Anti-gay rhetoric at GOP Iowa Debate
Mitt Romney, Jon Huntsman, Ron Paul, Rick Santorum and Michele Bachmann all had things to say about same-sex marriage and civil unions at last night's GOP debate.
MITT ROMNEY: Marriage is a status. It’s not an activity that goes on within the walls of a state and as a result, our marriage status relationship should be constant across the country. I believe we should have a federal amendment to the Constitution that defines marriage as a relationship between a man and a woman.
JON HUNTSMAN: I also believe in civil unions, because I believe this nation can do a better job when it comes to equality and I believe we can do a better job when it comes to reciprocal beneficiary rights rights.
RON PAUL: I think marriages should be between a single man and a single woman and that the federal government shouldn’t be involved.
RICK SANTORUM: It sounds to me like Rep. Paul would say that polygamous marriages are okay.
MICHELE BACHMANN: I support the federal marriage amendment…and as president I would not nominate activist judges who would legislate from the bench.

These "people" are very scary. What is even more scary is that they have so many people following them. How can so many people in American be so uneducated about what the Bible, the book they live by, actually says and means.
ReplyDeleteLiam,
ReplyDeleteI get a sense that you are probably clear and honest about yourself and how you see the world. And with that clarity it's probably a gift to not understand people like these GOP politicians. Cherish those instincts. You're a lucky man to be able to stand outside it and be scratching your head.
:)
Peace.
And thanks for reading. Much appreciated.
