.9 Sexuality and Gender
The Issue: Politicians use popular fears and taboos to legally impose a particular code of moral and social values. Government regularly denies rights and privileges on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity.
The Principle: Consenting adults should be free to choose their own sexual practices and personal relationships. Government does not have legitimate authority to define or license personal relationships. Sexuality or gender should have no impact on the rights of individuals.
Solutions: Culture wars, social friction and prejudice will fade when marriage and other personal relationships are treated as private contracts, solely defined by the individuals involved, and government discrimination is not allowed.
Transitional Action: Repeal the federal Defense of Marriage Act and state laws and amendments defining marriage. Oppose any new laws or Constitutional amendments defining terms for personal, private relationships. Repeal any state or federal law assigning special benefits to people based on marital status, family structure, sexual orientation or gender identification. Repeal any state or federal laws denying same-sex partners rights enjoyed by others, such as adoption of children and spousal immigration. End the Defense Department practice of discharging armed forces personnel for sexual orientation. Upgrade all less-than-honorable discharges previously assigned solely for such reasons to honorable status, and delete related information from military personnel files. Repeal all laws discriminating by gender, such as protective labor laws and marriage, divorce, and custody laws which deny the full rights of each individual

Why the surprise folks?
I made an observation about Fred Thompson (and I qualified that by stating that I DO like him), reminding me of a 'Southern-fried Gerald Ford' and the fact is that Thompson IS (as EV put it) quite bipartisan, he may not be a typical 'country-club Republican', but I'm sure he feels more than comfortable with them.
Remember, Thompson was already active in the GOP as minority counsel for the Watergate Committee in *1974*, and that was long before the Republican Party achieved a true course correction and became the Party of Reagan. In '74, the GOP was a middle-of-the-road, moderately liberal on social issues party, and that was the environment from which Fred Thompson emerged.
Now the snide 'And so it starts' comment is utterly without basis: I made an observation, nothing more, and I reiterated my own support of Duncan Hunter, while pointing out Thompson's more 'middle of the road' views.
So don't get all worked up for no reason, ok?

Really, little has changed, in the end. The pack is back on the scent. Sad.

You want to know the saddest part of all? These are typical of who is running the country, and who is likely to for the forseeable future.
