The U.S. Gay Population vs. Sarah Palin

As a gay American, one of many things I look for in a candidate is their views of subjects such as gay marriage, gay adoption, etc. Not only is Republican Presidential Candidate John McCain against most gay topics, his running mate Alaskan Governor Sarah Palin is on a mission to "save" and "convert" our country's homosexual population. The last person who attempted to do such a thing was named Adolf Hitler and we all know how that worked out. Palin claims to have several gay friends. I'm unaware of the gay population in Alaska but I know this: I could not and would not be friends with someone who thinks gays need to be saved, converted and sent to camps and I don't know of any other gay person who would. I know people who are against gay marriage for whatever reason, ok I can live with that, it's not something I'm 100% with, but I can deal with it if they are for civil unions. I most likely wouldn't be friends with someone who is against gay adoption or against anything to do with gays having children. However, this saving, converting, sending to camp nonsense is exactly that. If anyone out there has ever seen the film "But I'm A Cheerleader", it is a comedy spoof on this sort of thing, but still shows just how awful something like this could be.

I saw that movie! and I think everyone and anyone should go and see that movie, including the bitch Palin. And of course this is child like to say but WHAT DOES GAY MARRIAGE HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH A DEMOCRACY, or her, or the government. Public leaders should be worrying about economic policies and tax laws, not whether someone should get married or not, its private business. As for the gay adoption, studies have shown THERES NO negative affect gay couples can have on children,I still cant understand that to this day. Idiots
