[quote name='RedvsBlue'][quote name='David85']My favorite is when Arnold was taking about how imigrents are welcomed and anything, and that all the Republicians there said that it's a party of diversity and everyone is welcomed, that of course as long as you aren't gay, because why would gays be welcomed in a free country.[/quote]
When have the republicans ever said that gays aren't welcomed? I, personally, am very much in favor of gay marriage, but I also plan on voting republican because the democrats don't have any plans to legalize it either. If Kerry did want to legalize it he'd be making it a major campaign issue, instead of his BS about considering civil unions. Now that having been said, just because most (not all) of the party does not support gay marriage does not mean that they hate gays or want them out of our country. I think you're just wanting them to have that attitude because it will justify your disliking of them.[/quote]
Kerry is for gay marriage, he is one of only 12 senators that didn't vote for the Defense of Marriage Act.
Kerry also isn't planning on taking more gay rights away like Bush has already done, and isn't planning on adding hate into the Constitution.
The reason why he has to say the cival unions is because most of the country doesn't want gay marriage and if he said he was for it he wouldn't win.
The Republicans wouldn't let the gay delegates into meetings in several States and the Republicains said that "the [Log Cabin Republicans aka gay republicans] don't repecent out belifs". The Republican party doesn't want gays to be here, but we are and aren't going anywhere so they just make up dumb laws like the Jim Crow Laws against gays.
