Who cares if she is Gay? Why are Americans so swayed, and interested at that, by the sexual antics of their politicians. Does having an affair or being gay affect your ability to govern? Surely it is of little consequence. European politicians are considered abnormal if they don't indulge! Are you bothered if your senetor/MP is openly gay/having an affair?

Hillary would make a fine president she is a intelligent, Strong lady, that has the experience and would have one of the best advisers in the world. Her husband was the last president to run the business of the country right. I would vote for her regardless of her sexual orientation.

On this subject , it personally don't bother me, however it has been proven if you force some one to hide their sexuality it comes out in a negative way. People can not change who they are, we as a nation should not force them to hide, but encourage them to come out and be free to express themselves.\n\n  I believe gay marriage would do just this, but like I said i'm not gay and it will not affect me in any way. Really I'm not gay, but I do apove of gay marrige. The Cristian community has been for a while now the main opposition to this, so in light of recent events I think this will change within the next 2 - 4 years. Also did I mention I'm not gay ? just checking . I just hope our socitey will be ready for it when it does come into effect. So I hope I helped add some positive light to this subject even though I'm not gay.

Gay marriage is a very stupid campaign issue.  There are about 1000 issues that are more important.  But I think the reason Laura Bush said that is because Republicans should realize that anyone campaigning against gay marriage will be on the wrong side of history in the long run.

Because in the U.S. sex is limited in the media and other places unlike other countrys. Americans aren't prudes by all means, however the country itself is considered to be more prudish than most. I guess people think that if there's less sex in the atmosephere, less people will be offended by stuff when really it isn't true. And as for the girls, your probably really hot! Why complain?...Lol!

I don't think that's the reason.\nBecause most gays are Democrats.\nAnd most Democrat Politicians are NAMBLA people.

The Ban Gay Marriage law is wrong.  Bush said it himself, people should be able to choose how they live.  That should include the gays too.  I didn't think the Senate had the power to veto a law, I thought only the president did.  I never learned much as far as all that goes, but I still believe that gays should be treated equally.

"The Gay Agenda" ? Have not read it nor have I ever seen it...interesting though. However, I am Gay and have been with my Partner, registered as we live in California,  for 10 years. Our agenda is to raise our 9 year old son, who is, by the way,  an honor student for all of you right wing crackpots out there,  and be a happy family. We work, do laundry, homework, take vacations, cleanhouse, spend time with Grandmas, Grandpas, cousins, Aunts and Uncles...not really exciting as far as an "agenda" goes. I'd say it's pretty much the same agenda a heterosexual family would have...I was raised in one you know.

The politicians are pandering. They know that a lot of people are homophobic and they play on that to get votes.\n\nWhat do I care if a man pledges his love to another man or a woman pledges her love to another woman? It affects me not one tiny bit. God doesn't care either. The Bible says not to do it because back then, the goal was to repopulate. the Bible also says your wife is on a par with your livestock.

Interesting article indeed. I do agree with you in the sense that it is not a choice- it is only explainable by they way a person FEELS or thinks, not by the way he WANTS to think. I hate people who hate people with different sexual orientations- they dont have a right to judge people by their feelings and preferences, although i dont have a gay/lesbian friend in person.

I think the ones that bark about it the most are the ones that are the most curious.  Heck, the republican party is seeing so much grief about it with their people.  If they don't like gays and lesbians so much, heck why do they have a VP with a lesbian daughter?  Well damn, that will make u scratch ur head.

i think that perhaps it is because gay rights are so much in the news. when i was growing up, it wasn't discussed except behind closed doors (hence, coming out of the closet?). society is, in my opinion, in the midst of a revolution in this area and so it is a "hot" topic. your sexual orientation is really none of anyone's business, and should not be the brunt of jokes, however, i think it is an unfortunate byproduct of gaining your rights. being a parent of a gay child, i understand your irritation and, perhaps a tad of the pain. being a parent of a gay child, i can only say that society has come a long way in the last several decades in this area. sadly, there are still miles to go. for me, it is one of the burdens i feel my daughter will have to bear. i feel a sense of gratitude that she is content with herself, but know that she has made a difficult decision as far as society is concerned. standing up for yourself and your rights does not guarantee an easy road in any situation. choices come with a price, and for the gay community, as with most minorities, people judge on the basis of sexual orientation, not the whole person.

Why is that such a small percentage of the population can cause so much grief. Most of the people in this country still see homosexuality for what it is morally wrong. If they must be together I am not even going to attempt to stop them. Neither will I ever embrace their cause,and this is what really irks me that the homosexual community and their supporters insist that I do so or then I must be a homophobe. The lifestyle in my view is no different than an addiction to drugs or alcohol or any other aberrant behavior. "I often hear live and let live" FINE don't try to force me into accepting what I cannot and will not.

Marriage, straight or gay, should not have anything to do with any government.  Period.  It is a decision to be made (or not made) between the individuals involved.\n\nNice avatar, btw.

I have no earthly idea why people keep insisting on defining marriage!  Why is this such a big deal?  There are so many things that are truly imporant that we can put our energy into solving rather than someones desire to marry someone of the same sex.  You certainly wont stop them from having a relationship.  What are you doing that the government will decide to ban next?  Frankly, whatever goes on in my underpants is none of the governments business.  All of those who are in support of BIG GOVERNMENT telling you how to conduct your private lives had better watch out, you may get more than what you bargained for.  Obviously, since this question keeps coming up over and over, there are more people out there that have little else to do but worry about this nonsense.  If this has to do with Christianity, divorce, partner swapping, adultery, sexual abuse, spousal abuse, etc. have already made a mockery of marriage so who cares if homosexuals want a part of it.  I think there is something in that big Bible that you all are thumping that says that we have all have free will....Please stop trying to legislate morality and personal decision that have absolutly nothing to do with you.  If you dont want to marry someone of the same sex, DONT.  And no, I am not gay, I am just not so hypocritical that I feel I need to impose my lifestyle on others.

gay people count for less than 5% of our population. there are many more important matters that the congress can spend time and debate about than gay people's life style.. do you know that almost 25% of American people are considered obese?\nyou might say you don't care, but do you know that sooner of later, they will get sick and it will cost the taxpayers billions of dollars for their health problems? wouldn't it be better if congress spends time caring for the obese and fighting Mcdonalds and other food manufacturers to produce cleaner food with less hormons and less addictive substances in it? that way only the very few genetically obese people will be obese, the rest will be just normal healthy people.

I've never felt that sexual orientation was the be all and end all question on how to vote. There are so many other issues that  affect the whole country and planet. Yes I believe in the right of same sex couples to marry but that's certianly not the only reason to vote for a candidate.

I'm not sure if it is gay people that you do not like or democrats???? Gay people are just people like you or me. Democrats currently have some pretty good ideas. I voted for quite a few this election. Not because of their party affiliation but based on each individuals agenda. Conservatives are generally against gay marriage, rights etc. That does not always mean that they are republicans. Peace.
