Clinton, and most Dem supporters of DOMA, now say that they regret supporting it. Clinton said that if he had a chance to redo it, he would've vetoed DOMA.

Cultural, social and political views change and evolve over time. Views on homosexuality have certainly changed. Why can't politicians and dumbfucks like the Family Research Council get that through their bigoted brains?

"That sends a message to society that children don't needs a mother and father, when that's false..."

My father died when I was 10. I was raised by my mother alone, grew up well adjusted, became the first person in my family to graduate college, and now have a career. So, no, you don't need two parents of opposite sexes to raise children. All you need is love.

Anyone who stands against gay marriage is opposing equality, freedom, the Constitution, and America.

@cvaldary123 My father died when I was very young. I grew up with just my mother. I'm a well-adjusted adult who graduated both high school and college. I have a girlfriend, a dog and a semi-nice apartment in Boston.

You don't need a mother and a father to grow up well adjusted. I'm living proof of that.

@redsoxfan1984 what about the social sciences that suggest that a person needs a mother and father ?

Marriage is not rooted in nature. Nature couldn't care less how we perceive a man-made classification system...

Why does MSM continue to give a anti gay hate groups and their spokespeople a sounding box? When are they going to invite a representative of a white supremacy group to discuss abolishing MLK Day?

@rg0057 Because the producers, who are charged with making money for the show, are cravenly greedy and need to create a controversy in order to get viewers to the program to sell them products during commercial breaks. They have no other function than to make money. These people don't give a damn about America, our Constitution (except their own 1st Amendment rights as a tv station), or how these HATE GROUPS affect 10% of the population's lives.

If students show that kids do best with a mother and father, and therefore we have to ban same-sex marriage, isn't there a larger issue here? According to this logic, we should be banning single parents, and perhaps forcing widows with children to marry men immediately, so those men can be fathers to the children.

Sprigg is overflowing with BS.

Same-sex marriage encourages the stability of same-sex parent relationships, and provides the child with a language to talk about his or her family.
