S.C. Luv Gov. Is Antigay

Eric Schenk - would hell be living with Larry? Thanks but no thanks - you can keep him and the empty lot next door. I'm on this site because I am gay - if I wasn't, I would still be entitled to be here. Unlike you freaks, I am not a Democrap. I know, yall hate to see any opposing view but get over it. Yall hate to be told that the Democrats dont really support gay rights any more than the Republicans do because then nobody loves ya... Homophobia? Homophobia isn't 'rampant' in SC... sorry, it just happens to be that in SC, they are OPEN about it. In California, they PRETEND to like gay people - until its time to vote at the polls. How did that gay marriage vote work out for ya in that 'liberal' state? Not so well, huh?

I find it interesting that "Eric M" makes the argument that the elected officials should represent the electorate and that most Americans oppose gay marriage. Yet, he, in the next breath, says that Obama "needed" the gays to get elected...Is it me? or is that a direct contradiction? I fear Obama and the other democrats who worked so hard to court the gay Americans like myself are going to feel the backlash of the lack of moving the effort forward come the next election. It is a shame too. Just as my faith in the system was being coaxed back into being.

When he is kicked out of office, he can become the poster boy for the religious right. People should not be playing God. Politicians are the worst since they are supposed to represent the rights of all.

So THIS is a member of the anti-Gay community? So, this low-life is saying he can have all the affairs he want and i can't even be with the person i truly love? He makes his cause look worse than it already is.

Wow Eric M.! No comment just sad at his self hatred. Another Gay Republican hates self...Anyone shocked?? Didn't think so. My thoughts and prayers go out to you Eric!

Let's face it...as long as hating queers is popular with the uneducated, ignorant and bigoted sectors of the electorate, these low-life scumbag Republikans will continue to scapegoat our community for their own political and financial advantage, regardless of their own conduct. These people have no scruples and no honor. Used to be when these things happened the miscreant was tarred and feathered and run out of town on a rail, knowing that shame is never a deterrent for these creeps. Now if we could just get some rails into Albany....

Another bible-thumping hypocritical religious not-so-right nut job bites the dust. One down, still too many to go... Apparently, the Republican party is continuing to attract the lower life forms!!!

And one more thing, MC, yes there are those that take pride in our history of secession. Considering that you live in Atlanta in our sister state of Georgia I would hardly get on my soapbox about it. South Carolina has one advantage over the other former confederate states, namely that with the exception of the Orangeburg Massacre the transitions of the civil rights movement were painless here. Our governor at that time worked with great effort to insure that the school integration and other changes happened as painlessly as possible. This history of easy transition is one, that to my knowledge, is not matched by any other former confederate state, Georgia included.

They say that by Gays being offered the rights to legal marriage, that would destroy the sanctity of marriage! However, by the actions of Governor Mark Sanford and his little Argentinian fling, supposedly that should not affect the sanctity of his marriage! Excuse me, but I am confused, what little fantasy galaxy is the Governor, and others like him, living in?

I wonder if "hiking the trail" is about to become a new euphemism for "cheating on one's spouse." Probably not, but if so the irony would be delicious.
