Courage

And then, because they’re alone in a classroom and have been in a stable, loving relationship for more than a year and having sex for months, they kiss. Okay, well, they don’t, due to a double standard the size of Sue’s latest Nationals trophy.

And we wonder why the Klaine fandom does things like bid $4,200 at a charity auction to get a script showing the cut scene where Blaine gives Kurt a ring for Christmas, since the chances of seeing actual intimacy between these two boys on the air are right up there with Sugar Motta replacing Rachel as New Directions’ main soloist.

The board of the N.A.A.C.P. voted to endorse same-sex marriage on Saturday, putting the weight of the country’s most prominent civil rights group behind a cause that has long divided some quarters of the black community.

The largely symbolic move, made at the group’s quarterly board meeting in Miami, puts the N.A.A.C.P. in line with President Obama, who endorsed gay marriage a little over a week ago. Given the timing, it is likely to be viewed as both a statement of principle as well as support for the president’s position in the middle of a closely contested presidential campaign.

All but two of the organization’s 64 board members, who include many religious leaders, backed a resolution supporting same-sex marriage, according to people told of the decision.

Borrowing a term used by gay right’s advocates, the resolution stated: “We support marriage equality consistent with equal protection under the law provided under the Fourteenth Amendment of the United States Constitution.”

In a statement, Roslyn M. Brock, chairwoman of the board, said that “we have and will oppose efforts to codify discrimination into law.”
