The role of sodomy in this years election.

They have both said "NO" to gay marriages, which I find kind of sad. Why can't we just let some people have a freedom that doesn't hurt anyone at all. When I go to the ballot this year I will not vote McCain OR Obama. I will vote for Ron Paul, just like I did in the Pennsylvania primaries. I'm not going to go along with the "lesser of the evils" bulls**t. I will just vote for who I see fit

i dont vote. bush`s appointment into office proved wholeheartedly that it doesnt matter wtf ya vote for anyways. waste of time that.

I'll give any candidate that opposes DOMA brownie points. However, there's more to it than that for me, which is why I'm not voting for either of them. I want a candidate whose policies are as close to the constitution as possible. So you can see why I wouldn't vote for anyone who agrees with that unconstitutional piece of toilet paper they call the Defense of Marriage Act.

There are many things that need to be uncovered about the positions of the candidates. They should be forthcoming about these so people can decide who they want to represent them.

Good question and come to think of it, it will be a deciding factor. But of course I don't know the answer to your question. Off to investigate. Where's my friend Annie when I need her, I'm sure she knows...

Neither are for gay-marriage. Obama is in favor of domestic partnerships and legal recognition of gay unions. He is apposed to the ballot proposal in California which says a marriage is between a man and a woman because he fears it will remove protections Gays and Lesbians have under domestic partnerships. It can't be a deciding factor for me - I won't vote for another Republican war monger who has a laise faire attitude towards the economy and wants to lower the taxes for only the wealthy. I was a Hillary supporter but I guess I'll vote for Obama over McCain any day.

I think my friend Cyntrow did a great job of explaining both candidates' positions on gay marriage so I really have nothing to add on that. However, I'd like to say I think it's really sad that no candidate throughout the primaries from either party had the ba11s to come out and say he or she support gay MARRIAGE, not civil unions, legal rights or any of that stuff which would of course be included in a gay marriage. I'm a straight woman who has been married to the same man for 38 years but I just don't get why people are so opposed to gay couples having the same opportunity to commit to each other by marriage as straight couples do if they choose to do so. The name "Defense of Marriage Act" sounds stupid to me! What does "marriage" need "defending" from anyway? We have straight couples getting drunk and getting married in Vegas as a joke and b we have straight couples breaking their vows and commitments to each other every day but the institution of marriage needs defending from gay couples who truly love each other and are totally committed and faithful to each other? We have religions that forbid divorce even if a couple is miserable together and even if there's abuse and infidelity, but two men or two women marrying "demeans marriage"? I just don't get it! Sadly, I know in every election there are voters who go into the voting booth and make their decision based on this issue or other similarly unimportant ones in the scheme of things. Again, I don't get it! With all the pressing issues that face us - the wars, security, the economy, energy costs, energy independence, health care, education, immigration, privacy violations - whichever side you're on in any of these issue, why would anyone cast their vote based on what someone else may or may not do in their private lives?

I really wish that Obama would support gay marriage. It is a subject I find important. I think we are moving in the right direction, but I will not be happy until we are all able to be joined in the SAME kind of union. I think it is ridiculous that religion can dictate something that should be a given, granted by the government. I don't care what individual churches do within their organizations, but our government should afford the same rights to all adult human beings. I will still vote for Obama, because I like his positions on many other issues, and I don't think this one topic is enough to justify voting for a lesser qualified third party candidate. We have to keep letting our voices be heard, until the people decide this issue in the only way that is fair, and just. I think it will happen. If Obama's position were to be anti-civil unions, I would not be able to vote for him, regardless of his other positions, but I think he is for equality of all people, for the most part. Hopefully he can be swayed on this one big issue.

They are both against it. I have to say that if it was a deciding factor for me then I would not be voting this year. Or for many years to come I am sorry to say. While I support gay people having the same rights as the rest of us there are to many people that are against it and lets face it politics are a popularity contest and politians are not going to go against what they think the majority of people are thinking or they wont get the power that they are seeking.

Not really something I would think about. I suppose it is sad that they can't give people the choice, and let's face it there will be gay couples no matter what you do.

You have got to be kidding! Take a look at the world out there and understand that 'gay marriage' is not be the top priority of anything - who really cares? Homophobe is what you are. When China takes over (because they now own us) will you really be saying "duh - what do they think of gay marriage". Get beyond it! If gays are stupid enough to want to get married - let them. It only means more money for divorce lawyers - and that is all America is about - how to get, keep, and spend money. Unbridles greed. What about the homeless, jobless, hungry...Grow up. Get out there and make a difference in the world.

yes, gay marriages and abortions are on my list of things that I will not vote for. It should raise concern in the media when these things are voted for.
