Biden & Palin: No Gay Marriage
Everybody knew their stances on gay marriage, but to hear Biden and Palin both give it the thumbs down was a little more than disheartening to some in our community.
Biden at least espouses equal protection under the law. In fact, Joe believes virtually as I do which is simply this:
It's a mistake for the gay community to not go after civil unions first. When you start talking marriage per se then you are begging the religious right to enter the fray and a fight involving religion is not one we will ever win.
However, a fight for equal rights including civil unions removes any and all biblical tenets and doesn't require a born again christian to alter his or her beliefs. It's a lawful demand, not a religious one. There is a huge difference. You can want the Pope to embrace gays until the pink cows come home, but it isn't going to happen.
Get the church out of our legal battles and we'll win equal rights. Cling stubbornly to the idea of marriage and we'll all lose out.
