"Discriminate" how?

Let's just make it ammendment that LGBT have rights and no one can surpress them. Additionally, no laws federally or state level should hinder against these individuals rights.

Religious beliefs should not be phased into laws or political ideals: Abortion or Homosexuality.

The white, straight, working class, religious, Republican supporters trusted the actual owners of the Republican Party to take care of them. The elites took care of their own wealth. The Republican workers were and still are trusting fools.

What about the oral and anal acts that straight people do with people of the opposite gender????

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but if a lot of the christian right is worried about these acts, they need to get into policing *everyone's* bedroom behavior. Because, given statistics, on any given day, there are FAR MORE straight people practicing and enjoying these acts than there are gay people - married or not.

You do have a point........why is she looking more angry by the day? Now that she has toned down her voice, she just looks more angry. Like the grandmother who follows behind you constantly correcting the good work you have been doing. Dems should change their slogan to the; Party Of Angry People!

This is hysterical.

The Republican Platform has not been completed! It's not available yet, and the media is going wild!
"Anti Gay"!..............."Horror Show".......

The mere mention of anything gay by The Republican Party sends the media - and most on this board - into convulsions.

The Democratic Platform, on the other hand, will generate no news other than to report on how wonderful it is.
