Lesbian Couple Wants to be Together

I watched the VP debate last night & althought I was pleased that both Palin & Biden weren't totally against giving gays some rights (few I might add) both convinced me that neither will defend gay marriage nor allow for us to sponsor our foreign lover to become a USA citizen.

I just got my check so I'm packing to go visit my honey before it gets snowy and freezing cold up there :-)

You know, when that topic came up in the debate, I actually thought of you, Ick, and got a little sad. I am glad to hear the American politicians don't oppose gay rights totally, though. It's definitely a stepping stone to allowing marital rights. If I remember correctly, that was the chain of events in Canada.

Hope your drive to Canada was safe and uneventful. (Except for the good bits, of course.)

It is going to be like interracial marriage---sometime in the next few years, the courts are going to decide the fundamental right to marry the partner of one's choosing is a right we ALL enjoy, and 20 years later it will seem absolutely astonishing that gay marriage was ever banned.

I was a little surprised Palin said she thought at least gay couples should not be prevented from visiting each other in the hospital. I was NOT surprised at Biden's response, though I was a bit appalled at how emphatically he said he opposed gay marriage.

I wasn't surprised by their responses given how religion plays a huge part in American partisan politics. It would be more likely for same-sex marital rights to be voted in once the party is in power rather than to debate it or have it as a platform during an election. I'm sure the Americans will catch up one day. lol
