GAY MARRIAGE
"We're not the Democratic Party. We're not the Republican Party. We're the After Party." These words straight from Miami Beach mayoral candidate Steve Berke's mouth are pretty much his mantra. Yes, he is a stand-up comedian that uses profanity and makes music parody videos that he posts on YouTube, but insists that his intent to seek public office is not a joke.
Berke says the inspiration to run for mayor came from making fun of politicians as part of his stand-up routines.
His website is far removed from your typical politician's because, well, he isn't one. With a section of his website devoted entirely to models that might bring you an absentee ballot form to his Frat-tastic campaign ads to the whack-a-mayor game where players try to knock the incumbent mayor Bower on the head, this dude is definitely trying something different. He even proudly displays his "Should Be Legalized" music video that he created over a year ago, so he's definitely got the stoner vote, if stoners actually vote, that is.
On Tuesday, California’s Supreme Court decided to uphold the state’s ban on gay-marriage, and many Hollywood celebrities are not happy. Some held messages at protests, like the sign Kathy Griffin carried with her mother: “Gay Marriage—I’ll drink to that!” Others, like Drew Barrymore, took to their Twitter accounts to voice outrage over the ruling. Here’s what the celebs are saying about the decision:
“I don’t want to live in a world where Prop 8 exists… It’s who I am. You cannot define a family… I will fight for as long as it takes.” –Drew Barrymore
