CHARLOTTE: Democrats Issue Final Platform With Full Marriage Support

The Democratic Party has released the official 2012 platform. Here's the final position on marriage equality:

Freedom to Marry. We support the right of all families to have equal respect, responsibilities, and protections under the law. We support marriage equality and support the movement to secure equal treatment under law for same-sex couples. We also support the freedom of churches and religious entities to decide how to administer marriage as a religious sacrament without government interference.

We oppose discriminatory federal and state constitutional amendments and other attempts to deny equal protection of the laws to committed same-sex couples who seek the same respect and responsibilities as other married couples. We support the full repeal of the so-called Defense of Marriage Act and the passage of the Respect for Marriage Act.

1. Beautifully bold. Just like when standing up for racial equality was the benchmark.

You did good. I am on board.

Hey all I got is me on the record!

5. If Dolan speaks against this, he MUST be booed off the stage

Prevented from speaking another word. Hooked off the stage in utter disgrace. Banned from further involvement, just as would be if made the same comments here.
