Yet another busy week for marriage equality — and that means we’re all one week closer to the day when we can finally, at long last, get married and have it count for real wherever we go.
You might never have heard the name Paul Singer (unless you work in hedge funds, in which case you probably hear his name every day). Singer’s one of the most important Republican fundraisers in the country, and he’s one of those forward-looking Republicans like Dick Cheney and Cindy McCain and Ken Mehlman who supports the freedom to marry. And he’s putting his money where his mouth is by starting a new PAC to support Republican candidates for office who agree with him.
Also making news this week is that dreadful new study that purports to show a link between gay dads and kids who grow up to be monsters. Click the video above, and let us please count the ways together in which this study is absolutely wrong.

I’m sorry, but calling Dick Cheney “forward thinking” is absurd. The man only came out in support of gay marriage after he left office and was unable to leave the U.S. for fear of being indicted on war crimes charges.
The man has nothing left to lose and I’m kind of appalled at Queerty’s ignorance here.

Hey there NYGMATGM. Before you lose any sleep worrrying about any Queerty
ignorance….get up, grab some window cleaner and paper towels…..then step in
front of the big mirror. See anything?

Anybody that is willing to support my right to marry is a friend in my book. When we are fighting tooth and nail for marriage equality, we are in no position to pick and choose who we want fighting for us. Every voice counts, even if it is a Republican. But when an establishment candidate, like Dick Cheney voices his support for us, his voice rings louder than others because he is going against his party’s norm. And I thank him for that.

I can’t stand hedge fund people. Some of them are amongst the most immoral people around. They trade on misery and speculation.
