| happydolphin said: So what is wrong with what he said? He said in his opinion he should not amend the constitution with the view he stated. He also agreed on civil union. He said he did not want to encroach on their civil rights. Also, it may have nothing to do with coming out of the closet like you said, but with him having some thoughts and changing his view. That happens. I'm not pro-anyone, but I don't like how you're bashing him like that it seems unfounded. |
The problem is he was pro-gay marriage in 1996, turned anti-gay marriage but pro-civil union sometime after that, and is now being hailed for suddenly being pro-gay marriage again as if it's for the very first time. In this video he is kissing the ring of Rick Warren, who has said far more truly homophobic things than Dan Cathy - including comparing homosexuality to incest and bestiality.
And he's still taking a chickenshit position because he may be against amending the constitution, but he wants to leave it up to the states. Well, if marriage is a civil right, then it's not the prerogative of the individual states to ban it anymore than it's the prerogative of the federal government to do so. As a guy who has made a career off of the fact that his dad was black, he should know that.
