I was talking to a friend today about different political issues and the issue of homosexuality came up. He told me that because of religious views that he did not support homosexuality personally but knew that his view should have no bearing on US law and according to the US Constitution gays should have rights and that includes marriage.
Istarted to think about this statement and wondered how many people in the US felt this way; that while they were personally against homosexuality they felt that gay marriage should be legal. I also felt how many people in congress felt this way and if put up for a vote would allow gay marriage and the overturning of DOMA?
So my question to you my fellow readers is do any of you feel this way? Or do you feel that homosexuality is fine with you on a personal level. And if you do feel that homosexuality is fine with you on a personal level are the people who don't homophobic even if the support gay rights and gay marriage. I know this is a sensitive issue and this is the one issue we are most displeased at the answers given to it by the Presidential candidates. Thanks for reading

actually, Hillary, although her voting record doesn't show for it, has actively be speaking out about the rights of the LGBT community.
She's marched in the Gay Pride Parade,expansion of hate crime legislation, and wants to put an end to don't ask don't tell policy. People need to be able to embrace who they are.
