I would not consider CBN trying to smear her as being pro gay. She is buddies with Tammy Bruce. She has been unclear on DADT repeal.
I don’t think she would be for gay marriage. The other stuff is cloudy as usual.
It is a good word.
So good it was named the new word of the year by the New Oxford American Dictionary.

I hate to see conservative writers surrender to the homosexual agenda by using the word “gay” to mean homosexual.
homos dont have rights. where is my right to use gay? [happy] to use fag? [cigarette]
Yep, I refuse to cater to the language bastardization of the left.
Homosexual bums living in a jungle or a swamp are not
“gays” living in a “rain forest” or a “wetlands”.
oops, left out one
Homosexual bums living in a jungle or a swamp are not
“gay” “homeless people” living in a “rain forest” or a “wetlands”.
Sarah Palin is against spousal benefits for same-sex couples
But she used her first veto as governor to block a bill that would have prohibited the state from granting health benefits to same-sex partners of public employees.”
So which is it?
Well, that’s nice. Thanks for posting.
Yes, Sarah Palin does Support Gay Rights.
1) The right to own a firearm for self defense
2) The right to trial by jury
3) The right to free speech
4) The right to worship in the religion of their choice
5) The right to free assembly
The homosexuals have the same rights as the rest of us.
What the homosexuals want are special privileges.
“Well, I’ve never attended a CPAC conference ever so I was a little taken aback this go around when I couldn’t make it to this one either and then there was a speculation well I either agree or disagree with some of the groups or issues that CPAC is discussing. It really is a matter of time for me. But when it comes to and David, perhaps what it is that you’re suggesting in the question is should the GOP, should conservatives not reach out to others, not participate in events or forums that perhaps are rising within those forums are issues that maybe we don’t personally agree with? And I say no, it’s like you being on a panel shoot, with a bunch of the liberal folks whom you have been on and you provide good information and balance, and you allow for healthy debate, which is needed in order for people to gather information and make up their own minds about issues. I look at participation in an event like CPAC or any other event, along, or kind of in that same vein as the more information that people have the better.”
Conservatives can find someone more principled with better judgment that is more electable than Palin. Michele Bachmann, Herman Cain and Jim DeMint to name a few come to mind.
I don’t see anything here that says she is anti-gay. She doesn’t support their agenda but that doesn’t mean she is against gay people.
Athough I agree Palin is probably against gay marriage, I think she’s being a bit coy here and playing both sides of the gay rights thingy. I’m not going to get down on her on this as every politician does this to some degree on certain issues. I’m convinced her sincere political stance is the Christian conservative one until I see strong evidence to the contrary. I don’t think that’s going to happen.
By supporting their infiltration of CPAC and the conservative movement?
Nothing good comes from allowing a group like GOProud, whose sole objective is promote a homosexual political agenda, in the conservative tent. Palin, unwisely, supports them being allowed in the tent.
You make an excellent point.
Why should it even be necessary to dig around with Google and do "research" and parse together old quotes to try to figure out Palin's positions on such front-and-center issues as "gay marriage", taxpayer-funded "spousal" benefits for same sex "unions", and DADT? It is troublesome, to say the least.
Q: Do you support, as they do in Alaska, granting same-sex benefits to couples?
BIDEN: Absolutely positively. Absolutely no distinction from a legal standpoint between a same-sex and a heterosexual couple. That’s only fair.
Q: Would you support expanding that beyond Alaska to the rest of the nation?
PALIN: Well, not if it goes closer and closer towards redefining the traditional definition of marriage between one man and one woman. And unfortunately that’s sometimes where those steps lead. I don’t support defining marriage as anything but between one man and one woman, and I think through nuances we can go round and round about what that actually means. I’m being as straight up with Americans as I can in my non- support for anything but a traditional definition of marriage.
Q: Let’s try to avoid nuance. Do you support gay marriage?
BIDEN: No. We do not support that. That is a decision to be able to be left to faiths.
PALIN: My answer is the same as his and it is that I do not.
from Tammy Bruce Retweet Or Not, PROOF Sarah Palin Is Anti-Gay
If so, why should Palin hide her light under a bushel?
If not, should she dissemble about her views in order to be elected?
Palin’s official, stated position on same-sex marriage is effectively the same as Barack Obama’s.
That depends entirely on the person taking such a stance. No I don't think any politician should dissemble about their views but every single politician clearly thinks it's necessary to do at times. The political process corrupts every one who enters the ring to some degree and I hope the effect is minimal with Sarah.
agreed. she is a consititutional conservative.
But Ubama's position was stated only for campaign purposes, and everybody - - including the sodomites - - knew it was a lie. That's why the Democrat "mainstream" newsrooms and the sodomites winked and shrugged it off during the 2008 campaign.
