I don't particularly like Cameron, but good on the bastard.

"All men or created equal" not "all men created equal but some more than others" tripe that seems to be filled in the conservative mindset these days.

Here's to conservatives who occasionally get it.

Too bad Ron Paul doesn't. (He supported DOMA as well as a bill that would prevent the Supreme Court from hearing cases regarding DOMA's constitutionality.)

I like Jon Huntsman but apparently being relatively scientific and reasonable is the kiss of death in the GOP.

Like I said, I don't care. Had George W. Bush established gay marriage on the federal level, I would have... well, still thought he was a fool and douche, but one who gave us gay marriage. So there would have been that, and I could have merely disliked him strongly instead of lamenting the lack of prosecution for his presidency.
