How can you be so self loathing that you would support a party that is vehemently against your own interests? Disgusting The “wacko right” are the ones that have been fighting for gay rights.

In the run-up to the YearlyKos annual gathering at which the Democratic candidates will be speaking, they’re having a furious debate at DailyKos over a 1993 essay in which Markos Moulitsas said, “the demands and pressures of military life are incompatible with allowing integration with homosexuals.”

I wonder how “progressive” Markos Moulitsas is going to explain this 1993 essay?

Governor Schwarzenegger has said, &#8220;I support current domestic partner rights and will continue to vigorously defend and support these rights,&#8221; so why would we want to focus our strategy around alienating the Governor and others like him?

Upholding the law seems a responsible conservative thing to do. To support the legislature in making an end-run around the vote of the people (Prop 22) and the laws of the state (that popular initiatives can not be undone by legislative action) would not have been a proper action, the desirability of the act notwithstanding. I was pleased to see the Governor to use his veto message to send a strong signal of continuing support for same-sex civil unions His words: "I believe that lesbian and gay couples are entitled to full protection under the law and should not be discriminated against based upon their relationships. I support current domestic partnership rights and will continue to vigorously defend and enforce these rights and as such will not support any rollback." must have been very disheartening to the Wacko Right.

His words:

“I believe that lesbian and gay couples are entitled to full protection under the law and should not be discriminated against based upon their relationships. I support current domestic partnership rights and will continue to vigorously defend and enforce these rights and as such will not support any rollback.”

must have been very disheartening to the Wacko Right.
