Go Bruce! Springsteen Stands Up For Marriage Equality!
We love seeing a legendary musician taking a stand for gay rights!
Bruce Springsteen has written a letter titled A Brief Statement From Bruce in which Springsteen declares his support for New Jersey's gay marriage bill!
The bill will be voted on by the Senate on Thursday, and the cause sincerely needs all the support it can receive right now.
Writes Springsteen:
Like many of you who live in New Jersey, I’ve been following the progress of the marriage-equality legislation currently being considered in Trenton.
I’ve long believed in and have always spoken out for the rights of same sex couples and fully agree with Governor Corzine when he writes that, ‘The marriage-equality issue should be recognized for what it truly is — a civil rights issue that must be approved to assure that every citizen is treated equally under the law.’
I couldn’t agree more with that statement and urge those who support equal treatment for our gay and lesbian brothers and sisters to let their voices be heard now.
Thank you, Bruce!

*insert stupid-ass comment by buck*
Look up "KLTA Perez" on you tube. You will find a fantastic video showing Mario being handed his balls in a bag… Good stuff!
Bruce is pretty much an ass from NJ. He schould be more worried about drugs in his band since his cousin just ODed on meth and H
All civilized ,educated and moral people are for gay rights and marriage. It's only the lowlife garbage that are homophobic trash, hiding behind rightwing religon and fake moralty to disguise their hate and lack of education on human issues
Re: IRONMAN – I think you're gay IRONMAN.
OMG- the Boss is gay. He so doesn't look it!
suffering succotash! If he cares so much. Why doesn't he go marry himself a dude and have some butt love. He is a left wing whack job. I am not surprised by this.
Bruce has always been a cool guy.
MARRIAGE HAS ALWAYS BEEN AND WILL ALWAYS BE BETWEEN A MAN AND A WOMAN
Re: knowitall – wrong as always… AND VEEERY JUDGEMENTAL BTW.. remember the Bible verse that you libertards always seem to remember but fail to apply?? you know: "Judge not, that you be not judged" Matt 7:1. This would be a GREAT moment to try to apply it…
Re: Buk0wski –
Yep, because you can only support the rights of people if they're exactly like you.
Not everyone is as selfish and arrogant as the religious right.
Re: Buk0wski – I agree with that!
MESS WITH MARRIAGE…MESS WITH GOD, BITCHES!
Fuck Springsteen who hasnt had a hit in YEARS! He couldnt be faithful in marriage, so who gives a shit what he thinks or says about it!
Re: knowitall – Hide behind religion???? I stand UP for God under ANY circumstances LOUD AND CLEAR duchebag! God calls it an ABOMINATION to be gay so deal with it!

How does it affect you in anyway if same sex couples marry ? I mean unless you have to buy one of your mates a wedding pressent ?
*
I dont see how it affects you ?
*
When did you chose to be straight ?
*
How many guys did you have sex with before you decided to be straight ?
*
Maybe you are gay and just havent meet the right guy yet ?
*
What difference does it make to your life ?
Re: Buk0wski – HAHAHAHAHAHA great POINT!!!!!
Marraige has existed long before the story of your god was even wrote the oldest known and recorded marriage laws is discerned from Hammurabi's Code 1790 Before Comon Era or 1790 Before Christ (for you).
*
Marriage is a social union or legal contract between individuals that creates kinship. It is an institution in which interpersonal relationships, usually intimate and sexual, are acknowledged by a variety of ways, depending on the culture or demographic. It is not owned by your church.
*
The old will die and young support Gay marriage. It will be the legal accross the US its not if, just when.
BRRRRUUUUUUUCCCCEEEEE
(the boss has been married to patti for many years. . why do you care kissmyassobama? leave the boss out of it)
Re: kissmyassobama – 20

MARRIAGE HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH GOD!
*
FUCK YOU AND YOUR BULLSHIT GOD!!!
*
IF YOUR AGAINST GAY MARRAIGE DONT MARRY SOMEONE OF THE SAME SEX!
*
EVERYONE HAS THE RIGHT TO LOVE AND GAY LOVE SHOULD BE RECOGNISED BY THE STATE JUST AS IT IS WITH STRAIGHTS. EQUALITY WILL ALWAYS WIN IN THE END.
*
News flash: There isn't a man in the clouds watching our every move and deciding what our "fate for eternity" will be. There's no ghost that died and then rose from the dead. It's fine to have faith or hope in something but when it starts being your excuse for discrimination and hate, you have certainly crossed a line that shouldn't be respected.
Please leave your God out of everyones equal rights.
Lesbians marrying each other is not marriage equality. It is the complete takeover of the institution of family and children. Men can only pay child support in this sick arrangement.
NOW has been pushing SSM for 25 years to create the penultimate matriarchy. Anybody who thinks feminist marriage is equality is on drugs or politics.
Re: kissmyassobama – You stupid arse, why don't you try paying attention to the charts, Bruce's albums always go in at No.1 and his concerts are always sold out.
While I'm not much of a Bruce fan,I think this is pretty cool of him!
Re: knowitall – Great post! I couldn't agree more.
Re: gobux001 – Idiot! You don't have to be gay to agree with gay rights….only human!
Thank you, Mr. Springsteen!
Re: davidrusher –

Your post is kind of stupid… In Australia lesbians can access free IVF treatment which means we have a large number of same sex mums… The law recognises this and therefore the law make both parents responsible for the childs care and support.
*
"Men can only pay child support in this sick arrangement." -that statement is complety crazy thats not how the law stand now in the US. Women can and do pay child support.. so your post is far from reality.
Bruce is awesome…
does anyone ever wonder if celebrities stand up for different causes because they actually believe in it…OR ARE THEY JUST TRYING TO SELL ALBUMS AND CONCERT TICKETS, ETC?!?!?
Bruce is cool. He even covers the band Suicide. His name is marked forever in the great book of Cool.
bruce springsteen is my favorite musician ever! for all of you ignorant people who dont believe in same sex marriage, you seriously need to give your head a shake. this is 2009 people. almost 2010. EVERYBODY should have equal rights.
I am so proud to be a fan of The Boss.
yay for bruce
what a star
What a hypocrite he is. He has been married twice and he is a cheater. Better learn how to make a good marriage of your own before speaking up for others, little Brucie boy.
Re: knowitall – Wow. What a hater you are!
Another reason he's The Boss.
Good luck!
