We Have Some Bad News for Everyone ‘Moving to Canada’ After Marriage Equality Ruling

If you’re not a supporter of marriage equality in the United States, you’re probably vowing to do what lots of people do when the government does something you don’t like: move to Canada.

Not surprisingly, however, most people who have been caught making this mistake have deleted their tweets, backed away from them (“I was joking! We can’t tell jokes anymore? Are jokes banned now instead?”), or made their accounts private, but here is a bunch of screencapped missives that could not escape the pillory:

Sorry, patriots! You’re just going to have to go to Russia or Iran.
