The cartoon which says "Gay weddings take forever" is talking about how long it is taking for the legalization of gay marriage. In 2004, George W. Bush spoke to Congress and argued for an amendment to the constitution to say the only legal marriages were between a man and woman (http://socialissues.wiseto.com/Articles/FO3020640010/) which started a series of debates to determine whether or not same-sex marriages should be allowed and whether or not the government can have a say in the matter. Six years later, only 5 states allow same-sex marriage.
