Not supporting same sex marriage = homophobic. Um, Mr. President-Elect...

[qwlauren35]

I'm starting to think that Obama would not pass the gay-friendly litmus test if asked the right questions.

Is this a surprise?

Did he give any indications that he was gay-friendly, or would champion GLBT causes? (Other than getting rid of Don't Ask, Don't Tell - which he has already said would not happen immediately!)?

1. No indications as far as I can tell

I voted for him because the alternative was scarier.

2. None of the major candidates supported gay marriage.

I'm not sure why people thought Obama held a different view.

3. Just an FYI, but Obama, if he were a DU member, would have been tombstoned for his stance...

its in the rules.

6. It's in the rules, but he wouldn't have gotten TS'd

[Solon]

8. Well, probably not, but if the Admins and Mods enforced the rules equitably...

he would be tombstoned. But then again, gay discrimination has a different standard here than any other type of discrimination.

[MadBadger]

7. I guess our VP and Sec of State are getting tombstoned too

OUch

[Solon]

9. Yes, and you know what, that's the way it SHOULD be...

No coddling around with this shit, you HAVE to support Same-Sex Marriage on this board, period. Skinner actually had to lay down the law in the past, and I hope he does it again. I'm keeping an eye out.

[MadBadger]

10. You're like Billo, DU's little watchdog, keeping an eye out on the rest of us!

[Solon]

12. I guess I am, and I'm proud of that label, why not, the mods aren't going to do shit...

apparently.

[MadBadger]

13. Have you developed your own Tombstone machine yet?

[Solon]

16. I'm building it, by the way, the OP doesn't support Gay Marriage...

In her own words:

"But I will NOT stick my neck out for same-sex marriage."

[qwlauren35]

15. Uh-oh. Where does it say that?

I support civil unions. I would not vote against same-sex marriage, but I understand those who do. Another nail in my coffin.

[IndianaJones]

4. gay marriage is wrong on religious grounds. nt.

[Sebastian Doyle]

11. So is usury

But that didn't stop the Wall Street bailout.

[IndianaGreen]

5. Warren is also a misogynist

Women that he employs are all under male leadership because that's "biblical." :puke:

[qwlauren35]

17. Why is that MISOGYNY?????

I don't see how one can equate sexism and misogyny. They aren't the same.

Misogyny is hatred of women. Sexism is not hatred.

14. Will Obama serve pork or shellfish at his inaugural dinner?
