I wish Mitt would tell us exactly how protecting the civil rights of gays and lesbians threatens children.

Quote:

Governor Mitt Romney, who is a supporter of the proposal, sent a letter to the committee saying, ''The importance of marriage between mothers and fathers, wives and husbands is so great that we must take whatever action is needed to preserve it, for the sake of our children and our children's children."

That the governor of a blue state can say such blatantly homophobic things in public statements is just revolting. I hope the MDC mamas who live in Massachusetts will make their voices heard on this issue.

I sometimes hate people. Maybe not hate, but strongly dislike. I saw this on television last night and threw my sock at the television. Made me mad enough to spit.

ITA. I hate this kind of fake concern over children rhetoric- like if they really cared, wouldn't their focus be on things like improving schools, making better maternity leaves, improving access to health care, cleaning up pollution, and improving daycare? Their argument doesn't make any sense.

This is such tripe.

This virually always translates to "I'm titillated by the idea of having sex with a person of my own gender. I must do anything in my power to prevent these thoughts and images from coming into my conscious mind, lest I give in to them."

Mitt, you need a good, stiff, ****.
