The Democratic Party has added new language endorsing gay marriage in its platform draft, the Washington Blade reports. Sen. Harry Reid said in May that he believed the party would alter its platform in favor of gay marriage,

Great idea .... and bring in Barney Frank as the keynote speaker. We might not agree with everything Barney says, but we can surely all agree that Barney is one handsome dude !

This should knock Romney in Israel off the front of Drudge
People in groups will pretend to be tolerant of the perverse (for fear of the liberal thought police), but in private - it's a different story. Inside that voting booth, there are no sicko activists to intimidate people into liberal obedience. People are allowed to truly speak their minds.
Yep. We'll take those voters, thank you.(The Chic Fil A's parking lots are LOADED with customers. These people will vote. )
I checked the GOP platform and it looks okay. Still voting third party for president, but will vote Republican for congress.
"Preserving Traditional Marriage
"Because our children’s future is best preserved within the traditional understanding of marriage, we call for a constitutional amendment that fully protects marriage as a union of a man and a woman, so that judges cannot make other arrangements equivalent to it. In the absence of a national amendment, we support the right of the people of the various states to affirm traditional marriage through state initiatives.
"Republicans recognize the importance of having in the home a father and a mother who are married. The two-parent family still provides the best environment of stability, discipline, responsibility, and character. Children in homes without fathers are more likely to commit a crime, drop out of school, become violent, become teen parents, use illegal drugs, become mired in poverty, or have emotional or behavioral problems. We support the courageous efforts of single-parent families to provide a stable home for their children. Children are our nation’s most precious resource. We also salute and support the efforts of foster and adoptive families.
"Republicans have been at the forefront of protecting traditional marriage laws, both in the states and in Congress. A Republican Congress enacted the Defense of Marriage Act, affirming the right of states not to recognize same-sex “marriages” licensed in other states. Unbelievably, the Democratic Party has now pledged to repeal the Defense of Marriage Act, which would subject every state to the redefinition of marriage by a judge without ever allowing the people to vote on the matter. We also urge Congress to use its Article III, Section 2 power to prevent activist federal judges from imposing upon the rest of the nation the judicial activism in Massachusetts and California. We also encourage states to review their marriage and divorce laws in order to strengthen marriage.
"As the family is our basic unit of society, we oppose initiatives to erode parental rights.
North Carolina just voted 61%-39% to ban gay marriage. Is there any swing state where this issue will help the Dems?
I think they may say they are going to do it and not actually do it.
This will be the final straw for the few dim’s I know.
I hope they go one better and consumate a fag marriage up on the dais. A prime time broadcast would be the best time too, with no tape delay.
Sure, the Dem are going to do this but once it’s through their Leftwingtard platform resolutions committee it will be FORCED GAY MARRIAGE.
This is actually good news, Democrats have defined themselves as the gay party. I can’t believe that will help with fence sitters.

The question is, when were they NOT.
I'm going to need to go to an eyewash station just to get the sick image of such a thing out of my mind.
So by voting third party, you are for same sex marriage? Foolish. Please rethink!
The Libertarian Party Platform and the Democrat party Platform both advance the radical left’s homosexual agenda.
