They need to specify what they mean by 'my faith'. With Hillary, she spent many years opposing basic human rights for gay people and she clearly said each time her religion teaches her to oppose our rights. Does she think we are all doomed to the Hell her faith dictates?
If they refuse to be specific, they should be rejected as vague and possibly dangerously bigoted people, with toxic philosophy unsuited to representative democracy. Hillary should talk about The Family, about her hanging on to bigotry, about her religious views on other people, the people she says she can represent but also thinks are doomed to hellfire or something.
Warren needs to do this too, she was a Republican during the darkest days of Republican anti gay bigotry. She was part of a group that did irreparable harm to others, and they did so out of 'faith' and ignorance. She has never spoken of this. She needs to, with great specificity. Both of them do.
I am not comfortable with politicians who hold bigotries against those they want votes from. The fact that others are comfortable with that is frightening.
