So being opposed to gay marriage disqualifies you from being the CEO of a tech company, but not from being President of the United States.
That's a...convenient...position. Just not a rational one.
Personally, I don't think the government (and certainly not the Federal government) has any business being involved with marriage in the first place, other than providing a registry for the contracts and a court system to enforce them.
- bluetshirt 13y agoI don't remember when Barack Obama donated money to suppress gay rights.
- charlieh 13y agoState Senators, U.S. Senators, and sitting Presidents don't have to "donate money" to suppress rights. They have more direct mechanisms. Nice attempt to shift the goal posts, though.
- bkor 13y agoYou started comparing Brendan with Obama. If someone says it is different, you're complaining about "nice attempt to shift the goal posts". Kind of easy answer.
- charlieh 13y agoSo, let me get this straight: Giving money to politicians who are against same-sex marriage: bad. Actually being a politician who's against same-sex marriage: perfectly fine. Is that really your thesis here?
- bkor 13y agoNope, I haven't stated that. Your continued way of stating things that haven't been said won't lead you anywhere with me. Don't put words into my mouth. I asked to make clear comparisons. You continue not to do so.
- TazeTSchnitzel 13y agoVoting for Obama doesn't mean you agree with his (former) stance against same-sex marriages. Donating to Proposition 8? That does.
