| 31st of May, '09 12:30 pm Woah ... this is unexpected. Dick Cheney may come out in support of same-sex marriage.
Dick Cheney.
Most likely due to his daughter, of course. I doubt he'd be in support of it if his daughter preferred her father's namesakes. Still, quite surprising, if true. Just speculation at the moment. Although, back in '04 he did say "Lynne and I have a gay daughter, so it's an issue that our family is very familiar with. . . . With respect to the question of relationships, my general view is that freedom means freedom for everyone. People . . . ought to be free to enter into any kind of relationship they want to." in discussin the then-proposed Federal Marriage Amendment. 1 has told her what they think - Tell her what you think |

| 6th of May, '09 05:05 pm Yay! The governor of Maine just signed the same-sex marriage bill!
Five down, forty-five to go! Plus DC's decision to recognize SSM performed in other states.
EDIT: Oh, cool. The formal name of the same-sex marriage bill is An Act to End Discrimination in Civil Marriage and Affirm Religious Freedom I like that name. :-)
Also, this quote from the article
State Rep. Lawrence Sirois, D-Turner, said he was a deacon at a Baptist church. He doesn't agree with the "gay and lesbian lifestyle," he said, and neither does his church.
But, he said, he also believes in the Biblical mandate of "love your neighbor as yourself."
"That's everyone," he said. "This bill, the way I look at it, gives rights that have not been there for some people in this state."
I may not agree with his views, but at least he appears to understand that his religious views don't belong in the law books, so I have to give him credit for that.2 have told her what they think - Tell her what you think |
