Now I can completely understand why they don't like Romney....it's just wierd to see the excitement. It's like telling a kid that for Christmas they can either have a box with poop in it, or an empty box....and they just can't wait to open that empty box because at least it doesn't have poop in it!
Considering the source of the box contents, it's obvious gays are anxious to open the box for the treat inside... and it ain't gay marriage but smells like the truth.

What about repealing DADT, and publicly stating his disapproval of a few states' anti-gay-marriage bill proposals? I'd say that counts as something, and it sure got my attention!

No it doesn't, considering our overall gay population isn't much higher (if at all) than the rest of the US... or do you think San Francisco and West Hollywood, two fairly small populations in the big picture, represent the entire state? Not to mention, support for gay marriage has soared since Prop8 passed. FYI, many people polled have stated they regret voting for the Proposition, and would vote against it today. Hmmmm.

It doesn't automatically mean anything, but he does have a valid point. I'm the sister, cousin, niece, and close friend of gay people - and the issue DOES matter to me as a result. It's not the only issue that matters, but it certainly plays a role in my decisions at the voting booth. Wish the Dems were doing more for gay rights, but they're certainly better than the Republicans, and there aren't any viable Libertarian candidates for me to support right now.

Sorry, but you cannot vote to take away rights guaranteed by the constitution.

History shows us very plainly what happens when people adopt this perverse attitude that is AGAINST THE LAWS OF NATURE!

Rome embraced homosexuality - find out what REALLY happened to the 12 Caesars that had ultimate power over Rome & the world.

Study & find out what happened to Sodom & Gomorrah

Study & find out what REALLY happened in Greece

You don't care!

Ever since don't ask don't tell was repealed by skewing the figures to the opposite of what they truly were. 75% OPPOSED - this law.

So the Obama administration lied about the truth (as usual)

Now military rapes against men have been soaring!

The gay vote = 2% of the population.

Yes we need Obama for 4 more years - he hasn't done enough yet to destroy America.

Eternal Life or Eternal Death - It is your choice! Why you choose death over life is beyond my ability to comprehend.

You can deny the existence of God all you want (now) But soon you will be standing face to face. NOTHING you can say or do will ever change God's eternal LAWS.
BREAKING NEWS:

Military rapes against men have been soaring since the repeal of DADT. Our source tells us that they specifically targeting special operation forces such as Navy Seals, Marine Force Recon, Delta Force and special units of the CIA.
More details are forthcoming as soon as we hear from our reporter that is embedded in the Church of the Walrus Blubber Worshipers stationed in one of our far reaching states.

My Uncle was a General. Do I have to vote for the GOP every single election?
It doesn't, but it does give a reason to vote to someone that might not have voted otherwise. Funny how people tend to support the issues of their friends and family when asked. Single issue voters are difficult to sway.

Then they need to be removed from the 'endangered species' list (hate-crime list).

I am not buying it. Only someone with a death wish would try to rape a Navy Seal. You just made that up didn't you?

OMG - I was so proud of Biden for speaking out the way he did......and so eloquently and with such compassion.

“Who do you love? Who do you love and will you be loyal to the person you love?” Biden said, “And that’s what people are finding out what all marriages at their root are about.”

Who can argue with that?
