1. Aren't we supposed to line up behind John Kerry
and oppose gay marriage?

12. No, this has nothing to do with that.
Edited on Tue Feb-17-04 04:04 PM by Why
Unlike many people (if the shoe fits...), I don't have to agree 100% with anybody. I would cast my November vote for whoever our nominee is because his "I agree with" percentage vastly exceeds that of George W. Bush.

Under ordinary circumstances, I'd say if that ONE SINGLE ISSUE is what breaks the deal for you, by all means go Green or whatever, but these are not ordinary circumstances. For God's (or whoever's) sake, don't make the fatal error of making the perfect the enemy of the good, unless you're cool with four more TERM-LIMITED years of Resident Bushit.

edit: horrible grammar mistake.

11. I don't think it's the government's business
I don't believe the government should recognize any marriages, same-sex or otherwise. They should recognize all civil unions of consenting adults, including same-sex and multiple partner unions.

Since the same-sex controversy is of a religious nature, it should be up to churches to decide whether or not they choose to recognize "marriages".

Personally, I hope the fundies never recognize them; because that which doesn't evolve is doomed to extinction. ;-)

14. Yes, as long as a Church marries them
Otherwise, all marriages should be recognized as civil unions by the law.
