He wonders aloud if history will show him to be on the wrong side of this issue (full, equal marriage)....which I think, of course, it will.Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05974435902564570126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14801850.post-9414942413130751132007-06-19T11:07:00.000-05:002007-06-19T11:07:00.000-05:00Ideally, we'd have a candidate like that, Jen, but...Ideally, we'd have a candidate like that, Jen, but we don't. I don't think it's all empty talk, though, when someone talks about providing gay and lesbian people with all the rights and privileges we associate with "marriage", no matter what they call it. I know there is no "equal but separate", but it's a huge step in the right direction. A huge change that may necessitate some compromise to have an electable candidate. I'm actually really optimistic about the candidates we have for the Democrats. They are saying the things I want to hear about health care, education, gay rights, withdrawal from Iraq, the environment.....Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05974435902564570126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14801850.post-62768379481342585082007-06-19T10:16:00.000-05:002007-06-19T10:16:00.000-05:00Hear, hear.My sister and I always talk about how b...Hear, hear.<BR/><BR/>My sister and I always talk about how backwards my nieces are going to think we were, when they're older and we have to tell them that it used to be against the law for gays to marry.freakgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00774905190953855685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14801850.post-87895588969459353172007-06-19T08:07:00.000-05:002007-06-19T08:07:00.000-05:00I'm beyond pissed off that none of the Democratic ...I'm beyond pissed off that none of the Democratic front runners will just say YES to full equality, with no equivocation. I despise the empty talk of the political arena.<BR/><BR/>That said, I'm beyond pleased with the progress the country as a whole is making on equality. Ten to fifteen years ago, the marriage debate was almost unthinkable, and the standard Democratic voter's position on gay rights was "Ew." Hopefully in another 10-15 years, we'll actually have our legal equality in full nationwide.Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00793793027935224823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14801850.post-38275855967435058782007-06-18T15:51:00.000-05:002007-06-18T15:51:00.000-05:00YOU slayed me with that last paragraph, dude.
