Them gays must be stopped. McCain is a Christian now. He must stop them gays.

Mr. McCain, who with his wife, Cindy, has an adopted daughter, said flatly that he opposed allowing gay couples to adopt. "I think that we've proven that both parents are important in the success of a family so, no, I don't believe in gay adoption," he said.

McCain is now a born again Christian. Praise Jesusland we must get their vote.

Asked if he considered himself an evangelical Christian, Mr. McCain responded, "I consider myself a Christian."

"I attend church," he said. "My faith has sustained me in very difficult times." Asked how often he attended, he responded: "Not as often as I should." He has recently been photographed going to church as his campaign has begun to make public the times he attends services.

Dave Noble, Director of LGBT Vote for the Obama campaign, has stated Obama's faith-based initiative will include Gay faith-based organizations.  In replying to Pam Spaulding, author of Pam's House Blend blog, the Obama campaign has confirmed that "under no circumstances will funds from the program will be granted to FBOs for proselytizing or reparative therapy".  In addition, "MCC congregations, LGBT-welcoming Methodist and Unitarian congregations, and other affirming churches will have access to funds".  These funds may be used for HIV/AIDS education and relief efforts.

Now this is CHANGE Democrats can believe in.

I support Hillary Clinton as the Democratic Party nominee and as the next President of the United States for reasons which I've expressed over the last 6 months. So, most of you here on MyDD know that I'm an ardent supporter of Hillary Clinton. But, you don't know that I'm like 1 in 10 Americans who many still refer to as a sinner, a sexual deviant, or as an abomination. So, today, in honor of Gay Pride month, I'm coming out of the closet on MyDD to share my very personal story why I will continue to support and stand by Hillary Clinton.

I grew up in a small town in central Virginia in the 1980's. Luckily, I passed. Passed? Passed as a heterosexual. It helped that I was popular and my quirkiness wasn't questioned. I wasn't subjected to the harassment, bullying, and teasing of which other tomboys or sissies became targets. But what happened to me was just as harmful. I hid. I hid from my family, my friends, and my community. In my last two years of high school, I was confused, alone, and becoming increasingly more depressed to the point of suicidal. By sheer will (and maybe a touch of grace), I made it to college. I started meeting people who were different, men and women who weren't afraid to express themselves outside of the norm, outside of social expectation, outside of heterosexuality. They didn't conform.

 Maybe it is because I am a child of survivors of the Holocaust as well as a lesbian that I find Obama's position on gay marriage unacceptible.
From the Chicago Tribune:
  Barack Obama "I am a Chritian. And so, although I try not to have my religious beliefs dominate or determine my political views on this issue. I do believe that tradition and my religious beliefs say that marriage is something between a man and a woman"  He went on to say..." giving them a set of baisc rights that would allow thej to experience their relationship and their lives in a way that doesn't cause discrimination I think its the right balance to strike in this society"
   As a child of survivors I know "code" when I hear it. Obama's words are code. The words "tradition" and "religious belief" are often used when protecting the rights of heterosexuals (and those not supporting "change"). Those same words are often used to limit the rights of others.
   I do know it would be hard for any politician to support the cause of gay marriage. There is a difference between those who need some time and those who use "code" and hide behind words like "tradition" and "religious belief". This is one of the primary reasons I cannot support Barak Obama. This is one of the reasons,I,as a Democratic, will not vote for him if he is the nominee.
 

When I decided to run for Congress as an openly gay man, I realized that what I was doing was groundbreaking. No non-incumbent, gay man has ever been elected to an open seat in Congress. Rep. Tammy Baldwin is the only openly lesbian woman to be elected to US Congress!

Unfortunately, the first homophobic attack occurred yesterday from a group closely- associated with my opponent Joan Fitz-Gerald's campaign. Fitz-Gerald supporter Jim Hudson, quoted in a Fitz-Gerald campaign press release and identified on Joan Fitz-Gerald's website as Vice-President of Colorado Veterans for America. His statement in today's issue of the Denver Post questioned why I never served in the US military:

I know there have been a couple of diaries about this but their is no doubt the anti-gay marriage amendment here in Florida is in trouble due to the lack of proper signatures to make the ballot.  But what hasn't been dicussed to date is just how short thay are.

According to the Miami Herald it has come down to the number of petition signatures that were "double counted."  The Miami Dade elections office having problems counting petitions shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone at this point.  In any event the exact number they are short is 22,000 in which they have one week to make it up.
