My Gay Marriage Cartoons
President Obama’s decision to come out this week in support of Gay Marriage caps a decade-long shift in the acceptance of same-sex couples in this country. Obviously, there are many religious groups and individuals that will never support the idea of two men shacking up, but the polling data is pretty interesting.
[ View our complete collection of Obama Gay Marriage cartoons ]
When the Defense of Marriage Act was signed in 1996, only 25 percent of the American public supported same-sex marriage. Since then, support has increased gradually until an August 2010 CNN poll showed majority support for same-sex marriage, where it has remained ever since.
I decided to look back into my archives. To my surprise, I’ve drawn a great number of cartoons dealing with the idea of gay marriage.
Here’s the cartoon I drew after gay marriage was legalized in California…
Here’s a cartoon I drew after the military repealed its “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy…
This is a cartoon I drew after two sex scandals rocked the GOP – one involving a congressman hiring a prostitute, and the other involving gay sex and a bathroom stall. You might guess how the reactions differed…
While society’s view of same-sex marriage has changed over the years, the GOP’s wardrobe has remained stuck in time…
Here’s a cartoon I drew back in 2004 when gay marriage became legal in Massachusetts…
And here’s how I imagined baptist preachers might respond to the growing trend of same-sex marriages…
And because no discussion of gay marriage is complete without Bert and Ernie…

Prop. 8: Gay-marriage Ban Unconstitutional
According to the LA Times, a federal appeals has reversed California’s ban on same-sex marriage, clearing the way for the U.S. Supreme Court to rule on gay marriage as early as next year.
“Proposition 8 served no purpose, and had no effect, other than to lessen the status and human dignity of gays and lesbians in California,” the court said.
We’ve had lots of great cartoons submitted to our site over the years about Proposition 8 and gay marriage in California. Here are some good ones..

Schwarzenegger’s Love Child
I was interested to read that my former California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger fathered a child more than 10 years ago outside of his marriage to Maria Shriver. It is fascinating that someone who attracts as much media attention as Schwarzenegger was able to hide something like this. Here is my new Arnold Love Child cartoon …
Looking back at our cartoon archives, we have a lot of terrific cartoons about Arnold. In fact, Cam Cardow of the Ottawa Citizen drew a cartoon back in 2003 showcasing Arnold’s “love child.”
The Los Angeles Times supported Gray Davis and came out with the story of Arnold groping women just before election day. Here was my take then:
And this was a cartoon I drew about the groping story at the time …
Arizona cartoonist Brian Fairrington touched on the groping issue in this cartoon about Schwarzenegger’s gubernatorial victory:
He also drew a funny cartoon about Arnold’s famous gap:
Regardless of the rumors, our former first lady, Maria Shriver defended Arnold during the campaign against allegations of groping and sexual abuse. Here’s Austrian cartoonist Petar Pismestrovic’s take on Austria’s favorite child …
Pismestrovic draws a terrific Arnold for Arnold-crazy Austrians. Here are a couple more of his caricatures:
I think Ottawa Citzen cartoonist Cam Cardow sums it all up with Arnold’s bumper sticker:

California Gov Brown and Taxes
Oh dear, I haven’t been good about posting my most recent cartoons – here they are. This is my annual cartoon about tax time …
This one is about the NATO bombing/no-fly-zone in Libya …
Here’s one on the Republican union bashing.
..and the looming government shutdown …
This is a local cartoon about our ridiculous, multi-billion-dollar trains to nowhere in California. Our new/old Governor Brown is eager to have an election so we can approve new taxes. With all the billions of dollars poured into the ground for a worthless Los Angeles subway, and the local $500 million dollar, most expensive high school ever built, it is hard to make a convincing argument that we need higher taxes.
Here’s my portrait of Syrian dictator Bashir al-Assad and his father, Hafez al-Assad.
Here’s another drawing of Bashir. He is fun to draw (his neck makes me laugh). As a manly cartoonist, I don’t like to put sissy labels on my caricatures; regrettably, most people don’t know what Bashir looks like, and he needs a label – still, I’m no sissy cartoonist.

Shooty’s California Flag Cartoon
Everyone here knows how much I like to abuse the poor bear on California’s flag.
Well now my buddy, Slovak cartoonist Martin “Shooty” Sutovec, has decided to draw a California flag cartoon of his own. That poor bear has suffered mightily at the hands of cartoonists.
