Re: Bush-Cheney campaign manager, ex-chairman of Republican Party set to come out as
Of course but that doesn't negate the fact many on the left use bigot to describe anyone who is against gay marriage.
I'm assuming you meant in depth. And name the question. If you agree to anaswer one of my own on the same issue.
LOL Just after you make a big deal that all lefties aren't the same you come right back with the bigoted lie.
I'll give you a hint Film guy. You are intolerant of anyone who is against gay marriage so you are no less a bigot than the people you are against. Way to go.
And absolutely his family need sympathy. He has been married to a woman, has kids with that woman and has now decided to abandon that commitment with an entire new sexual orientation.
How can that not be a betrayal of the most basic moral principles he has been behind the past decades of his marriage?
Are you really so far gone you can't see how humiliating this is for his children not to mention his wife?
Ha! Yes, I meant "in depth" not "in death" - that would be an entirely different conversation, wouldn't it?
I've honestly not read any story that mentions him having been married. In fact, I've read several articles on his coming out that specifically state that in covering his sexual orientation up, he was frequently called a "avowed bachelor". So, I'm not sure where you've found anywhere that suggests he was married and has children. Were that so, then it's a really well-kept secret. But I appreciate your concern for these imaginary people is surely appreciated by them.
But, let's say he did have a wife? How is what he did worse than what Newt Gingrich did in leaving a cancer-stricken wife? Or John McCain is leaving the wife who supported him during his recovery from the war? If you leave your wife for another woman, does that make you better than someone who leaves for another man?
Now, if I'm a bigot against those who don't support gay marriage, then you are equating politics to race, religion, ethnicity, national origin and gender. I'll say that I'm bigoted against those who vote to prevent same-sex couples from marrying, if you'll admit to being bigoted against Democrats and Obama-supporters. Personally, I don't think one can be a bigot against a political philosophy - because by nature, all political philosophies have an opposition. That would make every "bigoted" against someone else. If you'd like to call that bigotry, then go ahead.
But, by no means to I equate someone who is against gay marriage with, say, the guys who killed Matthew Shepard. And I don't equate them with the lunatic who is Fred Phelps.
However, the question I'm challenging those of you with is this (and this is the third time I've posted it, and have yet to find a response to it):
If you have two brothers, one straight and one gay - how would you explain to your gay brother that you value your other brothers relationship more? What if your gay brother and his partner have an adopted child? Finally, how would you expect your brother to respond to you when you tell him that you value his relationship less?
It's his life, and is his sexuality relevant to the Bush campaign that happened years ago?
