Gay Marriage will kill the Democratic Party
Califonia is a very liberal state. However, the people there banned gay marriage in a vote that said that marriage was the union between a man and a woman. This gay marriage ban, voted on by the public in a ballot initiative, not the California legislature, won with 61% of the vote in a state with 34% Republican registration. This ballot initiative carried 52 of 58 counties.
Gavin Newsom decided to allow gay marriage in his city, using President's day as cover for what he did so it would take longer to be shut down. Well, it has been shut down. On the marriages licenses, county officials have been crossing out "groom and bride" as printed on the standard application and writing in phrases such as "applicant number 1" and 'applicant number 2" or they've been writing in "spouses for life". They are altering the form, they are invalidating the form and thus making the form illegal, every one of them. None of these forms will be accepted.
Many democrats support gay marriage. Why then, did so many democrats oppose Gavin Newsom? It hurts them. Cali's election results demonstrates that most people oppose gay marriage. This is not a good issue for democrats to support, it will make them see too far left for most people's comfort. However, that is what they really are. Too bad they don't come out honestly and share the awful truth with people.
In the San Jose Mercury News: "The biggest surprise of the day came from U.S. Senator Barbara Boxer seeking her third term this fall, long a champion of gay rights who publicly stated she does not believe in changing state law to allow for the recognition of same-sex marriage." So here she is, long a supporter of gay rights, not just supporter, a champion, and all of the sudden it's her election year, and she comes out against this, and she from San Francisco. Democrats are scared. They support gay marriage, but cannot show it.
What bothers me is the way the party's leaders tell those who support gay marriage to be quit. They are telling them that their timing is off. That's it: bad timing. Not that gay marriage is wrong and that they should not support it, but that they should not announce their support for it during an election year. Do you know what this means? The democratic party is trying to hide what they beleive in, and plan on pushing for gay marriage when their seats are not going to be voted out of office. What a bunch of hypocrits.
