]]> Comment on Kansas GLBT Rights Bill Moves Forward by jkerns http://www.stonewalloregon.org/?p=338&cpage=1#comment-39 jkerns Sun, 01 Feb 2009 21:28:00 +0000 http://stonewalloregon.org/?p=338#comment-39 That will be one heck of a fight in the legislature! The interesting thing about Kansas is that the moderate faction of the Republican legislators are often more GLBT friendly than some of the Democrats. It was the Democrats and a major moderate Republican faction in both houses that caused the constitutional amendment to ban same-sex marriage to fail twice in the legislature in 2003. It took a new legislature in 2004 to get it to just barely pass. Thank god for Sebelius! That will be one heck of a fight in the legislature!

]]> Comment on Biden – Palin Debate on Gay Marriage by Laura Calvo http://www.stonewalloregon.org/?p=108&cpage=1#comment-36 Laura Calvo Tue, 07 Oct 2008 20:30:11 +0000 http://stonewalloregon.org/?p=108#comment-36 It seems that some were disappointed when Biden said, “No. Barack Obama nor I support redefining from a civil side what constitutes marriage. We do not support that. That is basically the decision to be able to be able to be left to faiths and people who practice their faiths the determination what you call it.” No GLBT person has ever said or demanded that the faith community ever be forced to define what they consider marriage within their faith. Marriage equality has always been about defining the equal but not separate legal rights and protections for ALL couples. The conservative religious community of the right has always been harping that marriage equality, anti discrimination, and all pro equality legislation takes away their right to preach as they see fit. Something which has always been a red herring argument. Palin’s sole purpose for being on the Republican ticket was to pander the religious right. James Dobson and Focus on the family did not support McCain until Palin was put on the ticket. Palin is not as tolerant as she tries to suggest in the debate. Palin’s long time association with her pray the gay away church, attempting to ban books from public libraries, and her attempt to veto Alaska’s same sex benefits for state employees all point to Palin’s commitment to the furtherance of denying equal rights to GLBT people.
