Jon Stewart gets it right when he rounds up the Supreme Court arguments against gay marriage in a segment titled “You got nothin’.”
“They tried everything, starting with the good old classic slippery slope…When women fought for suffrage, nobody was like, ‘Well, what if one day a dog wants to vote? How ’bout that ladies?'”
Then he moves on to Justice Roberts’ comments that “closing the debate” by favoring same-sex marriage rights would also “close minds” — that people are more likely to change their views on something if they have the chance to vote than if it’s imposed on them by the courts.
Stewart pulls up a photo of a man with a “God hates fags” sign, reasoning, “If you don’t impose gay marriage, folks like this will be more openminded to evolving their position.” With that, the sign switches to “Fags are okay.”
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
Watch below and see Jon’s prediction for June:

With all of the talk about Congressman Aaron Schock being a closet case, has anybody seen the interview with the young lawyer heading up the anti-gay arguments in front of the Supreme Court?
I almost feel bad for what he will probably go through emotionally in a few years when he finally comes out of the closet. After watching his interview there can be no doubt, this guy makes Lindsay Graham look butch.

@Cam:
Selling his soul to make a name for himself. How can he live with himself, and how has nobody called him out?

I am so going to miss Jon Stewart when he leaves the Daily Show. He will be hard to replace.
Giancarlo85
Yep. That young lawyer is getting a paycheck. He will make stupid arguments. I don’t see how this will help his career.

I wish it were Bill Maher who was retiring instead of Jon Stewart. You can tell Stewart is a true and sincere advocate of gay civil rights.

Marriage Equality Will Be The Law Of The Land In June!

Oh good. Jon Liebowitz has spoken and now liberals know what to think.
Troy E. Pelaar
Jon just knows how to bring it home!

@Kieran: No he’s not, he just likes to pretend he is for same gender marriage and LGBT rights.

@Rob Schellinger: said.. “Oh good. Jon Liebowitz has spoken and now liberals know what to think.

It’s always funny when trolls come in and try to defeat an argument by not posting any facts.
If you disagree with the arguments he put forward, by all means, point out where he is wrong. Since you obviously cant do that, I guess you’ll just have to sit back and suffer, because your little post just made you look foolish. Oh, and of course, the way you point out his Jewish last name, would also seem to indicate that that is something people should “know” so it also makes you seem fairly anti-Semitic also. You’ll fit right in at the next Eagle Forum meeting.

@Cam:
Is 43 (and married with 5 kids) really that young?

@billjones:
My mistake, he merely looks and sounds like a 21 year old towel boy at a fire island tea dance. I guess staying in the closet and out of the sun has been really good for his skin.

The right-wing kooks should have at least told the chump lawyer to take the chiffon out of his mouth before speaking. THEY shamelessly used one of US for that charade, and HE went along with it, for whatever reason.

@Bauhaus: Because no reputable attorney would agree to say the stupid things that he did perhaps?
