In reply to the discussion: Santorum Booed in New Hampshire While Discussing Gay Marriage [View all]Aerows
(39,961 posts)41. If gay marriage is controversial
and opposed by people, then they are bigots. People were once opposed to interracial marriage, too. Are we going to decide to throw their civil rights out of the window, too, just because those marriages are "controversial"?
Santorum is a hypocrite of the highest order. His wife had a second trimester abortion to save her life, but he would deny that right to other women. I say attack him on all fronts, including his hypocrisy, and yes, on his ridiculous stance on gay marriage.
MOST people in the under-50 age group are FOR gay marriage. It's just the old farts and fundamental Christians that are against it, and that is mostly because they want to revert our country back to some time that never was.

you don't need the state for a marriage. I was with my husband ten years before we got married.
