Where does Obama stand on gay rights?

[Drake Tungsten]

You're so close-minded...

[rah]

I think all news is sorely lacking in that department, not just FOX.

[MrFun]

That may be true rah, so then where do we go to become informed about current events if we cannot use ANY news source?

[Edan]

I still don't get it, Imran.

Do you ever read/watch/listen to hetero news sources?

You go to multiple sources and judge for yourself.
I watch fox every now and then just to balance the other sources I use, since most of my sources are biased a little left. Newspapers used to good to round it out, but they're quickly being destroyed by the economics. Adds don't belong on the front page. It's a bad sign of the times for newspapers. I hope my children's children will know what a newspaper is.

[Japher]

I get all my news from the Daily Show.

you're hilarious

I never viewed CNN, Fox News, Time Magazine, Washington Post or any other type of media news sources as being straight. I just see them as news sources without putting a sexual orientation to it.

More specialized news sources that specifically cater to minority groups though, can be appropriately called gay newspapers, African-American newspapers or whatever other type you can think of that caters to a type of minority group.

I suppose my question was ridiculous - there are white people who have an interest in reading African-American news sources, for example. But the fact that Drake is indifferent about civil rights issues - or even opposed to equal civil rights - for gays and lesbians made me wonder at first why he would care to read gay news sources.

[Drake Tungsten]

I'm not opposed to equal rights for all people. Gay marriage isn't a right.

[rah]

Things are weird when Chaney seems more gay friendly then Obama.

[Drake Tungsten]

Cheney is more gay-friendly than Obama.

[MrFun]

I'm not opposed to equal rights for all people. Gay marriage isn't a right.

U.S. Supreme Court had ruled a long time ago that freedom to marry is indeed a basic right.

I'm not that excited about Cheney's choice of words. Would people had been worshipping him as a sudden turn-around enlighten person if he said that he was in support of desegregation and enfranchisement of blacks but that it should be left up to the states?

What a whimpy cop-out.

[Drake Tungsten]

Yes, one man and one woman do have a recognized right to get married. No such right currently exists for gay or lesbian couplings. Thank you for proving my point.

They are free to marry.

If he had a D by his name, you'd be praising him to the skies.
