well with all the great news in california
i can only hope that this presidential election
the democrat obama will win
and then he will see to it that gay marriage finally becomes legal
admittedly i dont have a whole lotta faith that obama will make this happen
(you recall ive been a hillary fan)
but hes still a democrat
and with california going yay for gay
i gotta hope
the first president of color
would fight for equal rights
the lovely and eloquent charlotte
at outtake had quite a bit to say on this subject
see linky love list dears
i shall quote from outtake
"The question isn't really will, it's when....:) We all watched
the Dems on LOGO last summer debate gay marriage.......
Disappointed by their anti-gay marriage position we still
worked our hearts & sweat for them & voted for the Dems in
our primaries. Now with gay marriage about to become the law
in California next week this issue is about to heat up big time...
Obama has always said he doesn't support gay marriage but
supports civil unions with all the benefits of marriage. In the
past months we have learned that civil unions globally have
created a new group of second class citizens providing only 1/3
the benefits of marriage. In recent months gay marriage &
LGBT rights have been avoided by the candidates in the media.
Obama has mentioned it a few times in primary acceptance
speeches.....And Hillary finally made a reference to the gay
community's quest for civil rights in her bye bye address....
As Hillary gets ready to campaign for Obama it should be
interesting to see if the Dems address our issues or just
continue to only fully support our community behind closed
doors....."
