Did you read the post I made?
This isn't about good vs. bad.
This isn't about Republicans/Bush vs. gays.
And this election wasn't based only on gays.
But there are tons of threads on gay marriage so I'm sure those who are against it, including Democrats and non-Christians, would be willing to talk about it.

Okay, we've determined the (Christans'? Conservatives'? Just trying to generalize those who are against gay marriage for religious reasons, not trying to offend anyone!) problem w/ gay marriage is that marriage is a holy union designed by God.
What about civil unions? Would you be opposed to that? It extends the legal rights to gay couples w/o involving religion, so I don't see how that could be offensive.
If you're a Christian, you'll probably still think the gay couples who are joined in a civil union are "living in sin" or whatever, but people do sinful things every day. Technically, sleeping w/ someone before marriage is a sin...so by that reasoning there should be a law making it illegal to have sex before marriage. Just a thought. 
Oh, and Rudey, I personally would prefer that Kerry not say he was against gay marriage (if he truly wasn't) just to win the election. If he is against it, but didn't say it, then yes, he made a mistake. But that's just me. :shrug:
