Reply #16: Maybe those efforts would be better spent on people who actually oppose this

and oppose gay rights in general.

The difference for Sen. Kerry on this is hairline thin. He is not the person who is against repealing Don't Ask, Don't Tell. He is not the one who wants to keep DOMA around. He is not someone who wants to repeal Equal Marriage Rights in Massachusetts or elsewhere.

I just think this is splitting hairs. What about the Senators and Reps from your State? What is their position on Equal Marriage rights, Gay Rights and so forth? Wouldn't it be time better spent to actually pressure people who are actually opposing progress rather than spending time on those who are for all those things?

Answer me this: What single policy, in MA or nationwide, would be affected should Sen. Kerry say he will accept the word marriage for what he already supports? What will this do, in whole or in part, that isn't already a part of his agenda as a US Senator? What changes for a single person, either here in MA or nationally?

I am for Equal Marriage. But I have no clue why anyone wants to beat up on a life-long champion for Gay Rights for a quibble.
