115. He spoke against equal rights
on the basis of his high blown marriage values. Not just on Leno, either. Many times, on TV, radio, and in live speeches. While Liz claimed to take a differing view, it was her alone that allowed him to continue speaking about his deep Baptist values about marriage while she knew the truth. He said I should not have rights, my partner should have not Insurance, because he's a Baptist, yet he was sleeping around at the time, Liz knew it.
Sorry. Hypocrites telling lies to support their bigoted views is just not a good thing. The rest of his 'values' can only be trusted as far as those, which means not at all.
I supported him. I spoke with his office on 4 different occasions about what he was saying about marriage equality. They promoted the idea that he was religious, and very conservative about sex and marriage and all. That he was not 'really' a bigot, just a Baptist. I supported him until the truth came out, in spite of his stance against my family, his wide Ensign like stance.
Sorry kid, but this is my family they claimed was not up to their standards, when their standards involve not 'one man and one woman' as John actually said, but one man and whomever else John wanted. But gay couples, well, we have to defend against that. Defend. One man and one woman. At a time. One man, one woman, and the wife. But gay people, oh clutch my Deacon's son pearls and run for the alter! Smelling salts! I'm too holy to even think about such an offense to the sanctity of the Sacrament of Marriage! God! Jesus and my mistress agree, gays must not marry!
They should apologize for that pushing that shit against a community deep in a fight for equality.
