He is amenable to Civil Unions, and he is making major progress with the Stonewall Leadership. Just FYIJon E.

But politics is the art of the possible. It's a more feasible goal for marriage to be allowed for same sex couples rather than throwing civil marriage out and replacing it with civil unions.Blog Adminhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15900497671781531454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3551647111924186318.post-68423509488872160922010-07-26T23:19:40.946-04:002010-07-26T23:19:40.946-04:00This is a simple issue.

The High Courts have upheld that there should be a separation, and thus there should be. Marriage is a Religious Ceremony, and thus the State "Government" should not be issuing Marriage Licenses. Civil Unions, conducted through contract law should be applied to two people wanting to spend their life together.Baloohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15491703943932248781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3551647111924186318.post-91585458354723277132010-07-26T17:46:46.770-04:002010-07-26T17:46:46.770-04:00DI, thanks for the link.

If you're in a public area, regular folk (and media and so on) can video tape you. <br /><br />Both "sides" had plenty of photos and video cameras, as well as some media. The state troopers had some issues with a couple of signs that were not being held by hand, but other than that, there wasn't any interaction by demonstrators or police.Blog Adminhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15900497671781531454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3551647111924186318.post-82578341462291069212010-07-26T17:27:37.281-04:002010-07-26T17:27:37.281-04:00Their Maryland rally was apparently unfriendly tow...Their <a href="http://carlosmiller.com/2010/07/22/maryland-capitol-police-threaten-videographer-for-arrest/" rel="nofollow">Maryland</a> rally was apparently unfriendly towards some people with cameras.Downtown Indyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06239811599722585898noreply@blogger.com
