stupid enough to continue to believe in the change he is bringing he knows you'll worship at his feet. It's not about the country at all… it's him… him… him….



    33. 233

      BOO FUCKING HOO PEREZ!!!!!! Jesus! There are WAAAAAY more important things that this country has to worry about OTHER than "Gay marriage"! Obama even said from the start that he didn't support gay marriage, only civil unions, so shut the fuck up! You gays need to get your heads out of your asses! I'm all for gay marriage, but Obama himself said that it's better for the states to decide, the federal government has more important things to focus on. Lets see:
      national security > gay marriage
      recession > gay marriage
      health care > gay marriage
      Get the point?



    34. 234

      U GUYS NEED TO GIVE HIM TIME!!! U THINK HE CAN SNAP AND EVERYTHINGS DONE?? SORRY IT DON'T WORK LIKE THAT!! JUST BE PATIENT AND GIVE HIM A CHANCE!!!



    35. 235

      OK gays, pull your panties out of your ass. We are at war, the housing market crashed, no jobs, and so much more! I guess he is suppose to put everything on hold to wipe your ass.



    36. 236

      Re: weRone – Dumb bitch! You don't need to be married to be in love! There's lot's of love, but where are you going to get the money to have a wedding or go on dates and all when you're laid off? Huh? Exactly! You don't need to be married to be in love with someone, there's no law against gays being together, dating, or even living in the same house. They just can't marry in all the 50 states. Grow the fuck up and get your head out of your ass. Unfortuantely, money is more important than MARRIAGE! Not love!



    37. 237

      Re: **Me**Luv**Gaga** – hey you racist piece of shit take your fucking hate somewhere else! dumb bitch!



    38. 238

      It annoys me to hear so many people say "he has other priorities." Yes. He does. And Lyndon Johnson had a couple little problems called the cold war with the russians and the Vietnam war (remember them?), yet he still managed to make civil rights a major priority, enhanced voting rights and sought the end of desegregation from very early on in his presidency..and he was from the SOUTH. When you are president and you see injustice done, you take action even if you don't fully complete the task. Obama has done near zero and offers no estimate of when he will do anything and what he will do. And -news flash- this is NOT all just about marriage (which is big enough) it's also many thousands of honorably-serving GLBT military who are being denied opportunity to serve because of DADT (which BO could nix almost single-handedly) and it's about employment and housing rights. Most don't know this but any GLBT person in America can be fired or evicted on the basis that his/her boss or landlord disapproves of his/her lifestyle. I think THAT is important. Maybe not to ALL of you, but when even one minority is denied equality, America is something less than it professes to be.



    39. 239

      you're gonna turn your back on the president because he follows the bible?
      we have more IMPORTANT things to worry besides people getting married.



    40. 240

      Re: Whatupperez22 – wow thats the best you got? he's raised taxes on cigerettes? get over yourself



    41. 241

      Re: chrisjman – while i do agree with some of what you've just said um those were different time periods my friend and we are in worse conditions give him time to fix these problems…change doesn't happen overnight



    42. 242

      Re: secreto – Well the way I figure, if I was gay, being allowed to marry wouldn't mean shit if one of us was dieing of an illness because we didn't have health care, we don't actually have the money to have a wedding because one of us is laid off or our hours are cut, or some country like North Korea or Afghanistan blows us up first. So no, I'd still feel the same. Obama's not superman. He can't tackle every issue at once. The man hasn't even been in office for a fucking year yet! It took Bush 8 years to fuck up the country, and it's going to take Obama a long time to fix Bush's mess! Bush started with a surplus of money, then when he left we was a 3 TRILLION dollar DEBT! And actually, since Obamas been in office, the rate of unemployment has slowed and the housing market, with the exception of foreclosures, has been doing remarkably better. One step at a time guys…



    43. 243

      Re: Melanie_Marie8 – Melanie - what Putrid Perez fails to tell you is that The Advocate magazine also trashed Perez himself and turned their backs on him. Did you see Perez link to that? Nope! The Advocate called Perez "Putrid Perez" and contained hundreds of letters from the gay community talking about how revolting the gay community is with Perez.



    44. 244

      Re: ski chick – Oh yeah, because Mccain and crazy (sarah) are sooooo much better! Please! All they would do is tax the small buisnesses and middle class people who don't have any extra money. How the fuck is that saving the economy when the majority of the people in the country don't have money to buy things and certainly no extra money for heavy taxing! At least since obamas been in office the rate of unemployment has SLOWED drastically! Get your head out of the republicans asses!



    45. 245

      Wow this is abosolutely ridiculous. I love Obama and I will admit I am still waiting for the change and progess..but he owes nothing to the gays and he has MANY more important things to worry about. MANY MANY MANY other things. I am pro-gay marriage but I'm really getting tired of the gays and starting to back out of my support because they're so self-centered and self-whoring. Just SHUT UP for a damn minute and worry about important issues like our economy and health care.



    46. 246

      What the hell do you think Messiah Dumbama is going to do? Ballet Dancer Rahm has already said they are going to do that - proving they LIED to the American people. But then, what more can we expect from the most politically corrupt and morally bankrupt political party in US history!



    47. 247

      I'm an advocate of gay rights, but I watched the BIDEN-PALIN debate, and when the gay marriage issue came up I remembered Joe Biden saying that there was nothing to debate about because he and Obama both agreed with Mccain and Palin's stance on the issue.
      So… I guess my point is that they were never in favor of gay rights.



    48. 248

      it is not just the gay community that has lost hope! We are all over the lack of his ability to follow through!



    49. 249

      Six months on the job and you Americans honestly thought that President Obama should have fixed everything by now?
      Your expectations are ridiculously UNREALISTIC.
      You don't want a President,, you want a super hero that does not exist .. only in your delusional minds!!!



    50. 250

      Not surprised considering he said during the campaign he wouldn't do anything about gay marriage. I got that the first time.



    51. 251

      You were all idiots to fall for him. He's no Savior.

      Re: Sweetmomma – the wedding industry is a BILLION DOLLAR industry, if homosexuals were allowed to get married that alone is MILLIONS OF DOLLARS GOING INTO THE ECONOMY. think before you speak about things that you have no idea about.

    56. 256

      Gays should have the same rights BUT lately Gays act like a bunch of whinners. The man has only been in the office for 6mo, it's not like he didn't have a recession, war(s), etc. etc. to deal with but all Gays are worried about is their "rights" you get the same rights as everyone else EXCEPT the marriage deal…boo hoo….there are more important issues to be dealt with now.



    57. 257

      perez, i hate you…



    58. 258

      he's done absolutely NOTHING but put our country in debt for generations to come!



    59. 259

      HES A PRESIDENT NOT A MAGICIAN…HE CANT CHANGE SHIT OVER NIGHT



    60. 260

      WAIT?Does this issue have the exact quote where Obama specifically said he would help the gays?Because I'd really like to read these non-existant words. I have a couple of words for you gays "self-righteous" and "entitlement." No one promised you anything…you're demanding something that never was promised to you. Dont attack Obama for something he didnt do or say he was going to do. Just continue fighting for your cause without bashing someone for no good reason…hypocrites.



    61. 261

      Re: stoneycreek – in our government system..its hard to do anything quickly…thats the way it was made.people are so stupid. we wont even see the reprecussions for his actions until he's out of office. why do you think presidents look like the aged 20 yrs in 4? Its the hardest job in the country with the most pressure and criticism…I'd like to see any of you do better.Its hard to please eveyone,muchless and entire nation.Cut him some g-damn slack. Maybe next time ya'll wont put a candidate so high on "hope" and expectations only to find that he's only one person,one human who has flaws and faults like all of us…why do people expect presidents to be super-human?



    62. 262

      stfu!!!!! as you seen with most presidents…..their work shows well after they leave office..he hasnt even reached the quarter mark. perez is making me hate gays. yall bitch to damn much.



    63. 263

      Screw all of y'all that say this is no big deal. Sorry, but this is our lives. You take this things for granted.

      Double fuck you to those who are just ignorant. Why don't you crawl out of your mommy's basement and get some son? Or, are you busy making fake Obama birth certificates? Fools, all.



    64. 264

      This guy is deliberately destroying our country and all you care about is gay rights? Grow up!!!



    65. 265

      Re: pauleky – no one said it wasnt a big deal…gays make up less than half of the whole nation's population…but the recession on the other hand, does affect EVERYONE. A small minority (which also can move to places where marriage is legal) cant be so selfish as to think they are more important than everyone going through a crisis. and I dont live with my mom, I live in a house with my fiancee.And last thing I want is a son. And if you dont like Obama…wouldnt you encourage things like making "fake obama birth certificates?"



    66. 266

      ALL YOU 'HANGERS ON' WHO WERE OUT FOR THE 'COOL' RIDE SHOULD HAVE BACKED HILLARY!!!
      .
      ELECTING A PRESIDENT IS AN IMPORTANT DECISION!
      .
      ALL OF YOU HOLLYWOOD/MEDIA LACKIES WERE TOO BUSY HAVING PARTIES AND SUPPORTING SOMEONE YOU KNEW WAS NOT ONLY INEXPERIENCED BUT FAKE FAKE FAKE!!!
      .
      ALL FOR THE SAKE OF BEING COOL!!
      .
      THANKS FOR FORCING THE REST OF US TO LEARN YOUR HARD LESSON ALONGSIDE OF YOU!!!!



    67. 267

      Obama has stated that he doesn't support gay marriage, so lol.



    68. 268

      gay rights are not as important as human rights. that is, we need to fix the economy, health insurance problems etc, before something as trivial as say gay marriage, which obama didnt support to begin with. he HAS only been in office a shot time. give him at least a year before bitching and complaining. i was never that into obama but now that he is our president, then i will give him some time to fix all the woes of america. it takes time to fix things that took years to break down.



    69. 269

      plus, the advocate is not a very relevent magazine these days. very few gay people , let alone straight read or even care about the advocate.

      leave obama alone i love obama and gay ppl but why all the fighting when we can be loving.. is probably a made up story …i sure he will take care of everything but giving time at least we love obama and he has a great personality and lets face it at least he is not bush the man that hates himself the ppl and probably everybody in america IS JUST A MATTER OF TIME



    73. 273

      clever



    74. 274

      lol ok who you gonna run to now republicans hahaha they want to burn you bitches alive calm the fuck down there are bigger things to worry about



    75. 275

      BAAAA-baaaa…the SHEEPLE ARE POSTING…baaaaaa. Same old post - X's different times. I tried to post earlier - was maybe censored. Maybe we'll see how tired regular folks are of being censored. Some bloated, fish-bellied, wanna-be-girl-boys shouldn't be able to censor. Bottom line is this: Do not quote politics that you DO NOT KNOW. If you do not know what the industrial military complex, Austrian vs. Keynesian Economics is, or have NOT read the CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA in it's ENTIRETY - If you have not OR DO NOT KNOW what any of these things mean, do the rest of us a favor. STFU. Go do some HEAVY READING. DO NOT POST (or Vote for that matter), until you know WTF you speak/post of. The rest of us do not need to read your infantile, sad, pathetic, ignorant attempts at politics. Obomba is a NEO-CON PUPPET. Do some research & then post.
      O.B.A.M.A. = O.ne B.ig A.ss M.istake A.merica.



    76. 276

      perez and gays, please stop complaining about this, i support gay marriage but seriously, we are getting out of a recessin, we all need jobs so please stop saying obama's not doing anything for the gays. at least he's not opposed to gay rights unlike our last president who tried to get rid of it.



    77. 277

      So you consider him a failure already?



    78. 278

      THAT is why I am proud to be Canadian.



    79. 279

      I agree with others, Obama has much more important things to worry about, like sorting out this financial crisis and getting the soldiers out of Iraq. Ok Perez??? And you'd bet Gaga's ass wipes that the Republicans wouldn't give a flying fuck about your rights, so just give the man a chance will ya?



    80. 280

      Obama said from the beginning that he wasn't for gay marriage as well as Joe biden!!! so your thinking is delusional because he never promised you anything!



    81. 281

      Seriously the man has been in office for a little over 6 mths….just freakin chill

      Re: Sweetmomma – I agree with sweetmomma everybudy needs to clam down n worry about how it's a recession!!!! I love Gay People!!! But im sure there will b a day wen u can get married freely and openly. That day just isnt now :d



    84. 284

      I find it sad you're bitching about Obama when he supported gay rights unlike Mccain's old ass and his "marriage is a union between one man and one woman". Even if you did want another candidate besides Obama and Mccain it didn't end like that. Deal with it.
