By gay "domestic partnership" he wants to give gay partners the same benefits as married couples. He wants them to be married with out being "Married" because by saying that he's for "gay marriage" he knows he commits political suicide. By saying he's for basically the same thing as gay marriage without calling it that, he can support the radical gay agenda (as he's done his entire career) while benefitting from the votes given to him by gullible Republicans who SHOULD know better.
By "equal rights" for gays, he's advocating for an openly gay military, gay adoption, etc, etc. He is advancing the radical gay agenda as fast as he can without committing political suicide within the Republican Party. But when you look at the truth - what he's said in the past when he was not running for the Republican nomination, what his policies were while he was Mayor, and the radical gay groups with which he voluntarily associated himself, you see clearly where he stands on the issue and how repulsive it is to traditional Republicans who stand by the platform.
It sounds like he supports "regularizing" gay marriage?
He wants the States to make the decisions, as I do. What has Bush done?
at the federal level? I doubt he is for that, let him clarify. the federal government is going to come in with gay civil union laws to override a state that has decided it doesn't want them?
civil unions is a state's rights issue. where it has been put to the voters, its failing uniformly.
