I'm feeling very hopeful about the upcoming elections. Here's a quote from a Human Rights Campaign message I received:


--- Quote ---Making sure that people know the records of the candidates and having a fair-minded majority in Congress will broadcast this message – loud and clear – across the country: The days of runaway anti-gay extremism are over. America is turning a corner – and pro-equality voters are leading the way.
--- End quote ---


Here in Colorado, the Democrat in the governor's race is ahead and Latino vote registration is up by 38%! We also have a chance of passing the same-sex partner recognition bill (odd name for it, but it's a start!)

HerrKaiser:
Interesting how the HR campaign suggests "fair-minded" may only be found amongst the democrat party. bigotry is like disease; it is an equal opportunity infection, IMO.

Well, you've gotta admit bigotry seems to be more widespread within the Republican party.  After all, they're the ones who seem to think it's OK to legislate (their view of) morality.

To me, the Republican motto is "If it doesn't affect me directly, I don't care and/or it's not allowed."

Front-Ranger:
Judy Shepherd and Candace Gingrich joined Denver Mayor John Hickenlooper at a rally last Tuesday for the Resolution I measure that would recognize same-ssex partnerships. The HRC has given $100,000 for the campaign, but Focus on the Family has given $800,000 to defeat it. Nevertheless, I believe we shall prevail in Colorado!!

Aren't the legislations being discussed a view of morality as well, and if passed, then, democrats will have deemed it OK to legislate (their view of) morality?
