Even Obama and Biden are against gay marriage

[chicken]

Yep, I just heard it right from Biden. I am bewildered. Here I go feeling like a damn disenfranchised second-class citizen again. I think this might be why I liked Hillary Clinton, she was much more in favor of actual gay marriage, or at least that's what I gleaned from her online position statements a few months ago.

Palin's whole "I'm tolerent!" bullshit made me want to weep. I guess compared to some people on the right who actively want to kill us, she is, but holy cow, that's right up there with "some of my best friends are gay".

It seems to me that, besides general homophobia, the base-fear of the right-wing nut jobs is that gay marriage is going to come into their church. It needs to be made clear that it's up to the church to decide whether or not to perform gay weddings and that has nothing to do with the state. (Though I think they shouldn't get state funding if they discriminate against anyone, but that's a whole other bag of worms.) I'd say that with the exception of some real haters, a lot of anti-gay marriage people, the centrist ones who are likely to vote against gay marriage, aren't against the civil rights issues and would say, just like Biden did, that they think hospital visitations, inheritances, etc., are a-okay.
