It's a black and white issue and the voters deserve to know where every candidate, Democrat and Republican, stand? There is no room to soft-pedal the issue.
Thanks Bernie! You are helping our Party already!

(45,319 posts)the Party' to 'not controversial' without actually becoming the law of the land. I love how straight folks declare it is not controversial even while other straight folks are putting up billboards to attack equality, calling for civil war over it, preaching sermons and running campaigns against it. I guess if it is not you being constantly denigrated in public it must sound different. To me, it sounds fucking controversial as hell.
What you are saying is not something Bernie would ever say. He helped marriage equality get rolling in the first place, he knows what we are dealing with and he knows that straight Democrats spent fucking years lecturing us that even asking for it would destroy the Party. Hell, some DUers still make that claim every election.
So whatever. You sneer at rights people spent their lifetimes prying out of the greedy hands of your majority community, and that's your choice as a free person.
