Gingrich acts like the gayest candidate, but I would never vote for him because of his history of corruption.

Honestly, not very. Although the whole idea of human rights play a big part and anyone who promotes creating lesser, sub classes of citizens isn't going to get my vote. And anyone concentrating specifically on "evil homosexuals" isn't worth my time anyway since they obviously don't have any sense.

Deal breaker for me.

I won't vote for a bigot or for someone who has such a poor grasp of reality that they actually think homosexual is some unnatural choice.

Not that homosexuality is an issue, but how the candidates treat it is.

The last option should read "I couldn't care less".

Saying "I could care less" means there is an extent to which you could potentially still not care, thus you aren't yet at the maximum level of not caring.

Marriage is a Man Made tradition. Homosexuality is genetic and not decided on by a individual. Homosexuality is no different to Heterosexuality except Homosexuals desire people of the same sex and Heterosexuals Desire people of the opposite sex. Homosexuals should be given exactly the same rights as Heterosexuals and that includes Marriage.
The Candidates sounded very similar to Hitler but instead of Jews being made second class citizens.... homosexuals are being downgraded. Hitler also started gently then united the majority against the jews...... i never want to see anything like that here but by not allowing Homosexuals the exact same rights as Heterosexuals it starts a dangeous precedent that will erode more and more rights not only to Homosexuals but to anyone who the "God Squad" feels is a threat to their beliefs.
The Constitution says all men are born equal............ if you think homosexuals are not equal then you are against the constitution........... simple.
You do realize Pres Obama is oppossed to same sex marrieges don't you? What is this so many can't seem to understand? BTW, the constitution says nothing pro or con about homosexuality. Too many seem to think referring to what the constitution says is all they have to do, forgetting there is a lot the constitution does not say.

Because he made a point of telling us that although it is against his personal beliefs, he would not pass a federal amendment banning it. He believes in separation of church and state unlike thes GOP quacks that are hell bent on spending taxpayers money on removing civil rights and monitoring bedroom behavior. How quickly we forget!

Way down on my richter scale there are many issues facing this country that are more important.
