Palin Ignores National Coming Out Day

I just took about 15 minutes to do some looking around on the net and could not find a 2008 National Coming Out Day statement from the Obama/Biden campaign or from either of them individually as senators. Fact is, former senator and rabid homophobe Sam Nunn is a vocal Obama/Biden supporter and the top pick for Secretary of Defense in an Obama/Biden administration. That's as clear an indication as any of how Barack feels about us. He publicly embraces the homophobic Nunn as a supporter. Do a search on Sam Nunn and you'll see what I mean. Nunn's public enemy number one of the GLBT.

Sarah Palin's actions in support of gay men and lesbian women since she became governor are a matter of record. She managed to take a divisive issue, gay and lesbian domestic rights and turn it into a unifying issue -- with gays and lesbians being the ultimate winners. Look up Sarah Palin's actions in support of gay rights during her tenure as governor. You'll see what I mean. She took a flawed court decision and used it to convince 60% of Alaskans to support same-sex domestic partnership rights under state law. That may not fit into the paradigm many of you hold toward Republicans but that's what happened and that's how it happened and she's the one who led it. I recognize that many of you will still want to hate on her in spite of that but I'm hoping that many of you who did not already know her record now know and recognize her courageous leadership on it.

My best friends are gay , my uncle died in 1996 from AIDS was gay so I can say from experience I am more than tolerant of gays but what make this country great is that people do not have to force each other beliefs. The Alaskans voters want a Governor who was conservative. What she said she was tolernant not approving of your lifestyle. If she declared a Coming Out Day then she would be going against her beliefs . By the way Laden does not seem the greatest advocate of gay rights. Why are you not questioning his motives? Why does he not come out with a statement saying he supports Coming Out Day? I forgot he is a Democrat so he get a free pass. Republican or Democrat you should question both thier motives? You know where she stands she is tolerant meaning she is not going to bash you, discriminate you, but she is not going to accept your sexuality by declaring Coming Out Day. Let stay focus many other issues to fight.

Where is your article about Obama's lack of recognition? Or, did I miss this on his website?

Some here have said, "This woman is dangerous" and "She's a poor example of a human being let alone a politician" - really, are you SURPRISED?? SHE'S A REPUBLICAN!!!!! That is all you have to know to realize what type of person she is and what kind of character she has. Stereotyping? Please - have you EVER known a Republican who WASN'T dangerous in their ignorance, hatred and hypocrisy? Have you EVER known a Republican who treated EVERYONE with respect and tolerance? SERIOUSLY - just name one. Come on - it should be easy for you PC types. NAME ONE!

The word "boob " as in idiot is a 'Palin"drome !

This country is being divided over issues that focus on the differences amongst its population rather than focusing on our similarities. By dividing us they can keep the focus off of the real issues regarding the state of the economy.

The key word for Palin is "tolerant". In other words, "I don't like you or want you around, but I'll accept that I have to deal with you being there." The fact that she would reject National Coming Out Day but accept weeks based on breastfeeding, farm animals or construction jobs doesn't surprise me in the least. She's a poor example of a human being let alone a politician.

Bill's command of the English language is a good measure of his awareness of the issue.
