In reply to the discussion: Has Sanders really always supported marriage equality [View all]dsc
(52,162 posts)I have no problem with Sanders, who isn't peddling the crapola that he has been in favor of marriage equality since 1972, as some of his supporters are. I also don't really care from the stand point of Sanders himself if he supported marriage equality in 96 or 2000. But what I do care about is his supporters making crap up. If he supported marriage equality back in 96 that would be fine and I wouldn't post again on the subject. But I have tried, using several different sources, to find any evidence at all that he did so, and have come up totally empty. I asked on more than one occasion for such evidence and got nothing. At this point, I think he was likely very quiet on the matter and voted right. That is still marginally better than Clinton was during her time in the Senate, as she voted right but said unfortunate things. But it isn't the tales we have been told by any means.
