The Debate

Well, we all watched the VP debate hoping to see a train wreck. We didn't get that, in fact both debaters handled themselves better than expectations of most. I was pleased to hear Senator Biden stand up for gay couples and say that we should have equal rights in terms of marriage, but I still believe he fell short by saying he didn't support gay marriage.

What did his comments really mean. Gays are currently able to seek out legal assistance in building a bridge to rights through contracts and other avenues. Is that really equality, though? I still believe that the dems fall short on allowing equality. Don't misunderstand me, I am extremely hopeful from what I have seen in terms of moving the envelope forward and approaching the marriage line, but I don't think that we're there just yet. Until we can fully say that a loving couple can marry and receive benefits that are equal, there is still work to be done.
