It’s nice that Springsteen is on our side but how about the rock musicians that have actually come out?
Rob Halford, Judas Priest.
Gaahl, vocalist of Gorgoroth.
I’d love to see NOM try to debate Gaahl.
One look at him and they’d run out of the room screaming.

Is a man who has cheated on his wife someone anyone should look to for marriage advice? Gay or straight? This guy falls in “love” every other year or so. His wife finds out and he writes a song to make it up to her. Marriage like that sounds great, eh. I wonder how mike vick feels about gay marriage. Can we ask him next? Right after we ask him why he was on trial for purposely giving herpes to someone.

As a Springsteen fan I was genuinely impressed and proud when I found out that he had came out so strongly in support of same-sex marriage in New Jersey. While it obviously didn’t sway a vote in our favor, it was a strong statement.

Mr. Springsteen is a voice of the people. He does write anthems about ordinary people and extraordinary situations. The stories he conveys through his songs have always been uniquely American.

To me, for Bruce to take a firm stand like this does add a sort of symbolic American embrace of homosexuals as “real”, First Class Americans.

It certainly leaves me as an even bigger fan!

Springstein’s home town, Asbury Park, has had a large gay community since the early 70′s.
