Alright, that subject line is hyperbolic. They unanimously reasserted their opposition to gay marriage:

Why is that rejecting the 21st century? |
As I said, it was an exaggeration. But in the past 25 years, approval has gone from under 30% of the population to over 50%. Don't you think it's fair to at least say that the RNC is out of step with the times to have 0% approval? |
I favor gay marriage. I dislike the GOP and think it's backwards. But even I don't think your hyperbole worked. Sorry. |
Not the first time my attempts at humor have fallen flat. C'est la vie. |
Nope. |
Hey, admitting failure makes you one of the good ones. It's an honest commentator who can cop to being wrong once in a while. This town (and this site) needs more of that. So I applaud you. |
Aw, I thought it was funny.
I can't believe people against gay marriage can't see how regressive and evil they are going to look in 50 years. Seriously, this is our generation's civil rights movement. Shame on them. |
So not legislating gay marriage on a Federal level is evil? |
No, the Constitution does not give Congress that power. But the Court has the power to declare it a protected right. |
Personally, I would say that federal discrimination is "evil," though I would use another word besides religiously influenced terminology. |
If they don't, is it evil? |
Not evil, just bound in the past. |
Who says embracing homosexuality is the future? |
I just did so. Even if you were not on DCUM, I think you would not be wrong to say Takoma believes it to be so. And polls show that the increasing group of Americans who think so are now a majority. Nobody is saying that the Holy Sacrament of Marriage should change; that's up to the churches. Just that plain old marriage, as recognized by the national and state governments, ought to be a right of every loving adult couple. |
