Touché Gov. Gregoire of Washington.
Finally, someone gets it. Someone avoids the typical arguments and points out what the core of marriage and domestic partnerships should be focused on. In this article posted by The Advocate, Gov. Gregorie denies the typical pro domestic partnership arguments and states, “I don’t think about the legal protections of a marriage license,” she said. “Instead I think about love, I think about commitment.” Marriage, she said, is “not a contract.”
There are politicians like Gregorie stepping up to the debate and others who are stepping around it. The end of the article makes the point that the United States is still unsure where President Obama stands on domestic partnerships. Personally, I feel cheated. I think the people of the United States have a right to know where our President stands.
Of course, we won’t know, due to politics and the fear of losing votes. However, we want to know how you feel. Does the topic of same-sex marriage weigh in when you vote?
