if you are suggesting restorefreedom Sep 2015 #19

That's not what I'm suggesting Chitown Kev Sep 2015 #24

Bernie's vote against DOMA proves otherwise. That was in 1996. beam me up scottie Sep 2015 #29

I am known for "jumping right in the fray" Chitown Kev Sep 2015 #20

"Compliment." SMC22307 Sep 2015 #27

Is that something like playing "race cards"? Chitown Kev Sep 2015 #31

Overtaken by events? brooklynite Sep 2015 #8

Has he evolved? nt. SouthernProgressive Sep 2015 #17

Bernie didn't need to, he always supported civil rights for everyone. Unlike your candidate. beam me up scottie Sep 2015 #30

The evidence of this video says otherwise. Chitown Kev Sep 2015 #33

No, it doesn't. If he was against marriage equality he would have voted for DOMA. beam me up scottie Sep 2015 #35

Barack Obama has never been FOR DOMA Chitown Kev Sep 2015 #42

Who said anything about Obama? beam me up scottie Sep 2015 #43

If you really want to bring Obama into this I have four words: Donnie McClurkin/Rick Warren. beam me up scottie Sep 2015 #47

You can go for the 2009 DOMA brief, as well Chitown Kev Sep 2015 #49

My point is that you brought Obama into this like he was a champion for lgbt people. beam me up scottie Sep 2015 #50

For one, Obama has been a champion for LGBT people Chitown Kev Sep 2015 #51

"But I can fairly assess what Obama's overall record is." beam me up scottie Sep 2015 #52

Oh, by the way, my cousin, ChitownKev, is an openly gay man MrScorpio Sep 2015 #53

As do I, but I have every right to defend smears against my candidate. beam me up scottie Sep 2015 #54

What does that even mean? MrScorpio Sep 2015 #59

He didn't claim that Bernie didn't support marriage equality in 2006? beam me up scottie Sep 2015 #62

Sanders in the video said that he supported civil unions and that marriage was a state issue MrScorpio Sep 2015 #66

Exactly, he didn't want the feds to overturn states' same sex marriage laws. beam me up scottie Sep 2015 #68

Remember, one state already had same-sex marriage laws at that time Chitown Kev Sep 2015 #69

I'm from Vermont, I know the history. beam me up scottie Sep 2015 #72

I've researched that history Chitown Kev Sep 2015 #77

Yes, Dean's decision to not have a public ceremony was disappointing beam me up scottie Sep 2015 #79

Can't blame you for that... :) Chitown Kev Sep 2015 #86

It was one hell of a party! beam me up scottie Sep 2015 #89

We thought that we were going to have a similar party in Maine in 2009 Chitown Kev Sep 2015 #101

But as of this year voters can no longer deny you the right to marry the person you love. beam me up scottie Sep 2015 #104

Remember, the EEOC has, in effect Chitown Kev Sep 2015 #109

Oh Obama does get big kudos from me for that and his other stances against bigotry. beam me up scottie Sep 2015 #111

After Ohio was called, I asked my friend did she want to jump on Chitown Kev Sep 2015 #120

Bernie was concerned about the Federal government overturning the laws ALLOWING... virtualobserver Sep 2015 #112

When Sanders said that he supported civil unions as a state's rights issue... MrScorpio Sep 2015 #74

I'm not going to argue against a strawman. beam me up scottie Sep 2015 #76

I'm using his own words... MrScorpio Sep 2015 #84

Strawman: beam me up scottie Sep 2015 #87

What false claim are we making here? MrScorpio Sep 2015 #92

Because someone claimed he didn't support marriage equality in 2006. beam me up scottie Sep 2015 #95

Kev pointed out that in 2006, Sanders stood for civil unions as a states rights issue... MrScorpio Sep 2015 #98

But he then went on to make a positive claim. beam me up scottie Sep 2015 #102

He quite clearly said that he didn't want the feds to overturn state laws... MrScorpio Sep 2015 #107

sigh... beam me up scottie Sep 2015 #110

It's not a theory, it's his own words... In 2006. MrScorpio Sep 2015 #114

This fact here Chitown Kev Sep 2015 #82

Well, hell yeah... MrScorpio Sep 2015 #85

Bernie Sanders was asked, in the Vermont Senate debate of 2006 Chitown Kev Sep 2015 #56

Again there is no "evidence" that he didn't support marriage equality in 2006. beam me up scottie Sep 2015 #58

When the state of Minnesota turned down an anti-gay marriage amendment in 2012 Chitown Kev Sep 2015 #63

Where is your evidence that Bernie didn't support marriage equality in 2006? beam me up scottie Sep 2015 #64

Where's your evidence that he did? Chitown Kev Sep 2015 #65

Here: beam me up scottie Sep 2015 #67

But you can't say that he did. Chitown Kev Sep 2015 #73

Your claim that he didn't support marriage equality without any supporting evidence is a smear. beam me up scottie Sep 2015 #75

there were plenty of politicians who publicly opposed marriage equality and voted against DOMA dsc Sep 2015 #78

Still not proof Bernie didn't support marriage equality in 2006. beam me up scottie Sep 2015 #80

but his anti DOMA vote is no proof that he did dsc Sep 2015 #81

You guys made the claim that he didn't support marriage equality in 2006 and you can't back it up. beam me up scottie Sep 2015 #83

For the fucking love of God you should know better. I don't even criticize Hillary for being about Bluenorthwest Sep 2015 #100

I am not saying Bernie is anti gay dsc Sep 2015 #119

ba restorefreedom Sep 2015 #37

Seriously? He didn't want the feds to be able to override the states who made ssm legal. beam me up scottie Sep 2015 #28

I know all of that Chitown Kev Sep 2015 #36

He doesn't need to he voted against DOMA in 1996. He was for marriage equality then. beam me up scottie Sep 2015 #39

total crap and everyone knows it restorefreedom Sep 2015 #41

Gee Kev, in 2006 the only Presidential contender to support marriage equality was Dennis Kucinich Bluenorthwest Sep 2015 #94

Carol Moseley Braun (my former Senator and a hot mess) and Al Sharpton Chitown Kev Sep 2015 #106

Yes and I love them for it, but like Dennis none of them were candidates on my ballot my the time Bluenorthwest Sep 2015 #113

Here's my thing Chitown Kev Sep 2015 #118

I can research his record and make decisions for myself. AlbertCat Sep 2015 #122

nicely done restorefreedom Sep 2015 #38

Thank you, they're going to have to do better than I think = it's true. beam me up scottie Sep 2015 #40

Prism has been demonstrated to be very precient. Bluenorthwest Sep 2015 #91

Prism totally rocks. beam me up scottie Sep 2015 #93

I remember because the casual bullshit people say about LGBT is memorably painful. Bluenorthwest Sep 2015 #96

Yes, it is. beam me up scottie Sep 2015 #99

Your posts are empty and meaningless. Maedhros Sep 2015 #121

Kickety kicking this because once again someone is claiming Bernie opposed same sex marriage. beam me up scottie Oct 2015 #132

But I never claimed that he opposed it Chitown Kev Oct 2015 #136

No, you didn't. The blogger at Slate and MADem made that claim. beam me up scottie Oct 2015 #137

Bernie has a great record of support for LGBTQ people DemocraticWing Sep 2015 #123

It's nice to see that Chitown Kev Sep 2015 #124

I think Hillary, Bernie, or Martin would all be fine for LGBTQ people honestly. DemocraticWing Sep 2015 #125

Yep. Chitown Kev Sep 2015 #128

I don't think Sanders has ever opposed SSM jfern Sep 2015 #126

It's very possible that Sanders never opposed SSM Chitown Kev Sep 2015 #127

Well for comparison, Hillary was a SSM opponent in early 2013 jfern Sep 2015 #130

Well...to some extent Chitown Kev Sep 2015 #131
