Despre conservatorul Ted Olson care sustine mariajele gay am mai scris aici si aici. Dar am dat si peste o alta sustinatoare a mariajelor gay, Margaret Hoover. De la Fox. Adica Fox… da, da, da… acel Fox… al republicanilor!

„Gays and lesbians are our friends, neighbors, doctors, colleagues, sisters and brothers.  Does it sit well with you that because of their sexual orientation, a factor outside one’s control, that they should have less rights and protections in the eyes of the law? 

Some Republicans support gay rights, but prefer progress through legislative action or majority rule at the ballot box, rather than judicial action.  But what if a democratic election imposes mandates that violate a citizen’s constitutional freedom?  In the event that majority rule insufficiently protects individual liberty, our system of checks and balances puts forth that it is the role of the courts, to guarantee and protect the rights to individual Americans.

For those of you who would label me a „RINO” (Republican In Name Only) for taking this stand, I direct you to Vice President Cheney, whose conservative credentials are impeccable, and who answered a question on the topic before the National Press Club audience on June 1, 2009 by saying simply, “ freedom means freedom for everyone”. 

Si toata declaratia, aici.

Si (culmea!) e o pagina facebook, Republicans for Marriage Equality  :))) deci, republicanii incep sa se converteasca…? de la homofobi la gay friendly…? now, this is history!
