I'm starting to think that Obama would not pass the gay-friendly litmus test if asked the right questions.
Is this a surprise?
Did he give any indications that he was gay-friendly, or would champion GLBT causes? (Other than getting rid of Don't Ask, Don't Tell - which he has already said would not happen immediately!)?

1. No indications as far as I can tell |
|
I voted for him because the alternative was scarier.

2. None of the major candidates supported gay marriage. |
|
I'm not sure why people thought Obama held a different view.

8. Well, probably not, but if the Admins and Mods enforced the rules equitably... |
|
he would be tombstoned. But then again, gay discrimination has a different standard here than any other type of discrimination.

9. Yes, and you know what, that's the way it SHOULD be... |

No coddling around with this shit, you HAVE to support Same-Sex Marriage on this board, period. Skinner actually had to lay down the law in the past, and I hope he does it again. I'm keeping an eye out.

16. I'm building it, by the way, the OP doesn't support Gay Marriage... |

In her own words:
"But I will NOT stick my neck out for same-sex marriage."

15. Uh-oh. Where does it say that? |
|
I support civil unions. I would not vote against same-sex marriage, but I understand those who do. Another nail in my coffin.

5. Warren is also a misogynist |

Women that he employs are all under male leadership because that's "biblical." :puke:

17. Why is that MISOGYNY????? |
|
I don't see how one can equate sexism and misogyny. They aren't the same.
Misogyny is hatred of women. Sexism is not hatred.
