McCain Officially Endorses California Marriage Ban  

McCain said: “I support the efforts of the people of California to recognize marriage as a unique institution between a man and a woman, just as we did in my home state of Arizona. I do not believe judges should be making these decisions.” The people of San Francisco, CA and the people of Washington, DC also stated they didn't want handguns allowed in their city, and judges made the decision to ban those laws, and McCain and other conservatives felt it was OK for judges to make THOSE decisions. Why doesn't anyone rub that in his face and make him answer what the difference is? Why is judging one law unconstitional fine and judging another law unconstitutional overstepping their bounds? What has happened to journalism and journalists? Why do they NEVER ask the important questions and KEEP asking them until they're answered???

If a group of your neighbors got together and "voted" for you to leave the neighborhood, "It was 55-23, but a fair and honest vote, please leave in 30 days," would you do it? Prop 22 was an abuse of the democratic process; there are some things that should never be put to a vote, particularly when they involve denying an entire group of people or segment of society access to a civil procedure which is guaranteed to everyone else. The initiative on the ballot in November goes further- it would seek to change the Constitution permanently and deny gay men and lesbians access to a government issued marriage license, which is routinely granted to prisoners on death row, inmates in state institutions, and Saturday night drunks on a Las Vegas holiday, as long as they're heterosexual.

McCain's a major sicko, posing as a "folksy nice guy" just like George Bush did eight years ago. He wants to bomb and invade Iran (just what we need to shore up the U.S.'s reputation in the world, another war); keep U.S. troops in Iraq far beyond his lifetime; and now, to garner the support of the most reactionary forces in the country, he's jumping on the anti-gay bandwagon. No offense to the log cabin republicans, who seem misguided at best, but any gay man or woman who would support McCain in his bid to become the President of this country, is off his or her nut.

Odd the article doesn't mention McCain's support for his state's constitutional amendment in the last election, the only anti-gay amendment that has actually failed at the ballot box. It was SO draconian -- banning marriage, civil unions, municipal registries, ANY form of recognition -- that even the conservative citizens of Arizona thought it went too far. But he didn't.

There's not much to say that hasn't been previously stated. It's no surprise that John McBush, in a desperate attempt to capture the Presidency, has revealed just how much of a bigot we have long known him to be. The Logheads will probably not endorse his candidacy this year, repeating their lack of an endorsement four years ago. When are these buffoons going to wake up and smell the coffee? If they were sincerely interested in advancing our agenda, they would get behind Obama as a protest not only to McBush, but to the intolerant party they regretably represent.

HELLO.... If this doesn't awaken the Log Cabin Republicans to the fact they are an anachronism, I don't know what will. The Republicans are NOT our friends and never have been. It is equally unrealistic for the Log Cabin folks to assume they can change the party from within. They need to disband completely and transfer their allegiance and fund raising to the Democrats. While not perfect themselves, the Democrats are the ONLY political party showing any support for LGBT issues. John McCain is simply a remake of George Bush and, if elected, will never support LGBT issues; but rather, will make Supreme Court appointments of people who will tip the courts balance to the right, for decades to come. If McCain is elected, I'm moving to Canada.

DID HE just cut his chance of winning when many of hilr supporters were ready to back him now hilrary should defn run as indep. with john putting out this notice, and bar....stating the same time to get a solid indepn to save america

(continued) AND, since he entered the Senate, where has Obama been with regards to introducing any pro-gay (or pro-same-sex) legislation? Obama's ONE AND ONLY concern is getting elected and he doesn't care who gets tossed aside in the process. He'll support the LGBT community just until their usefulness is done. (And, given the man's recent statement to strengthen the faith-based initiatives, I suspect the LGBT community's usefulness for Obama is about done.)

If there is a "Gay Gene" can we figure out a way to make sure the Log Cabin types get stripped of theirs? These people are a disgrace to the LGBT peoples. Can we somehow distance ourselves from these people in self denial? The Log Cabin people are so out of touch with reality that it should be possible to institutionalize them in a preferably Catholic monastery on top of a mountain in some far off country. On the other hand they do make themselves look like jerks and it reminds the rest of the LGBT family on how *NOT* live your life. Seriously they need to get a grip on reality.

I cannot believe that anyone would be suprised at this action by McCain. What is it going to take for this country let alone the LGBT community to wake up ? Time to wake up people & take action .
