What does "gay marriage" have to do with a beauty contest? Why should it even be relevent? Judge her on the T&A and the talent. That is what a beauty contest is.

The conservative along time ago didn't approve of desegregation between blacks and whites. Now they're doing the same thing with gays and straight. Only time will let them adapt. They have adapted to blacks, eventually, they'll adapt to the gays.

That's a false analogy and also insulting to most Blacks, who tend to be against gay marriage.

FYI - it was Dimocraps who voted time and time again against civil rights laws. Know the history before you comment.

When asked the same question guess who said this:

“I’m a Christian. And so, although I try not to have my religious beliefs dominate or determine my political views on this issue, I do believe that tradition, and my religious beliefs say that marriage is something sanctified between a man and a woman.”

And guess who said this:

“If gay people want to get married, or get together, they should have a civil partnership… The word ‘marriage,’ I think, puts a lot of people off. You get the same equal rights that we do when we have a civil partnership. Heterosexual people get married. We can have civil partnerships.”

The first one is President Obama, the second one is Elton John.

Yea, Barry's a bigot, just like me.

I doubt seriously that you know much at all about Black people.

the lesson learned here - it's best to remain silent about gay marriage or suffer the outrage.

Of what?

being castigated in the national news, for one.

Just because hate and bigotry gets dressed as a political ideology ("conservatism") and gets used as a recruiting tool by a mainstream political party (the GOP) doesn't make it any more worthy of respect. It's still hate and it's still bigoted.

yup...

most arguments against gay marriage are usually irrational, or non-proved.. a gay touches a kid, the kid will become 'indoctrinated'

I agree, totally.

My mom was around 12 when they first started integrating schools in KC. She can recall white flight, the fight against bussing. What's funny is that the homophobes HATE it when you compare them to the racists of fifty years ago. Like they're any different. But whatever.

If people who are against gay marriage immediately classified as anti-gay homophobes, does it follow that those who are for it tend toward being gay themselves? Should we be calling them poop packers, to be polite?

Such simplistic thinking - that only homophobes are against gay marriage - deserves a similar retort.

If I were in her shoes, I rather lose....my principals are more important. Miss California was on a radio show here today and said she in no way regrets what she said. She stands by her convictions.

I doubt you don't know much about equality.

I know more about it than you do. Far more, I'm sure. I also know plenty about inequality.
