Following the disappointing gay marriage decision by the highest court in her adopted home state, New York Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton has said something along the lines of, "Oh you poor dears, you must be so upset that the Court of Appeals has denied you marriage rights. I feel for you, really, except I don't because I don't think you should be able to marry each other either, which isn't to say I don't believe in full equal rights for gays and lesbians, but just not marriage. Why? Well, because it just ain't right."
Here's what her spokesperson actually said:
Senator Clinton supports full equality for people in committed relationships, including health insurance, life insurance and pensions, and hospital visitation and believes we have to keep working to reach those goals.
Spoken with true, slippery conviction that is unfortunately becoming the mark of the Democrats.

HRC is an idiot- when will they learn triangulation doesn't work.
Here is what I would like a journalist to say to Mrs. Clinton; Democracy is not just about voting, it's also about protecting the rights of the individual within the community, so that he is free to do anything, so long as he harms nobody else. Who would be harmed were gay people allowed to marry?
She said that? LOL…. hilarious…. And I agree. :)

I agree with her press statement 100% and I'm from "The Gay Marriage State".
Let's see what happens when the citizenry actually get to vote on this issue, now that the SJC has voted that an referendum is legal. I say Vermont has it right. Civil Union, not Marriage.
I'm from the "gay marriage" state as well, and thank-god it doesn't seem like we are going to be voting on the issue. Deval said something about how if it had been a popular vote a few decades ago on inter racial marriage that wouldn't have been allowed either. It shouldn't be about how people feel personally. It is either equal rights, or it isn't. HRC obviously doesn't want gay marriage and is afraid to say it. Why not marriage? What it the difference between Civil Union and Marriage other than to make gay people feel below us? It is stupid. They are people and should have the same exact rights that we do.
