Poll question: True/False: All of the remaining contenders support equal rights for gays.

[mmm]

1. Only Kucinich comes right out and says it

[BeFree]

2. True

But politically speaking, it ain't safe to come out of the closet. Just as at one time it wasn't safe to oppose the crown, or slavery, or women's suffarage, or prohibition. Just as it's not now safe to ask the truth about 9/11.

But that's politics for ya.....

3. It's like with Barry Goldwater

"In your heart, you know he's right"

Is patently false.




And it is not like with Barry goldwater.

"In your head, you know he's right"

Is patently true, with reservations.

4. False!

Congressman Kucinich and Revered Sharpton believe in “equal rights” for gays and lesbians. The others believe in apartheid – separate but equal. As the Supreme Court said in “Brown v Wade” separate is NEVER equal. It astounds me that so many Democrats don’t understand that!

6. Nonsense.

[Mattforclark]

7. Quatsch!

10. "Brown v. Wade"?

[IndianaGreen]

11. The poster meant to say "Brown v. Board of Education"

and got it confused with the Roe decision.

The poster does make an excellent point that the Brown decision found that "separate but equal" was unconstitutional.

5. The disappointing thing about....

Kerry is he knows the correct position. When Kerry voted against the Defense of Marriage Act in 1996, he called the legislation hateful and compared it to interracial marriage. Kerry knows supporting a state amendment to ban gay marriage is bigoted, and yet he still comes out an endorses his state banning gay marriage.

9. How is it dead??

Even if a US Constitutional Amendment is not realistic, several states around the country are proposing to modify their own Constitution to ban gay marriage and with the blessing of the two leading candidates.
