Thumbs down You guys are never happy!

What is funny is many of the OP is bashing Rubio for at least being open minded on the Gay Marriage. However He does not have to put the rubber stamp of approval on it too. Sins are between the Sinner and God.
We will have see how that works out for Fallen Life Styles!

Social issues weigh too much in the elections.

Pretty sure your Party said it only believed in traditional marriage.


And he is saying being gay is a choice, so he gets no cool points.

Right wingers are good at taking one persons comments or actions and assigning it to a whole group. Granted, this time it's positive, which may be a first. Usually it's to paint a group poorly.
Or you could consider that some of us simply feel people should be able to live in accordance with their religious beliefs, even if those beliefs are different than our own.

I think it's wrong to deny services for a same sex wedding that you provide to others. Yet, I still think they should have the right to be wrong.

I don't know why it's so hard to be accepting of same sex marriage and the devout religious beliefs of others.

I don't think RINO means what you think it means.

For the left, it's not. Like you said, it may be wrong, but people have the right to be wrong. What is not OK is to discriminate based on that belief. Should doctors be allowed to reject gay people at hospitals? What if someone contracted HIV due to their lifestyle? Should a doctor be allowed to turn them away? I think not.

The doctor can SAY all he wants about them, but they have just as much a right to live as the strait person that contracted HIV from a heterosexual encounter with a hooker (or IV Drugs, or at birth from their mother).

I can't tell from your post where you stand on this (somewhat ambiguous), but it has been through the Supreme Court and there is ABSOLUTELY NO ROOM FOR AN INTERPRETATION FOR THE LAW THAT ALLOWS PEOPLE TO DISCRIMINATE ON RELIGIOUS GROUNDS. This is Rosa Parks, or the Greensboro Woolworth's all over again.

Oh that's right, Democrats want people to believe all kind of things we didn't know we believed.
The owner of Memories Pizza for one. In the aftermath of the statements he and his daughter made, he further clarified that while he had no problem with gay people, he wouldn't attend the wedding of one of his OWN CHILDREN if they were marrying a same-sex partner.

Plenty of people would not attend a gay wedding. Plenty of people seem to have no problem ostracizing gay loved ones - including children - with no wedding involved.
