Sorry, I prefer the age old (and sexist) views that men are supposed to act like men and women are supposed to act like women. It's directly un-healthy to me when I can't find a guy who doesn't cry harder than I do during The Notebook.

P.S. And the whole AIDS thing, but we all know that doesn't really effect mostly the gay community. (Shhhhhh).

Actually my H.S. had an abstinence based program and there were many comments about if one is going to have sex (even if they aren't ready) that condoms are a must. Just because an abstinence based program says it's better to wait doesn't mean the people are total idiots.

Yeah, very macho. I agree, but I don't want it to be taught at school.

Yeah, that's what magic johnson thought too.

I don't recall an election being won because of two or three issues. I want to see a person with wide, indepth experience in political savvy, not someone who has never led a parade much less a Nation. I want a strong foreign relations background (years) and willingness to lead and support the military to the hilt. Guts, experience in Government (years) and the ability to make the hard decisions and the willingness to accept the consequences for those actions.

As far as those qualifications are concerned, the Democrats dropped the ball passing up Governor Bill Richardson. He and Senator Joe Biden were the only two people who fit those qualifications. But, that's what happens when people vote for the person who makes them feel good rather than someone who will be good for the Country considering dangers of the modern days.

I could swear Bush got into office the first time because of his opposition to gay rights.

You could swear to a lot of things but that doesn't make it true. Where did you come across that information and how many more candidates were on the same side of the gay rights issue as Bush?
I think you are confusing his stand against gay marriage with gay rights. No politician will take a stand for gay marriage.

Yeah, none will, because evangelicals and fundamentalist christians unfortunately do have too much power in the States.

Nor should they.

Good post Missileer.

Now that's just being single-minded.

No it's not. They should be allowed to have 'civil unions' equally as it is called. Gay "marriage" is just playing with fire, under the term "marriage."

Marriage is one man, one woman, in the eyes of God and church.

I doubt that marriage has anything to do with neither God nor Church (especially not church).
