My point was that it’s completely trivial and pointless for people to be opposed to gay rights.

My thoughts are if a politician is too ignorant to not support something as simple as gay rights then any other policies they have lose credibility also.
I think that too many politicians feel that they should voice there stance on whatever subject is being discussed rather than saying something like ‘as an elected official, that is outside of my authority’.

Tell me why Bam should not reinforce his reasoning behind his gay marriage stand by emphasizing that he also supports a man being able to marry two women at the same time.
Or for that matter a man being able to marry two men.
Or three.
Or one hundred fifty nine.
After all according to the “evolved” one, “The thing at root that we think about is, not only Christ sacrificing himself on our behalf, but it’s also the golden rule? you know, treat others the way you would want to be treated,’ he said. 'And I think that’s what we try to impart to our kids, and that’s what motivates me as president.”
So if he wants to invoke the Golden Rule to support gay marriage shouldn’t he also invoke it to support my hypothetical desire to marry two women?
Or three?
Or one hundred fifty nine?[/quote]
WHOA WHOA PUSH lets not stop there, i mean what if a man wanted to marry a horse?!?! Or even 2 or 3 horses?

Read my above post, im saying it’s stupid for ppl to be opposed to gay rights.
Things people should get worked over include immigration, energy policies, economic policies, and our wars; not whether gays can visit each other in hospitals and file joint tax returns.
I was under the impression that enjoying significant tax, employment, government, medical, estate and death benefits without providing the reciprocal compensation of a socially favored nuclear family unit, social stability, and the children to further stabilize the above mentioned society and fund it via their own taxation, was indeed something that affected me and the rest of society.
I should probably just shut my bigoted hole, though.
