He...Kerry did not suck when it came to gay rights. He was not perfect, but he did not suck.<br /><br />Bush sucked when it came to gay rights.<br /><br />Kerry was about as far to the left on gay issues that you can possibly be and still be viable at the national level. Do I wish that he was better and supported gay marriage. Sure.<br /><br />But at least he favored civil unions. And at least he opposed the state amendments, like Missouri, once he learned that they banned civil unions too.<br /><br />The way to judge the candidates on gay issues, is to look at those people who vote solely based on gay issues. And I mean from the other side. Find those people who despise gay people, and whose overriding concern is that we do not cave into the homosexual agenda. To those people, this election was very important. They felt that Bush was on their side and Kerry was adamantly opposed to it.<br /><br />And from their perspective - they were right.<br /><br />If they anti-gay people liked Bush, because he was anti-gay, it seems very obvious to say that Kerry was more pro-gay than Bush.<br /><br />End of story.<br /><br />Vote for Bush if you want. I won't knock you there. But don't say it was because there was zero difference on gay rights.downtownladhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08663069432164302806noreply@blogger.com
