Of course, he went on to say that the paper is not antigay, but simply "for marriage remaining the important man-woman institution it has always been." Seems like the paper shares the opinion of President Obama, who cut an "It Gets Better" ad to speak out against gay bullying, but still opposes gay marriage. Do you think such a position is possible? Can you support gay Americans while opposing gay marriage?

Trolls like to confuse people.
^ Haha, I'm just confused as to what *gays* is supposed to mean...
"Asterik gays don't support the fight for equality! " Best. Sentence. Ever. LOL
"sacred", who knows what else I misspelled and i'm too tired to check.
sacred, who knows what else I misspelled
I am a Christian woman who fully believes marriage is a sacrade commitment that should only be between a man and a woman. Having said that I do not condem, criticize, or judge the gay/lesbian community, I don't believe I have a right to do so at all. In fact I don't even support "Christian" groups who tell them they are going to hell for their actions or tell them God doesn't love them because of who they are. I hate this belief and I really wish these people would stop creating such a nasty picture of the God I know and love. It is not Our job to condem, it is our job to spread the love, the word and the work of God. Anything beyond that is His right, His job. I have known many gay/Lesbians in my life and they have always been kind and respectful towards me and I towards them. I hate the nastiness they face and the bullying that has been claiming so many young lives. So make what you will with that Informtion. But know that if you are gay/lesbian...No, I refuse to believe God hates you, I firmly stand by my belief of marriage, but I DO NOT BELIEVE GOD HATES YOU!!
Haha... *gays*... wtf? Attention! Asterik gays don't support the fight for equality!
@Mediabiz - "BTW, many *gays* do NOT support gay marriage." Troll alert. I'm sorry, but how many "gays" do you know that don't want equal civil rights? Your comment strikes me as ignorant (plus you didn't finish it), but if you were going to argue semantics, I think we're all aware that we're talking about the civil institution of marriage here - not the religious one.
Yes. BTW, many *gays* do NOT support gay marriage. Kudos to the
Joseph wasn't thinking to brightly though, it was pretty obvious this would make the news and cause gay rights groups to fight against him. I'm sure no one or very, very few people would have unsubscribed because of a gay marriage announcement. Many people probably wouldn't have even given it thought. Now if I lived there, I would have unsubscribed because of this.
Not many people have the courage to say how they really feel. The president wants to please both sides to keep his approval rating up. Newspapers don't want to lose subscribers as already mentioned. It's a game and people are being played.
This is absurd. I agree with the majority here.
I agree with Pistil 100%.
You can support gays but oppose gay marriage in a destined to fail, separate but equal, way. Does this mean the paper supports and approves everything else it publishes?
Perhaps they don't want to offend their readers and lose subscriptions.
No. No further explanation needed.
Pistil, that's what I thought, too...Why is a newspaper even having an opinion? Shouldn't they deliver facts? Fact is, someone got married. Whether they like it or not, that couple is gay. I don't think that position is possible though, like postmodern said, how can you support gays and then say you don't want them to have the same rights as everybody else? Doesn't make much sense.
Newspapers censoring the news in order to validate the owners' opinions? Sounds just fine to me!
No, I don't think you can be fully supportive of gay Americans when you're opposed to gay marriage. Anti-marriage views for gays is rooted in nothing but bigotry, no matter which way you try to justify it. That's like saying you're all for supporting African Americans, but you still back segregation laws. Doesn't work that way.
I think the position is possible, but should newspapers have opinions? Shouldn't any credible news source be as unbiased as possible? Do they refuse to print news articles on topics they disagree with? I've never heard of anything like that over here.
I don't see anything wrong with this. It's just one newspaper's opinion, who's to say it's more right or wrong than anyone else's?
No.
